Hello Chainbreaker. Sorry for delayed response. I have family in Panama City, FL and am busy helping with hurricane relief. The horse mat is the perfect solution as a vibration isolation between the genset and the trailer I am mounting it on. Tractor Supply sells the 3/4" thick ones for...
Guyfang, Yes, but . . . I am thinking about 4'x8' panels sided with acoustic foam (rigid or otherwise) that is located between the genset and where people are (50' - 100' away). After reviewing the ASK threads, while ASK is probably the most effective noise reduction technique: 1) the panels...
All, I do agree that the flashing circuit is still suspect. I will note that when I applied the 9V to the genset the digital gages lit up allowing me to see that the frequency was not 60 (engine speed below 1800). Adjusting to proper rpm may be a factor.
NOW, who has a recommendation for...
This afternoon I tested profo's 9V flash test (see post #13). It worked.
Thanks to all that contributed. I am still low on the learning curve, but without your suggestions I would still be in the weeds.
Best regards.
MEP 003A, Engine Runs, No Voltage
The MEP 003a I have was refurbished by JimC and includes a replacement of the analog gauges with digital. I do hold the switch at start for at least 10 seconds. At no time do the gauges show anything. Since I replaced the VR board, the main suspects are the...
Hello profo (Marty). New rotor / diodes / bearings for $100. Done!! Hope you take Paypal. Contact: mobilefloyd@yahoo.com (Larry)
Triple Jim. I scratched around in my tools and came up with a Fluke 1587. I'll test with it and report back on results.
To Chainbreaker: I noted on receipt of the unit that this switch was resistant to turning. I'll exercise the switch per your recommendation. I failed to mention that I am not getting power at the control box -- would this switch effect this as well?
To Buyfank: I performed the check per the...
Hello TripleJim,
Thank you again for the Mouser part numbers -- you saved me money and time. The other sources were more expensive and were on backorder. Also thank you for a more detail on diode testing than is in the TM.
Hello All,
Brand new to the forum. Last month I got an MEP 003A off ebay that was guaranteed to work. It didn't. The cost to return the unit od prohibitive. So it is no my problem.
I running down the diagnostic found on page 2-9 of TM5-6115-585-34 while praying that this is not an open...
