A quick possible fix: Remove the transducer. On the back (where it mounts to the panel) may be two adjustment potentiometers. If they exist, not the exact position of each, then run each from minimum to maximum two or three times. Reset the adjustments to the exact position noted prior to...

That was just the cover!

1. Where does the wire get hot? At the end (say where it connects to the frame?) or in the middle some distance from the connectors? 2. This does indicate either the starter or the ground cable has failed. (diesel on the starter or wires would not normally cause a problem...)

Just my opinion: I'd buy the entire unit and then I'd save the original for spare parts. I do have a lot of storage space, however.

on http://www.hfifluidpowerproducts.com/Pages/Hydraulic-Fluid.html, about half/two thirds down is a chart... Might this be helpful in selecting oil? I think the only thing that might be a problem is that hydraulic oil is usually only sold in 5 gallon buckets, but an option might be to get snow...

FWIW, this is the same filter in the 004 and 005 generator sets, and probably in the 006 as well. The correct part number is P13-1919 (or P131919). There are some listed on eBay at this time, (not cheap) and I'm sure there are more from time to time.

In run mode the solenoid 'rod' is 'retracted' into the body of the solenoid (Solenoids work this way the core is sucked into the coil's magnetic field when activated) according to the diagram. Additionally: if you can't move that output pin of the solenoid manually in/out it is likely stuck.

You need to understand wet cell charging a bit, but you won't damage the batteries with what amounts to a trickle charge. You can apply 14V to a 12V battery for many hours without any damage at all, and that translates to 28 volts for a 24 volt battery system. That is why those generators are...

Look at the LM2907,LM2917 series of ICs. Their datasheet is at http://www.ti.com/lit/an/snaa088/snaa088.pdf and it has some sample/example/test circuits that may be useful for you.

There's the problem: the MEP puts out 416 volts wye configuration not 480 volts. You would need to do some 'custom' rewiring on the voltage selection panel to get it configured to 480 delta.

Bottom line, this is a simple circuit and would not be ideal. There is a tachometer IC (if I remember I'll look it up) that would do much better. But the answer to your question would be yes, you could tweak it to work.

Great comment, Keith. Let me add: First there are several versions of the meter/transducer pairs. Not all are 60 Hz to 100 µA, some are different. :-? So don't go mixing meters and transducers--they are a matched pair. Second the actual meter adjusting screw is for zero set only, and should...

Recharge the batteries. Monitor the battery voltage while cranking--I suspect you will see it drop substantially when you try to crank. You are seeing classic signs of discharged or bad batteries.

There are strict rules about credit card charges, delayed orders, etc. The bottom line is that they can't charge your card until they ship, and if they do they run the risk of running afoul of the rules. Simply (in writing) cancel the order and advise them to issue a refund. If they fail to do...

If they are swelling up after 15 seconds, then I'd say you probably have the wrong ones installed.

I have an all electric home too (but no A/C) including electric heat. It is virtually impossible to get my 004 up to full load no matter what I do. A stove typically draws about 5 KW in normal operation (say the oven and a single burner, or two burners) the pump is probably about 1 KW or so...

I'm about 95% sure that is a Hercules D-198 like in the MEP-004 15KW units. Injectors are easily found.

Well, 15W-40 is what I use, and it works for me... Maybe oil filter issues?

What oil are you running in it right now?

What oil are you running in this? If you run the wrong oil, this will happen.
