    MEP-005a Generator not putting out any power

    Wow resurrected this thread from the grave. Well as far as not being able to excite the field due to the stater engaging after the set is running makes me think there is clearly a problem with your engine speed lock out switch. So if ya look on the left side of the engine you will see this...

    MEP-501 fuel pump seized.

    wow I would have never expected that either. So maybe I am just naive but what happened? WE have 2 1000 gallon diesel tanks on the vineyard and fuel sits in them for easily 1 -2 years between refueling and fuel in the tanks always seems fine. So you had diesel sitting in the injection pump...

    MEP802 alternator and pulley missing

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    I think I recall an old thread that you posted in Guy mentioning that the vibrations many times burned up the reed switches inside the float switch in either the closed or open state and it being a major headache. Did the army ever get this problem addressed or just replace them with new...
