Mine are all numbered with the T designations. I just didn't understand the RSTN or what it designated, it makes a lot more sense now. I understand enough about the 12 wire to be able to change the voltages on the reconnection board, but when multiple schemes for naming things come up it is not...

I have little or no info on this head. Everywhere that I have posted, including here, gets little or no response. The alternator is a 12 wire on a 15kw Air Force generator built in 1967. It has the Hercules 198 diesel. It is a 50-60 hertz generator, not the 400hertz model. It actually runs and...

I just got an Sx460 AVR for my MB-19. The wiring diagram leaves a bit to be desired, and refers you to the generator wiring diagram, which I don't have. Essentially I a scrapping the old AF stuff, as the operation is intermittent at best. So it looks like I simply connect fx to the positive...

Next step would be to do a dry compression test, then a wet (oil) compression test to determine the shape of the rings, and then do a cylinder leak down test to determine the shape of the valves.

I did not catch that they were new heads. Tom says the sx460 works well on these, and I am sure that whatever is in your is similar. I am considering using the same GTR 116 and MFD10 setup. It looks easy to operate, somewhat easy to install and it doesn't look so high end that it would grow legs...

You will likely have to crank it for a bit and bleed the injector lines before it will start.

HarleyD, I have been chatting with Tom about my generator ,MB-19, and you are right, super sharp guy, and very nice to deal with. I have been trying to decide how to approach mine. I was curious about the second genny you did. Does that control panel also require the relay package that the first...

I have one. The few threads on them are on Smokstak. There is an mb-16 manual available on google books for free. It covers most of what you need for repair, except that motor is a 6 cylinder.

I am considering selling my MB-19 generator. I was originally going to use it up at my cabin, but at 5kw it is just too big a generator for my needs. How does one go about selling this type of equipment? what does a low hours 15kw diesel generator usually bring? Thanks,

To find the balance point just pick it up and set it down on a piece of pipe, 1" or so, roll it back and forth until it balances.
