    MEP-004A parts, and problems

    You are referring to the DC breaker which I mentioned is working fine in my post. From reading I think there is a reset switch some where else that I am missing.

    No problem your help has been tremendous.:) I was aware that compartment is the high voltage section; but I needed to find out what kind of relay was clicking back there when I turned the master switch to start; is it the disconnect starter relay? I looked for this terminal strip in the diagram...

    Hey Thanks again. Jeez I spent an hour unscrewing ALLOT of rusted small bolts with rusted nuts on the backside of bulkheads and in places I've never dreamed I'd have to jam my hand. I also pulled the panel in the back where the fuel pump is at the tank. Think I did finally find and you...

    zarathustra again many thanks for your help. I've looked at the manual again and the CR5 diode you mentioned; is it on the resistor diode board shown in the manual inside of the control box? Also which is the K12 relay? Is there a "K12" on it or by the socket in the relay bank show in one of my...

    10 kw generator mep 803a

    Thanks much for the information. I will check your suggestion next weekend. I forgot to mention I did pull the plugs at both fuel pumps and float sensor on main tank and the CB1 still popped. This sounds stupid but where is that other relay I could hear clicking ( somewhere in the generators...

    10 kw generator mep 803a

    After a delay work caused I was able to check and try your suggestion. I found number #3 to cause CB1 to trip. I left it disconnected and I could hear the fuel pump now run with switch in the first 12 o'clock position. Pump stopped at the second position and when I turned it to start I could...

    Thanks for the info; I will try it this weekend and give an update. I haven't hot wired around the CB1. I just setup a switch and fused wiring to energize the fuel pump and stop solenoid and use the crank switch to turn it over to fire it up; then flip it back to normal. Everything is dead on...

    HHHEEEELLLLPPPPP... Sorry for long delay; work took me away all this time. Recap I have a MEP 803a TQG. Every time I turn the Master Switch from the off position the CB1 breaker trips. I replaced the master switch with the "newer" one and the CB1 still trips. I can turn it to the preheat and...

    I just printed out the manual at the link I was given. WOW 27.6 gig buffered/spooled 293 pages. Printer laser can print both side. When it was done I'd swear my printer gave me the middle finger..

    10 kw generator mep 803a

    Thanks, Would you recall where those threads are or were? Just in case I have started to look for another master switch; but if I can't find one maybe I have to install a set of switches to energize and prime then start. Looks to be four - One momentary contact for glow plug; one on/off for...
