    Electric connector nomenclature

    William Perry will have the smaller 2 items, I am unsure if he will have the largest one, yes I can read the id plate above the large connector, but it sure looks like a 60 AMP connector , I have several of these, these plug typically into what amounts to a 50' extension cord with mating...

    Suitable generator for home backup?

    In the 800 series the ability to have 1 or 3 phase selectable DOES NOT extend into the 804a/b at all as well the 805 on up, yes an ebay seller is claiming his 804 will do 1 phase, its a lie or outright misrepresentation unless he is using transformers or higher neutral voltages [139] to get the...

    MEP-831a no crank and oil pressure light is on

    You can later throw cold water on my response, but at one point 2 years ago I had 5 of these sets, and without fail never could get more than 3 to run at the same time, and never the same 3. always one roving problem after another, and really never a solid fix, just unexplained the issue would...

    Suggestion, just take it [alternator] to a alternator shop get it checked out and or fixed as required, easy to put back on and you know it is good to go either way, it pass's check and or it gets repaired .. mac/mc

    UAS-10B/Electromagnetic Loud Speaker ALH-100278-001 5965-01-562-5796

    600 ohms will be a challenge for you, you wont likely have it, however several simple solutions exist and one if it works is free sans your labor effort. With out making the time to look this up, id bet pretty good money the actual speaker coil is 3.2-16 ohms range and I'd not be too afraid to...

    MEP 803a Battery Drain

    Well you are talking about Peter at Inovatech yes in Kansas, he does a super good job and I must say in all my business experience Peter is at the top of customer support well past the sale. I recently had a 3 phase transfer scheme remote gen set and several other variables tossed in, he knew I...

    generator cable

    Wow have not seen these since I guess the early 80s on radio sets, but the cool but confusing part, the ones I saw were unisex and pardon the pun but could go both ways and the user didn't have a typical male and female ends, rather the user just rolled the cable out and didn't concern rather or...

    MEP 803a Battery Drain

    Frank several things, Guyfang has it dead on, ill be surprised if its anything else. but in concert with Guys offer/suggestion, feel of the Alternator it will likely be warm not hot, but likely not ambient temp, touch other nearby components for a difference, this will either be a solid start or...

    MEP-802 screw size & location

    In adding or converting these sets to AUTO START I found it easier to remove the top cover/s and give myself some room to work, best I recall all the screws are 10/32 hex head no slot, seems like 2 lengths for the large part, mark your spots where you have a keeper nut, save yourself the effort...

    MEP-531A find

    Well I did get it picked up, clean as a whistle, 2 hours on it, but is BONE dry on fuel anywhere in the system, not a drop to be found.. I see where Guyfang is directing and cautioning me to lower the fuel line to avoid air bubbles and erratic running. He offers a solid preventive fix for that...

    M116A3 Fix-up & Conversion Thread

    In my while reasonably short time as a SS member, this thread has been the most interesting and always moving thread. Colt is a sponge hound for a challenge and information equating to solving the situation and moving on. Just at the point the problem has reached a conclusion, up pops a new...

    Gen Set 24vdc alternator help wanted

    well I had followed this in the 6 pages of schematics and then ran short on time and when the wire just ran off the top left of the page, I went to bed. Indeed this series of DOD schematics was not their best effort. But at the end of it I think we agree this is the WIRE we want to set up the...

    Guy so we're on the same sorta page, you're saying excision with the implication it is used to sample battery or really dc control logic voltage ? thus telling the alternator to make more volts and as the [example] batteries will need a brief time to recharge after a starting effort has been...
