Did you try holding the start switch up for 10 to 20 seconds? - should energize the field and get the generator to start producing voltage...

Well - I took the meter and the transducer out of the control cubical and made a little rig to run it off shore power and tuned the meter to show 60 Hz along with the fluke... Everything back installed and run - the set now hits 60 Hz right along with the fluke so that issue is solved... Only...

Latest Update - ran the set today with the fluke meter to set the voltage and hertz to 240v and 60 Hz (off the main buss with the breaker shut) I was able to adjust the instrument panel voltage meter to read in sync with the fluke by using the slotted cam screw on the face of the meter - so the...

Ok - that sounds good - I'll see what I can come up with for adjustments - so what is the story with the frequency adjustment knob if it really doesn't make any adjustment to the engine RPM and generator frequency output? Also what would be a good droop setting to start with - I gather the...

Good news and an interesting twist... So I went to test the governor arm and while fiddling around with everything connected to the injection pump I unscrewed the knurled knob that sits parallel to the injector head piece and right next to the fuel inlet (anyone know for sure what this...

I will check out the fuel flow tomorrow which might be the issue since it took me quite a while to bleed out the system to get fuel to the injection pump. You mention the governor arm on the outboard side of the injection pump - currently mine has a section of twisted stainless steel safety...

Ok - so the numbers I had provided earlier were off the set instrumentation - with the test meter on the convenience outlet I am getting the following: 106 - 110v depending on the position of the voltage adjustment knob (95v at idle) and then the kicker - I am only reading 36 - 37 Hz... The...

Hey guys - thanks for the quick attention - I have a fluke 187 at my disposal so I should be able to verify the voltage and hertz without issue - I was taking the readings off the gauge panel with the throttle control pulled all the way out so the set was at the maximum RPM that can be developed...

Hey guys this may well be better served with a seperate thead but figured I would start here for a little advice: I have a MEP-005a S/N KZ04624 that I just recently got running for the first time; it took a little bit of work to bleed out the fuel system and finally get it to fire but now it...
