Hello, We have an MEP-009b. All was good but for awhile until one day it would not start using the start switch. However, if I jumped the starter it would start and run as it should. I found the relay/circuit breaker hot in the governor adjustment box and the speed switch on injector pump was...

Thank you. I found some already but I will keep you in mind if I need anything else. The truck was damaged in the transport to my location so I know I will need something else sooner than later. Jim

I looked there and no luck. Thanks though.

Hi, We just received an M1078a1. The axle shafts were removed for towing and are not with the truck. Does anyone know if the axle shafts for the M1078 and M1078A1 are the same? Thanks. Jim

Hello, I read the other thread about this same issue but I do not believe it is my ECM. Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this engine to rule it out or the sensors or the pump? Thanks in advance for your time Jim

That's awesome. I see how it comes apart now. Now to find the parts I need to resurrect this generator. Thanks!!

Hi, My 805B 30KW is finally starting but my field will not flash. After troubleshooting I found my exciter stator and rotor windings have separated. It looks as if they were stuck together because of water or frozen water and somebody tried to start the generator and boom they came apart. The...

Hi, I have my generator finally starting. Ended up being the Governor. Thanks for all your help!! I have another issue but I will start a new thread.

Yes. I disconnected batteries several times. Batteries are full charge. I am aware of usable on codes. In a past life I was a motor sergeant and thought I got away from this stuff but here I am 20 years after I retired playing around with used military generators that were not even in the...

Good Morning, Attached is an image of the governor label. Little blurry but readable.

Yes I did do that. I will try again. Can the I/O module have anything to do with this?

None of the rheostats are on 0. I did check continuity not for resistance there on wires to actuator from P5.

I did adjust the mag pickup and that is lighting on the speed control when I crank now. DC power is on and the speed sensor light is on when I crank. Nothing else.

I have the cubicle off and have removed, cleaned, and tightened all connections, backplane, and terminals.

No it does not. As soon as I remove the hot wire it dies. I checked ohms and actuator is okay. I do not have required voltage at the white wire while cranking to supply the actuator and adjust speed accordingly.

No, just making sure I read everything correctly. I have no voltage on cranking. I know I have continuity through everything that should from pin to terminal ends. Screens work as should. Overpeed light lights and resets. Faults clear and starting procedure is correct as indicated to me in the...

Hi, Thanks. I have done that. On my pigtail to the actuator which wire should be hot when cranking to actuate and start and then holdout?

Good morning, I adjusted to 3 volts with my Fluke meter. The speed sensor light on the governor is now flashing while cranking. No actuator light. Jim

Okie dokie!! I’ll reset it tomorrow and see what happens and I’ll report back. I would love to get this working. Out of 10 surplus generators this one is the only problem we are having getting started. Thanks for the assist!! Jim

Hi, I have 2 volts AC. TM states 1.5 but I read somewhere 2 volts was better. Thanks
