    MEP 003 Died

    OK, I found the culprit!!:jumpin: The wire going to the high temp switch was broken inside the insulation about 1 inch from the plug on the harness side. Nothing visible to let me know the wire was broken. I just started going through all of the wires testing continuity while pulling and...

    Update, I have the oil pressure switch and the high temp switch bypassed. I have replaced the start relay and tested the main switch as shown in the TM. Everything is good there. New stator on the DC charging system and it is working right. The DC circuit breaker tested good. This thing still...

    Thanks, I hold the start switch a few seconds after the unit starts to be sure the oil pressure is up then I release it. I tested the oil pressure switch as shown in the TM and it is good. I have the ASK off and while it is off plan to relocate the oil press gauge so it will be visible with the...

    Thanks for the info. You are right about the slave cables, I thought the system would work like the old car/tractor system where it would run and be ok without batteries. I guess that is what I get for thinking. I tested the high temp safety and I know that it is bad. Also tried to run the gen...

    Does anyone have a DC stator for the MEP-003A generator that they will sell? Also I need an over-heat sensor for the engine. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Sarge29

    I tested the output voltage on the stator. I got about 4 volts instead of 35 volts shown in the TM. I did not check the over-heat circuit (did not think about it) but the oil pressure circuit tested good.

    OK, After digging into the TM's I have found that the DC stator is bad. I won't know about the DC regulator until I can get a stator and get it in. What else may have went out because I ran the gen without batteries? I didn't know that running with an open circuit (no batteries) would burn out...

    I did check the fuse for the DC charging system and it was good.

    I was running my generator for an old timers reunion for my old NG unit when it just shut down. I restarted it and as soon as I released the start switch after holding it long enough for the oil pressure to build up it shuts down every time. I checked the oil pressure switch and it is good. A...
