Here are some pics. The new board is installed in the background. Also included is the generator that I just mounted on a trailer that my brother made.

Will get some pics up tonight or tomorrow. The old board was tan in color and the new one is green. Do you have an idea what usually goes wrong with them. Ive read the the capicators dry up but not for sure if thats true or not.

Recieved the new regulator board from Delks surplus and installed it last night. Started the generator up and voltage went to 120 and stayed steady. So something on the old regulator board must have been the problem. The new board was dated 1997 and it looked like it better quality than the one...

An update on my voltage not being stable, bouncing between 100 and 140 volts. I tried adjusting the R16, not the R15 as I said in a earlier post. The R16 is the right one. It worked for awhile but now its doing the same thing again, bouncing between 100 and 140 volts. Govener arm moves slightly...

Started the generator again tonight. Sitting right at 120 volts at 60 hertz. No fluctuation. Will work at getting some kind of load bank to test the gen. monthly, and as the instructions say for testing the regulator. There are some post about loading the genny, THANKS!!

Update on my voltage problem. Printed the pages of TM showing "Testing the voltage regulator" When I turned the R15 pot screw, just a little, the generator started running fine, no more voltage fluctuation. Wonder if there was a little corrosion or dust inside the R15 pot causing the problem.

Thanks Speddmon for the reply. I was looking over the regulator board last night and noticed that it was somewhat dusty. Will clean up the connections and maybe take a toothbrush to the board to clean it up. Will look the info in the TM also. As far as load I need to round up some portable...

Last few times I fired up my Mep 003a, the volt meter has been fluctuating between 100 to 140 volts. The freq. guage is on 60 hertz but you can see it fluctuating slightly in sync with the volt meter. A couple times when I started the genny up, voltage was good untill I applied a load and thats...
