Welcome to Steel Soldiers

Have you downloaded the Technical Manual?
Did you search the forums for the same issue?
Issue has most likely been covered before.

 

[Suprman]

The tms are in the section top of the forum page. There are step by step troubleshooting. If you download them and start troubleshooting, and still get stuck, you can at least post how far you got in the process. Making it easier for someone to offer advice.

 

[walkerman]

Looked at manual did not find anything. Not great with these generators

Are you holding the switch in start at least 10” after it cranks and runs?

Search for overspeed to find location of overspeed reset switch (P39/119). Page 54/119 has "2-8 INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS, DAILY CHECKS
AND SELF TEST" that will show how to set up machine for start up. Page 55/119 has "2-9 OPERATING PROCEDURE." that will show you how to start it up.

And don't forget to drop a ground rod.

Lets start again. Did this gen set ever work right? Is it new to you? Did you reset the fault indicator?

 

[walkerman]

when I bid on it it said over speed and under voltage light stays on .A friend of mine thought it may not be a big problem , It never ran right for me

 

[Guyfang]

Did you reset the fault on the fault indicator and the over speed reset?

 

[walkerman]

yes

 

[Guyfang]

You have to reset the over speed first, then the fault indicator. Is that how you did it? If not, or if you cant remember, re do it.

 

[walkerman]

Try to start generator it will only stay on a few second then shuts down

 

[Guyfang]

Try this. Reset the fault indicator, and hold it in the reset position. Then start the set. Keep the fault indicator in reset position. Then flip up the battle short switch. THEN let the reset go. Still running?

 

[walkerman]

Thank You I will try it Monday I'm in Florida looking at the weather. I'm in Clearwater Fl and if anyone knows someone near me that works on these generators I would be happy to pay someone to help.

 

[mcii]

also ? DOESN'T THIS SERIES HAVE THE overspeed RESET LOLCATED ON OR WITHIN THE INTERIOR OF THE CONTROL BOX NEXT TO THE 50/60 SELECTOR SWITCH.. DONT THINK JUST PUSHING THE TESTLAMP RESET BUTTON ON THE INDICATOR PANEL ON THE FRONT PANEL WILL ACTUALLY RESET THE OVERSPEED CONDITION.. LET US KNO MAC/MC

 

[Guyfang]

In message #9 I told him about the resetting of the Over speed. he replied with "Yes".

Thank You I got the generator running most problem were dirty connections. I need to find out how to make this 3 phase generator to
single phase I watched Matt Verley u-tube on doing a mep-oo4A generator I would like to find out if this is the same
Thank You

The 005 is a 12 lead head, so he did a retap to low zigzag. If memory serves the 805 is a 10 lead head and cant be changes the same way.

Ain't gonna happen. You are talking about apples, (MEP-805A), Matt is talking about pears, (MEP-005A).
