Finally got MEP004A #2 up & running, but it has a few problems. Many gauges are intermittent (Describe intermittent) (which could be from the long time sitting), and NO warning/test lights at all. (Did you chect the fuse? Test it dont just look at it.If the fuse is good, I will tell you how to...

Find CB1. Its on the control panel end. Open the right side door and measure at CB1 and see if you have 24 volts on the input pin, and pull out CB1, push it back in, and see if the voltage is on the other pin. If so, then open the control panel. Find the R13 shunt and see if voltage is there. If...

Well, the IP mounting plate is set up for both Horizontal and vertical. I have never seen vertical mounted IP's, on 15 or 30 KW's. I asked someone still in the biz, if he had. Nope. He told me the white engine never changed, during its military life. And if it had changed, the studs would be the...

There is a data plate on the gen set door, that has a diagram of the fuel system. The fitting on the left side should be the AUX fuel fitting. The fitting on the right should be the fitting that allows you to pump fuel out of the belly tank. All this his info is in the -12 manual, PDF reader...

I think this is SET position.

No, not dumb. There is supposed to be a data plate right under, or above the handle. Is it painted over? Hope so, but if not, here we go. I am trying to remember, but its been about 35 years ago that I actually looked at the data plate, but, UP is, (should be) AUX. MIDDLE is, (Should be) SET...

Look at the schematic. It not a hard circuit. Pull out the SP/ relay box. It's just a few C-plugs and a few,maybe six bolts. Remove the start relay and test it. It sounds like it's stuck. If the relay is good, then you need to start going through the circuit.

No idea. I saw it lots in the DRMO and CAN Point. Assume it's because when they ship them, you have to remove POL products. Mostly the parts were inside, under the main AC, or in the stupid OVM box, on the left side

I like the 15 and 30 KW's. They are a good, dependable gen set. The white engine is a workhorse. I worked this gen set a long time, and found the engine to simply great. Problems like your fuel in the oil, are very rare. About the only complaint I had was some of the white engines had been...

Roger, good place to start. Run the set 10-15 min, then drop the oil out. My first IP job had to be redone 3-4 times before I had it right. would have gone better if I had read the book.

99.9% of the time, when you have oil and fuel mixed in the crankcase, its the double flange on the drive shaft for the IP. If you look at figure 72, item 14, that's the problem. And if you have never seen the seals on the shaft, the picture is very misleading. It doesn't show the seals on the...

Then get into the -12 and -34 books and print out what you need. Another hint is that most components on the set, (electrical components) will have the name of the component or an ID form, like S8, or A5 printed next to them on the bulkheads and sides. I would remove the terminal shields on...

On the doors to the gen set, (and in the TM's) are wire diagrams and schematics. All the components are listed there. DS6, (power out circuit breaker ON light) for instance is the light that turns on when the CB2, (AC output circuit breaker) closes and sends voltage to the load terminals. S8 is...

In what position is your S8 switch? 200 volts can be right, when its in the right position. The only way your DS6 can light up, is if CB2 is energized. If CB2 is energized, and you have no volts at the load terminals, your CB2 is defective.

Not good. That is the Special Relay Box, (S/P Relay Box). There are many goodies in there. See if you can find the wire, or wires that got hot. Will probably be a ground. But we need to know where to look for the problem. If the starter still engages, you need to see if the starter relay is...

Look into the TM and find out what box your talking about. Or at least take a picture of it so we can tell you. There is a part number on each box, you can look it up in the parts index in the back of the parts manual.

Did the folks who fixed your IP bother to read the -34 manual? If they had, the RPM setting would have been right the first time. Please tell us what your starter problem is again. And explain what the set will and will NOT do.

This is how your IP should look. Notice how the linkage plate on the side of the IP is wired to the front? That allows the linkage that is attached to the throttle cable, to control the IP. Thank GDG111 for the pictures.

Here is the schematic. It is found on a plate on your gen set door, in the -12 and -34 TM's. K3 controls starter operation, but several other relays have to be energized for K3 to work. K3 could have its contacts welded shut.
