    No, you deserve MANY thanks for your input and I appreciate it more than you could know. Kind of noticed that this set had been worked on in different places and yes the wiring numbering jumped out at me also....your advice on following the wiring diagrams is duly noted and will be followed...

    Success!!! Success!!!:clinto: This morning I removed the cover over the electrical portion of the set and man was it dusty and GRIT-TY!! There is some light corrosion in places but everything was tight. I sprayed all the connections on the terminal strips to remove the surface dust and dirt...

    It finally arrived, MEP-803a

    Thanks, I'm all about familiarization with any piece of equipment and take any and all input constructively. I'm very visual oriented and can absorb the physical picture of things very readily. I'm many years schooled in electronics and can read schematics. Getting familiar with any piece of...

    It finally arrived, MEP-803a

    I wish I had a paper schematic to look at. My unit is in a trailer presently and viewing the one mounted on the door is difficult. I've not seen a paper schematic yet, that is my next quest for sure. Ok on the AC voltages. Oddly, I went out this morning to spray and exercise the switches again...

    I was out doing just that a while ago. Trying to find the right place to get it into the switches, where would you suggest? Also, I've got 4.51 vac to 5.45 vac at the meter(varies with the voltage adjustment pot). These meter movements are D'arsenval types so they require DC to operate. Unless...

    Excellent! We need to meet up at some point and have a chat. I'll pm you my phone # Are your units in working order? I would definitely have split the fuel bill but mine came from the other direction in Georgia. Maybe in the future, thanks.

    Working on it.:smile: Well the day warmed up a littles so it was off to go buy a couple of batteries and install, check the fluids and air filter. Dead cranked it for about 20 seconds then started it....it fired right up! Some very light blueish smoke(normal for a long sitting diesel) for a...

    It finally arrived, MEP-803a

    Just returned from the pallet mill down the road where I had the generator off loaded from the delivery truck to my trailer. Been waiting for it for a little over a week as I delayed the shipment due to bad weather. Looks better than I thought. Now waiting for a little warmer weather to go...
