    MEP-002a Starter trouble shoot question S1 to K-3

    While I was dealing w this, I got out my spare control box I bought cheep back when everyone was parting these out. I noticed the VR board is newer, dated 1996. The rest of box shows a lot of age and wear, with almost 4K hours on meter. I see this board has a bunch of jump wires on it that...

    MEP-002a Starter trouble shoot question S1 to K-3

    Well, I'm an idiot, but that is not news to me. I was wondering why they would have put CR-1 diode for crank on VR board, but there it is, a diode also marked CR-1 and the only one visible. Probably I missed something in TM that would have told me correct location. I see the diodes mounted...

    MEP-002a Starter trouble shoot question S1 to K-3

    A-1 hook ups are as you listed except for #6 which is P58A, not P58B. I'll add that I never messed w the wiring in this, and I used it a few times to run house before I got my 802, so I know it worked then. No P58B nearby that I could see either. In taking the A1 terminal out to check if it...

    MEP-002a Starter trouble shoot question S1 to K-3

    Tried to start with another board today, still no crank. I tested the CR-1 diode before installing it and it tested good. I also seem to have made a mistake in post #5 . I stated I had 24V at A1-5 w S-1 in crank and zero at A1-6. I mixed that up, I have 24V at A1-6, and zero volts to A1-5...

    MEP-002a Starter trouble shoot question S1 to K-3

    Generator starts and runs with this circuit bypassed. Low oil sensor runs fuel shut off on these, I believe, and I did check. Also checked starter cut out circuit and overheat circuit before I posted this thread. Am only aware of the DC breaker on panel and the main current breaker. There is...

    MEP-002a Starter trouble shoot question S1 to K-3

    I'll swap out the board w a spare and check that while I order the CR-1 diode. My lack of knowledge of basic circuitry adds to my confusion, 'cause like I stated, that diode is not isolated on board, made me wonder if any of the other components it is connected to could be a problem, since the...

    MEP-002a Starter trouble shoot question S1 to K-3

    CR-1 tests good w static diode test on circuit board w Fluke. I might not have been clear, CR-1 tests around 13V to actual diode on circuit board when S-1 is in crank position (when A1-5 has 24 V) That is probably not a test in TM, just checking things out, trying to learn. The numbers I...

    MEP-002a Starter trouble shoot question S1 to K-3

    Yes (24V) at TB4-10, yes A1-5, no (0 volts) A1-6 and of course no at K3-X1. If there is nothing between A1-6 and CR1, maybe should check for cold solder joint on CR-1. I'll have to admit I'm one of the many who is more of a mechanic, with limited electrical knowledge apart form basic trouble...

    Thanks for the reply, CR-1 seems good, .698 in one direction, OL in other.

    MEP-002a Starter trouble shoot question S1 to K-3

    I decided to get an 002 out of storage and run, since it has been a while. This is a low hour unit(89) that has been stored in shipping container so no weather or rodents. Cleaned up fuel system, checked IP plunger etc. Hooked up good batteries, primer and heater work, but would not crank. I...
