Okay so i was looking through craigs post again. Not real electrical savvy so tell me if im reading his schematic correctly on which wires he used for the 240v configuration. T8 & T10 T2 &T4 are for 3 phase, capped , not used. For single phase he did this T11 and T3 T7 and T6 T5 and T9 T1 and...

Yes chainbreaker , i have been skimming through rusty studs post on his modification. I was also read through Craig Tull's post as well. Seems that the sx 460 should function fine without the flash option according to craigs post. I would like to strip all of the extra stuff out of the...

Thanks for the reply Diesel Addict, but i do not believe its my vr. I replaced that with a good take out one to no avail. My machine would still not make power. Unless, the one that triple jim makes bypasses the other components like the bridge rectifier, cvt1 etc ? If thats the case , i...

Hello and how are you all doing today. Planning on dedicating more time to getting my 003a making power again , however im interested in changing it to an sx460 avr. This unit i had written about before and still never was able to repair it. I had a bad alternator (ac ) and bought a good t/o...

So, im thinking about another conversion. What is the max continuos rpm of the 10kw engines ? Years ago i bought a 400hz unit to repower an 003a . I know they are built to run at 1800 rpm for generating power. But, what could they run at for lets say , 3-4 hours ? Could they run at 3600 , or...

I had a similar issue about 2 years ago. turned out my filters on the pumps had been getting dirty. after cleaning them the machine started up and ran like a champ, didn't shut down on its own. Ran it for an hour and had no further problem with that. metalworker393

Hello and good morning to you all. I had some time last night after work to continue on this. I had power at the pump and when turned to the aux position, I could hear the pump run barely a second or 2. I decided, first check the filter. found a little debris in the bottom. Nothing major. Then...

Yes they are the original pumps. The unit runs good, and I am considering replacing them just as a preventive maintenance measure so they don't fail when needed. The outside of the pumps are getting some surface rust from age. I have the generator set up inside my shed to keep it out of the...

Should I also see 24 volts at the solenoid connector?

Hello and how are you all doing. Have a question I could find the answer to in the TM's . I'm doing the PMs on my 002a ,changed the oil and moving to the fuel system. P1 and P2 are working well. I cleaned the screens in the bottom of the pumps last year and haven't had an issue. My question...

Thanks for the responses guys, I'm not really thinking along the lines of a "stabilizer" . I am more interested in keeping the system "clean" , trying to avoid any varnish, and at the same time I want to keep the IP lubricated. I usually keep diesel in it that has a nice clear yellow tint to...

Hello and how are you all doing today. So I have a question regarding my fuel system on my genset. I have an MEP 002 for my backup power. I usually start it up and run it for a half an hour a month to keep it ready to go . I had a larger fuel tank made for it after hurricane Sandy, that way I...

I have a spare engine for my Deuce, quick question. Before I put the turbo on it, how many gaskets are required between the manifold and the Turbo. There are at least a half a dozen gaskets from whoever rebuilt the engine previously. ( it has a rebuild tag on the block) Thanks, metalworker393

Good day to all, there were no instructions in the box when I opened it. I was thinking if I ran 2 wires from the meter to the input wires of the transducer , connected them there that would work. Then, tape the original wires off that connected to the meter that would be a satisfactory...

Hello and how are you all. I have a spare 002a genset. The frequency meter quit working on this unit and I bought a digital meter to replace it with. can someone give me a good way to connect this? I machined a mount for it, have to drill a couple new holes though. I have 120 volts going into...

Thanks T, when I picked the tire and wheels up I took them apart and the old o rings were in there. I was able to get a number off of them and order replacements. I did clean the groove where the o ring sits to make sure there was no dirt or debris to cause a leak. I will say however, these o...

very good guyfang, I will try changing that out and see if it works. Thanks, metalworker393

Yep , I have the metal beadlocks in the tires, the wheels came with valve stems and the rubber grommets appeared to be in satisfactory condition. I have replaced the orange o ring twice on this peticular wheel. I also have a 3/4" torque wrench and torque the wheels (together) to 450 ft. lbs. I...

Just have a quick question, would the A4 board from a 112a unit be compatible in an 003a unit? have one of those. Bought a 112 for the engine and fuel tank, still have the distribution box.

Thanks Jim!
