I don't actually have a way to run it for any length at full load. If I hook it up to my house and run my house, it won't even reach capacity unless my dryer, well pump, and AC unit were all running at the same time for an extended length of time. The house will exercise it plenty well enough...

I've run it about a dozen times now. I adjusted the voltage knob so I get 120/240v AC perfectly and it is staying at 60 Hz perfectly as well. Every time it works now. I'll hesitantly call this success, although there isn't much left to replace so I'm fairly confident in the repair this time...

Ray70 sold me his CVT1 and CT1 (I asked for both together) as well as his magnets off of the blower wheel. They came in over the weekend and I put the CVT1 and CT1 in the AC output box today. What a pain that was. I was able to slip some heat shrink onto the chewed wire going around the CVT1...

Good point. 0.1 ohms on my leads, which puts the secondary windings in specification. But, now that means CT1 is out of specification...

With the AC Output Box on my work bench, I took readings. I didn't do anything in the AC Control Box today, but here are the results from the AC Output Box: Linear Reactor (NEW) Specification is 13.5 ohms +/- 1.35 ohms Terminals 1/2 - 13.8 ohms GOOD Terminals 3/4 - 13.8 ohms GOOD Terminals 5/6...

OK, back to this, finally. I took the AC output box off of the unit. I've gone back through this thread and I'm about to go outside and test everything you guys have asked me to test so far in this thread. CVT1, CT1, Linear Reactor, A4, T1, T2, etc. etc. etc. Anything I've been asked to...

TB3 is in the AC output box on the right hand side towards the front of the box.

I will do that.

I will re-test the CVT1 and CT1 at some point. Right now I'm in a crunch to finish the popup camper I'm restoring before I take it camping Friday. I also need to replace the exhaust manifolds on my F150 and the entire exhaust system back from there before then.

That's what I thought, but I couldn't find where it said that in the manual this morning.

I have exercised it several times prior to starting this thread thinking that could be it. It moves easily and I haven't touched it since starting this thread.

Well, dang. I only worked 34 hours instead of 48, so when I got home this evening I installed the (tested good) T2 from Ray70. No output voltage, still. Back to the drawing board AKA starting at the beginning of this thread and testing everything again. At this point, I've swapped for a...

I'm getting about 26v AC from the stator. I replaced it with a NOS from Erik's with the same results. I cleaned up the magnets and no change. I may need your magnets, too. They separate from the blower at least.

USPS says there is a delay in the package containing T1 and T2. That stinks because I work Friday/Saturday for 48 hours, I'll be busy all day Sunday with family, and I'm working again Monday for 24 hours. I'm signed up for Tuesday overtime as well, but I might cancel that. So at best, I'll be...

Ray70 is sending me T1 and T2 for a reasonable price. I did reattempt soldering my T2 back together again. I don't think it worked. I replaced the Linear Reactor. What a PITA! The old one actually had the plastic casing breaking apart on it. When I finally had it on the bench, I had an...

Hopefully Ray70 has what I need. Worst case, GMG has a NOS T2 on hand, though a bit pricey.

OK, sorry for the delay and thank you for those helping me along with my slow timeline of working on this. I measured T1. 18.5 ohms on the primary windings and 1.6 ohms on the secondary. In spec. I measured T2. Open on the primary windings, 18.5 ohms on the secondary. Bad. I took apart T2...

I'll try to get to testing the transformers on Thursday when I get home. Are the T1 and T2 transformers the same between MEP-002a's and MEP-003a's in case I need to take Ray70 up on his offer?

I didn't see a procedure for testing them. I did a visual inspection of both and I couldn't find any disconnected little red wires in the transformers from the backs of the screw terminals.

Thank you for the offer, Ray. I did order a linear reactor today. If that doesn't work, I'll take you up on it.
