    Mep 806b fuel sender issues

    I would find where that circuit lands to whatever is monitoring and you can use a resistor or potentiometer to simulate the fuel sender directly to the input take the wire out of the equation. You got about three options, sensor wire or input sounds like you've eliminated the sensor. Sent...

    Even diesel today is less slick as diesel of 1970. I always add a lubricant additive to my sets. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    mep803a was generating power to home but not now

    The disadvantage to charging 2 12v batteries in series is 1 will take more of a charge than the other. As they age and the sulfides build up the battery internal resistance changes, they hardly ever have the same internal resistance. Really kind of a moot point, a battery is 6 cells...

    Relays go bad, that's why they are in sockets. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Unless you get a 2nd one and plan on paralleling them you can just ignore those sync lights Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    If it's just not getting past the contactor the good news is it's a fairly simple control circuit just have to figure out what is not allowing it to close. By the way Geneva Florida as in right next to Sanford?

    That would most certainly do it Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    I built a heater for my 004 which consists of three water heater elements that I just submerge in a tank of water. Without factoring in the frequency you would need about six to put close to a full load on this thing Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Pretty much anything without a motor would be the general blanket statement. Heaters and incandescent light bulbs really don't care about frequency. If you're talking about stress testing this thing you're going to need a lot of load.

    The frequency gauge should be before the output contactor so it should indicator frequency even if the main contactor is off. I would avoid idling this set the avrs are not very happy with low frequency. I've never played with the 400 Hertz gauge however I know the 50 60 hertz gauges are...

    Of all the sets I've worked on that had that model of fuel pump I think I've only had one that was not salvageable. I recently cleaned up a set for a friend that were so varnished up I had to use high pressure compressed air to blow the Piston out of the pump, and once everything was cleaned...

    There are off the shelf options available that will function however tearing the existing pumps apart and cleaning them cost you maybe a couple hours of time a drop in replacement fuel pump can run in the hundreds. If your dead set on just replacing them let me know when you want to do with the...

    Well it's good to keep in mind the overall list of things to do first things first we need to get the engine stable Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk
