    MEP 006A low oil pressure light / won't generate power

    You are getting no excitation voltage to the main gen. The initial excitation voltage is sent from the S9 switch. b. At an engine speed of 580 to 620 rpm (accelerating) element S9–1 transfers two sets of contacts, energizing the field flash circuit and de-energizing the crank relay to stop...

    MEP 006A low oil pressure light / won't generate power

    I have the old style over speed switch with the three screws to adjust it. I followed the troubleshooting instructions listed in the technical manual and tested the over speed switch for continuity between pins A and B, G and H. I believe the overspeed switch is good based on that test. Not...

    MEP 006A low oil pressure light / won't generate power

    Ray wrote: S3 would not be causing your problem. (Correct) As mentioned, the generator SHOULD be producing power whenever the engine is running. That power should always be present at the AC outlet ( assuming it's CB is good ) it will also always be present on the input wires of the contactor...

    MEP 006A low oil pressure light / won't generate power

    I have test the fuse with a multimeter and verified that the fuse is good. "It is suposed to produce voltage as soon as the engine comes up to rated speed." This generator isn't operating that way, and even when it was producing power, it did not operate that way. We have always had to start...

    MEP 006A low oil pressure light / won't generate power

    The set should not stay running when you have a LOP situation. And if you can reset the LOP light, and it stays off, this is not normal also. Instead of buying a LOP switch, try testing it. Then try jumping the switch, to see if your set runs right.

    MEP 006A low oil pressure light / won't generate power

    Let me ask these questions. As soon as you start the set up, does the LOP light come right on? Or does it come on when you try and close the S5, (AC power out) switch? And have you tried to start the set, get it running, and then flip up the S7, (Battle short ) switch, and then try and turn on...
