only older transformer oil has PCB's in it. You'll not find any of that stuff around any more, unless the transformer it came from is over 30 years old...even then, the oil was legally supposed to have been changed out with newer oils

Well, the power came back on right about 1300 just like they said it should. Could have fooled me that it was even off though. While i was outside servicing the one generator (oil and filter and fuel filters changed) I could hear the other one getting some pretty good load put on it, and it...

out-freakin-standing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad to hear that it's finally breathing life again. Now to get past 5 minutes! Keep in mind that the generator is never going to be extremely smooth. It is only a 2 cylinder after all, just by it's very nature it's going to be a little rough. Did the...

I don't think you lost the rectifiers in the head. As you mentioned..the coils may have been bucking each other, or more than likely, the switch was just short circuiting 2 of the coils together....when it tried to produce power, the short circuit (long before any overload protection in the...

Tom you can come over any time you want. So you know, the MEP-003a is a 10 KW diesel generator.

How did I miss this one??? Well it looks like you have the situation well in hand now. Ike hit the nail on the head earlier. When you flashed the field and the generator started to produce, something shorting out your windings was causing an overload on the engine. It turns out to have been...

So, I am sitting here being bored because I have no power for the next 4 hours.....OH, Wait a minute...I have 2 MEP-003a's, it's like my power never even went out.:jumpin: [thumbzup] :driver:

The fiberglass tube is more than likely to slide over the connector to insulate it and protect it from heat. Not really needed unless you really want to use it. Unless your old connector is bad, just pull it off of the plug, replace the plug and stick it back on. Also, be gentle and use lots...

My co-op is getting better, but the power still goes out very frequently, and the rates are kinda high. But not having to put up with BS inspectors every time I want to do something electrical around the house is nice. a 395 would look killer on the unicycle!!!!! Go for it. [thumbzup]...

I'm not gonna say that Kenny is over the limit to have to move to FL, but I can say with some degree of certainty that he rides a unicycle like a 20 year old blind person! :shock: :razz:

Dead batteries???

I thought Lucky had the same issue with the small lines as Joe is having, and not the pressure lines??? It's very possible for them to be off by a tooth, like I mentioned above, if you use something smaller than the recommended 1/8" dia. rod, you may have enough slop to get them off by a...

If the fuel DOES NOT stop at the "PC" mark like it should, line up the "PC" mark and put the 1/8" rod in the side of the IP. If it goes in as far as it did when you mounted it (you can even use your old pump as a gauge...install the rod and rotate the gear until the rod slips in, and mark the...

Joe, I think Ben may be onto something here...you already installed and timed the pump using method 1, and have the proper button. If you want to verify the timing, I'll try to condense the TM version and clear it up some for you....you can check and verify the timing without pulling the IP...

Kenny, I feel for ya. I like it in the mid 70's myself...I'll never understand why you moved to FL if you don't like the heat????? I run mine every month for at least an hour each, regardless of winter/summer. My power goes out often enough that I want them to be ready at the drop of a hat...

Sorry Eric, no pictures....Ben get's it now. I might have had to resort to a picture if the last explaination hadn't done the trick.

Like the title says....As if my power doesn't go out enough of it's own accord. Yesterday I get a nice post card from the utility company that on Wednesday the 30th there is going to be a planned 4 hour power outage to do repairs. aua aua The poor quility of my service is why I bought my...

Oh, and I haven't heard anything new from Joesco or Lucky about their problems.

The first heater is grounded, but it has to go through the second element to get to ground. Since they are wired in series, if either element burns out, they both stop working since you no longer have a complete path through either one to ground. You're not thinking about the voltage drop...

I looked at one of my spare engines tonight when I got home, and the picture you posted is indeed the correct way to wire the manifold heaters. I think why it is confusing is because the block they are mounted to is isolated from the manifold, so the 24 volts enters the bottom of the first...
