    Gen 2 light going on/off among other things..

    Evidently nothing unless it is still providing the second half of the 24V needed to turn the 24V starter (assuming you have one). You really should download and read the manuals.

    Connecting MEP to house

    Then 2008 NEC lists an exception to that neutral/ground bonding. Based on my training it would be a good idea to have a grounding electrode system in your detached garage but we should consult the NEC to determine if it is required and how it should be built. Attached is the entire 2008 NEC...

    Trouble getting MEP-003A going

    treeguy Generally there should only be one location where the neutral and ground are bonded together. (there are exceptions like 250.32 B (1)) If your house has the neutral/ground bond in the meter and not the house panel then a transfer switch that disconnects all four wires requires your...

    Trouble getting MEP-003A going

    Where did you get your 50A rating? 2008 NEC, Article 400, Table 400.5(A) states that an SO cord with three current carrying conductors is rated for 35A. Your SO cord will work fine for a temporary install assuming you do not overheat the insulation on the cord. As long as the connected load...

    Connecting MEP to house

    If you had all four wires to the garage you would connect L0 to the neutral, L1 an L3 to the phases and the ground to your generator frame ground and then remove the L0 to ground bond at the generator. You would also want to remove the bond from the neutral and ground at the garage panel...

    Trouble getting MEP-003A going

    I think #8 is too small as well. I am using #6 for a MEP-002A.

    Need some quick help to fix my M1009

    Start by downloading the TMs and reading them. It could be the pump, the lines, the modulator on the transmission. Everything is covered in the TM and there are lots of hits searching the CUCV forum...

    Trouble getting MEP-003A going

    Why disconnect the neutral? Depending on local codes the house panel and the meter can should both have a ground rod (and or metal water pipe and/or if old enough a metal gas pipe as well creating the grounding electrode system) so if you disconnect the utility neutral (grounded conductor) you...

    2 M1009s from Shelby

    That small silver square with the white wire is an NMO antenna mount. The white wire should be a 50 ohm coaxial cable. That silver box with the cooling fins and SO-239 ports is some sort of radio frequency amplifier. That white cable terminated on the amplifier, where does it lead? To the...

    MEP003 siezed up

    You might get them to sell parts off the items they buy for scrap. Could help a few people out and they could make a little more money.

    meo002 starter trouble

    Do you have these? These are supposed to be pdf files. TM 5-6115-584-34 MEP-002A Maintenance Manual TM 9-6115-584-24P - MEP-002A TM 5-6115-584-12 MEP-002A Maintenance Manual

    MEP003 siezed up

    Obviously there could be major mechanical damage. Does it move at all or is it locked up. If it is locked up you could try soaking the cylinders with some oil to see if you can break them free by hand.

    Engine stalls after cold startup after throttle blip

    According to the fuse block picture I have (from this site) the engine control fuse should be 20A. The fuse is good, are you getting power to the fuse? Are both of those green wire connectors at the IP plugged onto spades or is one disconnected? It appears that you do not have a fast idle...

    12V Conversion Question

    If you do a 12V conversion follow the roscommon method as it works and is well documented. http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/news_notes/nn10.pdf

    Smoke from GP Relay swap. Will not cycle...

    And the fuses in the fuse block. Which wire arced? Always disconnect the front battery negative post when doing electrical work. Electrons flow from negative to positive so the batteries negatively charge the entire vehicle chassis. When working on wiring it never fails that the positive...

    Engine stalls after cold startup after throttle blip

    I am in the -20 TM. Appendix F, Page F3 Engine Compartment Circuits. There is a fast idle solenoid that has the LT GRN-936B wire running to the cold advance control where the wire LT GRN-936A runs to the cold advance and fast idle temperature switch. Form the temp switch there is the...

    My pump looks different (or you have some things disconnected for better viewing).

    Battery Issues

    My CUCV came from the guard in great mechanical shape. It had (still has) a 6TL up front and it had a DEKA in back. Left it that way for years until a few weeks ago when the DEKA died. I put an interstate group 31 commercial battery in place of the dead DEKA. Since each battery has it's own...
