mep wont start dead crank dosent work ,clicking of relays no start HELP
Look at this wire diagram. There is nothing between the S10-1 and the K2-X1. So if it will not turn over with the S10, Check S10-2 for 24 VDC. If nothing is there, Check CR1. see if you have 24 VDC on the input side, and output side. If not CR1 is bad.

Look at S10. There are three wires on it. In the diagram above it is shown in the OFF position. It is a three position switch. When you want to crank the engine over, you turn the switch to the crank position. That makes the contact between position 2 & 1 on the switch. Power comes from position 2, through position 1 on the switch, causing the K2, (Starter Relay) to close. That turns the starter over. So, back to S10. Position 2 should have the wire # 120A hooked to it. Using a multimeter, measure from a good ground, to wire # 120A. Do you have 24 VDC there?Look at this wire diagram.

Is this gen set new to you?
Have you ever seen it run right?
Can you use a multimeter?
Can you read and follow the wire diagram?
Batteries dead?
