The military makes the whole set very complicated in an effort to "keep it simple". In the commercial realm almost all of those relays and wiring are replaced with one digital generator controller and 3-4 standard double pole relays. I am in the process of doing just that to a mep802 I have...

The two relays in the back are the glow plugs, and the starter relay. When you turn the key to start the clicking you hear would be the starter relay.

My thought was to abandon the quad winding and use 4 wire standard auto voltage regulator.. I have them in 5,8,10,20amp current capacities for the field. It would not be as robust as the current design but I'd imagine it would work just fine. I think the regulator I have works as it does make...

I was trying to bench test the AVR from a unit that had the control wiring catch on fire. I did the old light bulb test, and used a variac to change the voltage input to the quad terminals (7,8, ) and ran constant 120v to the power terminals. I was able to see the AVR vary the field current...
