    MEP 1030A

    Have you tested the Exciter Stator resistance to be sure it's good? TM says it should be about 12 ohms. Have you measured the DC voltage going to the Exciter Stator while the genset is flashing the gen head to verify the DCS is sending the flashing voltage? If you do see a flashing voltage to...

    Auxilary fuel pump force on

    The connection between the A9 and the float switch is done with a 4 pin Molex connector. To do the mod without cutting any wire could be done by building a little adapter like with a male and female Molex connector to tap into the FL2 circuit. Something like this...
