MEP-016B Tripping DC Control Circuit Breaker
Hello Everyone,
I’m having a problem with the ‘DC Control Circuit Breaker’ tripping on a MEP-016B with 1824 Hrs.
Got this little monster a month ago. Flushed fuel lines and tank, replaced fuel filter, refilled with fresh fuel and put in 2 new 12V batteries (in series).
It started and ran it for about 30 minutes then I shut it down.
A week later, I tried to start it again, but as soon as I turn the ‘Master Switch’ and reach ‘Run Aux Fuel’ it trips the ‘DC Control Circuit Breaker’.
If I disconnect the ‘Fuel level Switch’ on the Fuel Tank, turn the ‘Master Switch’ to Start, it will turn over, it wont trip the ‘DC Control Circuit Breaker’ but it will not run. Same will happen if I re-connect the ‘Fuel level Switch’, then disconnect the wire #11 on the back of the ‘Master Switch’, or 1 of the top 2 wires on the back of the ‘DC Control Circuit Breaker’.
Please see attached photos, and see if you can help me out using the photos as a guide.
Thank you all in advance.
