Intresting. I checked the J6 and it looked okay, but didn't think about if the connector pins were loose. Maybe my hitting the unit made it make better contact? Good tip and it's a fairly easy check.

It's working for now, so I am going to focus on the other issues with the unit. I have a spare that I need to test as well.

In my case, there never was an open. Everything tested as it should have. It makes no sense really. I don't know what else could interfear with it's operation as I'm not sure exactly how it does, what it does. Maybe chunks of rust stuck to the windings?

This is great information. Thanks for this! I bet something inside is corroded on mine & hitting it made it adjust enough to start getting the connection/readings as it should again.

Guyfang, you are the most experienced I know on here with the generators... have you experience when I have above? Do you think my symptom was internal and my hitting it is what got it going, or by chance that just jolted something somewhere else? I really traced EVERY wire in a diagram & the...

Thank you for the explanation. From what you said, what I know, and what the wire diagram shows, it makes very clear sense to me now on exactly what it is doing, and how it is doing it. Side note... just by luck, I found a complete paper set of TM's on top of the dumpster today that came in...

In all fairness, it was only right outside of my garage, haha. I just had other projects inside. But, not that the top is off I had to make room as I didn't want it getting rain and stuff in there. It's dusty but doesn't look like it really got wet in there so far. But yeah, inside work is...

You'd be supersized how many times a rubber mallet has loosened things up that were stuck on equipment that has sat, but I get your point. I don't quite understand how the CT works, and am not sure if it has anything that moves on the inside... that is why I thought of it. Had contactors not...

So, I opened up the top to take a look. I was incorrect about it not being removed before, got it mixed it up with the other one I had worked on (to many different projects going on at once). With that said, there is nothing obvious to me that was changed or messed with on this side. Just dusty...

I have not opened up the back yet to look but that makes perfect sense. I'll need to pull the top off and look back there to see if it's the issue. It didn't look at first glance that it was pulled off but that doesn't mean it wasn't.

Everyone, I normally keep my troubleshooting issues on one thread for one machine, but I searched a bunch, tried a bunch on my own, and have hit a dead end. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-802a-fix-up-thread-3-0.212213/ The search function doesn't work well, so forgive me if...
