    MEP-804A cranks and starts, but does not stay running.

    Has this generator produced proper power for you in the past? Or are you troubleshooting a "new to you" generator? The 3 AMP Fuse MWO simply adds a fuse in one of the leads from the A1 AC Voltage Regulator to the Static Exciter inside the Gen Head. It's purpose is to protect the gen head from...

    INI Power Systems IG1000-ICMF Portable Generator Set

    The circular connector will have a part number on it. Might need to get to the back of the connector to see the PN. Yes, one could likely swap out the circuit connector and wire up a conventional 120 outlet and mount it somehow. They did make some models similar to that with normal 120 outlets...

    MEP-1050 Fault Code 3665

    Ignore those diagrams I posted. Unfortunately the 1050 -24 TM publicly available is loaded with errors. The diagrams I had posted from the 1050 TM are incorrect. Seems they hastily put together that TM version and included 1030/1030 diagrams and not 1050 diagrams. The 1050's output is changed...

    MEP-1050 Fault Code 3665

    The Maintenance and Repair TM 9-6115-751-24&P has information both of those faults. See below... The A2 board has the DIP switches (S1) on it to set the engine model ID. The DCS reads the DIP switch to know what configuration the generator is.

    803a Gen gauge illumination

    The generators DC electrical system is 24 volts. You can get switched 24 panel light power from DS1, DS2, or DS3 terminal 1. S2 is the panel lamp power switch.

    Mep 803a No/Low Low Power Output

    Don't cut any wires yet. You need to do some more measurements to isolate where the problem really is. Based on your reported measurements there is an issue with voltage making it from A1 to the two Find 10 terminals. What needs to be done are some continuity measurements on the wiring between...

    Mep 803a No/Low Low Power Output

    Your DMM is actually displaying 76,300 ohms (7.6 KOhms) P5 and J5 connect together. J5 is bolted to the floor of the compartment behind the gauges. A small black connector with 4 wires.. P5 plugs into J5 behind the right access door. P5 also has 4 wires. Do you know how to decipher the -24...

    Mep 803a No/Low Low Power Output

    The resistance should be the same 12.2 at 10 Terminal block AND across the two wires behind the gauge panel. Your 50-60 ohms indicates a poor connection between 10 and one or both of those wires. I mentioned to check, inspect, clean the P4/J4 connector pins in post #12. Did you do that?

    Mep 803a No/Low Low Power Output

    Don't jump to that conclusion yet. What you need to do is test the resistance of the static exciter to determine if it's good or not. To do that: 1) Disconnect the leads going to A1 terminals 5 & 6. 2) Measure the resistance between the two leads removed from A1 terminals 5 & 6. It ought to be...

    Mep 803a No/Low Low Power Output

    More info on locations to check at the gen head. Find 10 is the little terminal clock the exciter wire lugs Find 12 get hooked it. Not shown are the external exciter wires that enter the gen head hooked to Find 10. Item 10 should have 4 wires connected to it. Also check the connections of Finds...

    Mep 803a No/Low Low Power Output

    For now don't bother with tests of K1. First thing is to get the set producing power to the outlet when the set is running and you hold S1 in START. This is when the set should be flashing the generator. In your first post you indicated you had 21 volts at A1 terminals 5 and 6. 1) Was that the...

    803A Hits a Wall at 9.3kW

    False overloads are almost always due to corroded contacts inside the S6 and/or S8 switches. A common issue with the 802's and 803's. Countless threads on here about owners having the same issue. The current from the CT's to the Burden Resistors and the %Load meter flow through S6 & S8. If...

    Need Help with my 802A ….

    The high pressure line from the IP is flared. Simply tighten the nut if that's what's leaking.

    Need Help with my 802A ….

    To me it looks like an issue with the connection of the braided fuel return line. It's all frayed.

    MEP 802 belly panel

    Speaking of the battery crossover cable be sure it's not chaffing on the engine. I found mine was chaffed about halfway through the insulation.
