It runs great there are a few minor glitches in the electrical system (thanks previous owner).
There is one sensor of the governor dead , and i think i am missing some links of the "throttle"
If i had the technical manual or a picture how it was connected , i would know for sure.
The "problem" i now have is the primary fuel filter.
The one that was mounted now was too small , it barely reached both sealing surfaces of the filter and the spring did not compress.
The space available in the housing is 4 inch and the recommended filter is 5.8 inch .
Im not very good at math but something inside me says it doesn't fit.
Or i need a bigger hammer.....
But i will find something that will fit better than the old one.

Can you take a better picture of the fuel filter housing, and maybe the filter? And part number of the fuel filter housing if it has one and you can find it. The picture you posted makes me think that the housing is a standard one, for several gen sets.

It's been a while, but today I was able to work on the generator.
The spring in the diesel filter housing was full of crud and it could not compress , I have cleaned it and the filter fits now.
And I guess I have found the problem the previous owner had , why he cut the wiring loom.
In the relay box is a wire which has been hot and a diode is broken in two.
Are there wiring diagrams of generators from the same era with the same kind of technic ?
I have not found one piece of paper for this unit.
Doesn't the army have a archive with manuals of these old machines ?

On the relay box, there should be a name of what it is, mabe a part number. ANY info written on the box, inside or out. Also if the circuit card has info in it, write it down and send it to me. I will look in a few other TM's I have. The is a slight chance that the box may have been used in another set.

Is there a museum for generators ?? maybe they have a manual...
I have been tough the internet and no luck, I have found the numbers for the manual but nothing more.
There is absolutely nothing on the relay box , on the relays there is some info of the relay .
On the voltage regulator which is located above the relays box is a nameplate :
It is of the same era....

I am by no means knowledgeable on gen sets but I found this tm 5-6115-626-14P for what I think you are hunting for for a pu406?

Juan,
This TM is for the PU that came after the one GUUS is looking for. It mounts a MEP-005A on it. Thanks anyway!!

It has been a long time but i have found the technical manual ( TM5-6115-321-12 )
It is still available on paper.
Now lets see if i can find all the "repairs" of the previous owner.
