the voltage should be about 26.4 volts at the batteries when the set is running. Since the fuse is good, the TM has a pretty good troubleshooting section for the charging system.

As you can tell, Gimp doesn't worry about swinging things out of the way to work on his motor. He just flips the truck sideways and does his work.roflrofl

for the 5KW MEP-002a, I have available spin-on oil filter adapter kits if you would be interested in such a modification. See my signature line for the link.

You forgot to specify...the short bus :beer:

A pallet jack would work just fine, but if you are flipping the hubs you'll need to wheels seperated from the hub/drum to do the job. A pallet jack, and removing the 3" axle nuts will slide the whole wheels/hub/drum off as an assembly. As to the cork in the keyway, I think a little RTV...

I'm gonna try like he!! to make it. At this point in time, all I need is fuel, so if I can find several hundred gallons of free oil or fuel, I'll definitely be there. If I have to buy fuel, the outlook isn't so promising.

Well, I finally got enough free time to wash the Haspin mud off of my truck yesterday...it made me have to come back and review the pics and movies. What a great time, can't wait till next year!!!!

My first guestion was about the tach being inaccurate too. But If I remember correctly, it stopped working on us part way back from PA, so it has to have been replaced. I'm wondering if there could be a different tach adapter in place that would explain the lower tach reading. Also, I'm not...

I just looked at my schedule, I'm working afternoons that weekend, but I may have to get the flu or some other dire illness Saturday evening just to make it to the show on Saturday.

Why didn't ya'll roll over that little yellow insect on the corner in that one picture? Great job on a safe recovery!! That has the potential to be a a great truck!!!

No need to wait 3 more months, unless you just don't want to burn any more fuel. I'm curious to see if starting it at rated speed helps with your generation problem as well as the starter lock-out switch. If you didn't leave it set for 60 Hz when you shut if down last, pull the throttle...

DFN, Don't get too worked up about missing the excerpt from the TM that DH posted. That line is only in the TM for the 002a for some reason. The TM for the 003a doesn't have it in there, but they are essentially the same electronics, so the same rules apply. As to the start switch and what...

With gimp along, everything is an adventure!

Good luck "little buddy", let's not turn this "3 hour tour" into another big adventure.

DFN, When you run the set at much lower than rated speed, the electronic parts inside are working overtime to produce the proper voltages. Overtaxing the VR and Bridge board will lead to premature failure of the components. I would check to see if the flashing is necessary each and every...

From the sound of it, the meter is working properly if you are getting an adjustable reading when you have the selector set for L2 amps and L2-L3 volts. So that tells me that your ct/cvt assemble is possibly kaput. It is a royal pain in the butt to get to, first you need to make sure all of...

Idling the engine didn't hurt the lockout switch. Idling the engine only affects the electronic voltage regulator and the bridge rectifier board. I would check the voltage at the output lugs or the convenence receptacle and adjust the rheostat and see if that voltage goes up or down. If it...

They are fantastic generators, so DON'T give up on it, we'll get you running yet!!!! I e-mailed you how to jump out the start lockout switch, try that and see what you get. After you get it running we'll work on the voltage problem. Also, under NO circumstances, I mean absolutely NONE. DO...

Now Steve, you know full well that maddog and ferro wanted to hold the door closed by tying a rope around the door, and the other end around your neck. It's just a good thing I was there to stop them from talking you into doing it...LOL Don't worry, I got you back buddy![thumbzup]

It may not be the solenoid. Check the wiring coming from the start relay as well, that could have rubbed through on the frame of the set somewhere and went to ground. My one set had a wire coming from the high temp shutdown switch going to ground when I picked it up from the lot.
