    Solder two wires in to bridge the traces. Reinstall. Try it. If its broke, you cant make it more broke.

    K5 = excitation/ Field flash. In the norm, this is the culprit. Someone held up the S2 too long.

    mep004 reads 0 phase to phase 480 phase to ground

    Typical A5 Failure. The K5 relay should be ok, but TEST, TEST, TEST! And as you see, the R3 & R6 have been hot. Typical. They need to be tested also. I kept 2-3 of the A5 Cards in my desk, or in the jump box. The beauty of the A5 card was it fit all gen sets from 15 KW to 100 KW. I also kept...

    Well, you can fix the traces, and try again. Could be all you need to do. Me? I would get in contact with @kloppk . He has a newer and more robust A5 card that he made. There is no telling how old your A5 is, and there may more than just the traces bad. If you fix the traces, follow the test...

    First real use of Mep-803 | Praises and problems (albeit little)

    I bet they Have wear Metal analysis predictive failure charts somewhere For these engines. If they see an abnormally high-level of just about anything, they can probably tell you where it’s coming from. Saved my butt more than once! The Army has more info then the Star Ship Enterprise could...

    Do you read schematics. J37 is the the S9 over speed switch C-Plug. The S9-1 contacts are important here. When the S9-1 contacts are in the position shown here, (pins A&B are made contacts) S9 allows the starter to engage, starting the set. At about 800 RPM, (if i remember right) the S9-1...

    Polaris MRZR-D4

    Low density vehicle. That's what I wrote at the beginning. I wrote a mail to a Marine unit and a Army unit asking for some info. Both replied that very little documentation came with the vehicles.

    Hello From Texas

    Figure out what max load is for both houses. Not guess. With load management you might get below 30 KW. Less fuel usage. And I would tell you, yes, an A model would be much easier to fix if something goes wrong.

    MEP 804A Won't Start

    I thinking one of two things: 1. The injector pump needs reworking, or 2. The fuel actuator is not functioning fully. Do not jump to conclusions. You are not an positive person!! Could be very simple. I would pull the MPU out, inspect it, clean it, reinstall it and TEST it. IAW the -24 TM...

    New MEP-803A owner here looking for advice

    A good place to start is the PMCS in the operators TM. It will give you some leads. Look at the before operation list first. Then start simple. I would get a pen and paper and LOOK at everything. Write up what is missing and or looks odd. I would also take the control cube top off and look for...
