Mep 804a not stay running

[ItWasntMe00]

When I move the s1 switch to start it only operates when held there I also moved the battle short switch up to see if it would continue running that a no... Any idea on what I could do

Is this set new to you? Do you have experience with miitary generators? Did you read the TM (technical Manual)? Have you ever seen it running correctly? Does the oil pressure come up? You need to hold the switch in start for a few seconds after it is running until the interlocks are satisfied. I have a MEP 003a that has a slow oil pressure shutoff and I must hold it in start at least 15” after start—not normal but it works for that set. Try holding in start until the oil pressure stabilizes and the wait another 10” and see what happens—again, not necessarily normal but it may work. By the way, what are you doing with a 804? You understand it only produces 3 phase? I have two but I need it to run 3 phase equipment. You can finagle and get some single phase out of it but not what it was designed for.

i read the tm and did some other digging maybe its the run safety circuit and yes is ran correctly before. the oil pressure stays high i leave the s1 in start for about 8 sec then wait 10 and try again.
