Correct! They were a PITA. As I have never seen a head crack, nor a block crack in the 004-005 family, I would bet its the gasket. Its an easy job. Top off. Doors off. You are half done. Do remove the Neg. battery terminal. Drop a tool in the wrong place, it can be another exciting day...

Head gasket if you are lucky. If not, well, head or block. take your pick.

Take the old battery alternator apart. Of give it to someone who is into this sort of thing. There is a blocking diode in it, that goes bad, and then the battery's drain off, through the alternator.

The meter looks unhealthy any way way. Take the tiny screws out and look inside. Cant hurt.

The meters have always been hard to get. Back in the 70's we could get them without a problem. Then, because they are supposed to be matched set, the Army anyway, stopped procuring the meter and transducer separately. The reason they are a matched set is because the transducer/meter was hooked...

I think, and this is something from 30 years ago, and my memory is not what it used to be, but think the resistance of the meter is supposed to be 24 Kilo ohms. So where did you get the transducer? There are two matched sets in fleebay. The meters stopped being issued separate from the...

Yeah, it matters what side is AC, (input) and what side is DC, (output). But the 120 doesn't matter how its hooked up to the input side. And the + and - from the transducer to the meter do also matter.

I also found a transducer and meter in the big auction site for 149 dollars. According to the TM, the meter and transducer are a matched set. They should only be changed as a set. Its crap, as we did change them separately all the time. But at some point in time, the Army simply stopped stocking...

I did hook 120 from household to the AC input terminals of the transducer my meter still did not work and that’s where I’m at at this time The freq transducer is probably bad. Sadly, the TM tells you to just try another meter to check if the meter works. I will write someone I know and ask him...

Is this gen set new to you? Have you ever seen it run right? Have you all the TM's to troubleshoot and repair the gen set? There is a blocking diode in the alternator that is bad. Very common fault for this alternator. If you feel like you can do that kinda of work, try it. Have you looked at...
