Hello, I was hoping you all could help me. I have recently purchased an MEP 002a. It was running fine, then started to run for about 30 minutes and then it would shut off, and during the time it ran it's power would run down. I thought it was maybe an overheating issue and the oil pressure switch was bad, which I have found is possibly a common problem. So I took it to a mechanic who works on diesel equipment and had him look at it, and he noticed a few things that needed to be fixed. One thing was adjusting the valve clearance, and the batteries were not charging. Realized part of the heating problem could have been the valves too loose and created a lot of friction. We blew out the oil cooler, which had a lot of soot, and the air filter was dirty. Also put in new glow plugs--intake and manifold--bought a new oil pressure switch which has not come in yet, put in a new stator and rotor, still no charge. Noticed the capacitor, one of the lead rotors have corroded off the capacitor, could that be a problem with charging?
So, I got the generator back. It starts a little easier and is a lot quieter than when I first got it, but the engine stop solenoid keeps tapping on the governor and making the throttle and makes the hertz continuously jump up and down. It only does this when it is under load, but not when it is just idling. It is also throwing the breaker on the generator with any load.
If you have any help, I need it ASAP. Thank you
