Well if it's unneeded tech then I'd rather it eliminated so one less thing to break when I really do need the generator. Thanks!

I'll dig in this weekend if I have some time. Freezing rain here for the next few days. I am familiar with a DMM. I have the manual. I guess I am being a little lazy. I am hoping a few minutes of guidance will save me hours of digging in manuals. If it's a bad relay that is only used when...

Because of my VR replacement the unit does not generate power immediately. I have to hit the start a second time for the VR to wake up. The light doesnt come on until I have the unit running and making power and then hit the output power relay. Sorry I'm not using the right terms. I toggled...

I have an MEP004 that has been used very little (35hrs total). It has been updated to modern VR and exciter and converted to single phase. I have some solar so I no longer use the generator to power my house. Instead it's hooked up to an 80A battery charger and then the house runs from the...

Thanks!

I thought I would put up a video of the flash/avr doing its job. If anyone sees any red flags on what is working/not working please let me know. I rough set the voltage to 240v with fine adjust in the middle. That lets me adjust from 230v to 250v on the dash panel. I call this a win. Be...

SUCCESS! I rewired it tonight and gave it a quick test run. It worked PERFECT! Better than I expected. While I help it in start mode to bring up oil pressure it slow started the voltage and brought it up to 120. Once I release starter it floated up to 240v over the next 2 seconds. Nice and...

So I just went out to take a look at the genset. The reconnection board is connected directly to the output relay and the output relay is directly connected to the output terminals. I assumed it would be more "hidden" but hadnt looked myself. I think I can just connect to L1-L3 of the input...

I have no idea. If I try to run it with the setup I have it overvolts and shuts down so I can't put a meter on things. I was hoping someone has one converted to 240v and could tell me a good point to use.

So I am trying to move to a full replacement of the Flash/AVR for my 004. I ended up buying a non-compatible flash module to go with my AVR. Exciter is 120v/240v and VR is 240v only. The instructions I am using guide me to a 120v point for output voltage detection. In this setup the exciter...

Woohoo!

Thanks! I sent an email.

TOP,FRONT 72-2036 30554 30554-72-2036 36024 That's the top I need if anyone has one.

I just started digging into the manual tonight. Honestly I thought it would be like hens teeth to find a new solenoid. I was wrong. The solenoid is part 1115505 and readily available. Not super cheap but that doesn't matter so much. Debating on OEM on aftermarket. Roughly 2x-3x the price...

I had a bunch of very large oak trees cut out of my back yard. They dropped a large limb on my genset and dented the top over the muffler. It also dented the door covering the starter. I beat the door and top straight enough (16lbs sledge) to get it back on and moving but it has since pooled...
