mep002a voltage problem

My mep002a is running at max voltage all the time. Showing 130 volts or 300 based on setting. Any ideas?

Just off the top of my head, and being new to the GenSet scene, I'd say it sounds like a voltage regulator. Do you have the TM? A few of the "paraexperts" will chime in and let you know for sure.

It's definitely the voltage regulator. When the voltage goes high like that and stays there, your voltage regulator is not putting out the signal it needs to. The TM's have the schematic and parts list and testing procedures for the voltage regulators. If you cannot repair it yourself, you can try Delk's Army Navy Surplus to buy another one. They should have some, as they seem to have a great deal of parts for these sets around.

Thanks, looks like the regulator is bad. I'll try your advice on finding a replacement.
