Now, i would be interested in doing that for sure. Do you have any plans for doing that or did you just start welding and thats what you came up with?

Im giving up. Im selling my MEP-701A. It runs really great!! It just wont generate electricity. I dont know enough about these things to be able to fix it. Im in WV. If anyone is interested in this thing, come and get it!!

yeah , i thought it was too good to be true.

I took my MEP 701a to the shop the other day to get the AVR fixed that i screwed up. While im there talking to the guy, he tells me that the generator is not wired to its full potential and that he can make it a 12kw generator rather then a 3kw just by changing some of the wireing. Anyone ever...

well, i think since i have the original VR, and it obviously wasnt the problem, i think im going to put it back on and see what happens.... ive already fried one SX460

This might be where that spark came from.....

Installed new voltage regulator and new diodes. Nothing..... Now what????

Well that's what I'm gonna tackle next. I finally downloaded the correct manual that shows that stuff. The one I had was the operators manual. I think I can go in from the end and take them out. I'll let u know Sunday!

Well. SX 460 is successfully installed. Still no volts or freqs. Back to the drawing board!!

Well... Moment of truth..... I'm either about to have good results or make sparks fly!!!!

Thank you Ike. I appreciate it!

Can someone please show me where the other 4 wires go? I got f1 and f2. A picture would be great. Lil frustrated!!

Got the old one out. Wires tagged. Now off to radio shack to get the right connectors.

Thank you Ike. You've been a huge help!

wow ok. i already have the SX 460. sounds like i have a job to do in the morning. if its not the VR then ill find out after the upgrade. ill take pics and post my progress as i go along. once again, thanks for all the help

is it this whole box?? or just some part of it?? sorry so fragmented, have to upload the pics from my phone and then write my questions.

its the AC regulator. the whole big box? there seems to be alot of stuff in there...

well, i have proven that im an idiot when it comes to fixing military surplus generators. has any one posted a step by step process to removing and replacing the voltage regulator on a MEP 701a/ 016b generator? I have got lots of good info off of here, but still im not even sure what part...

Yeah. I think that box is ok. The TM I have only references that one. Not the other one. It will have to wait till I get back in town Monday. I really appreciate all the help!!
