My M1010 will start and I use a dead head relay and have checked all glow plugs so it must be a fuel issue. Engine cranks for 10 plus second before it fires. My M1031 would fire right away - hardly cranked at all. Should I be concerned? Truck runs great but seems to crank longer and slower...

A couple options - run a belt and calculate the timing of the gears but that means running a belt off the output shaft or flywheel of the engine and then mounting securely the generator - other option would be a universal joint but not sure that at 1800 rpm what type of universal joint would be...

Picked up a nice set of 2007 Chevy 3/4 ton mags with hub caps that use plastic bolts over the lug nuts. Problem is the 3/4 ton lug nuts don't work on the M1010 - so where do you find the right lug nuts to use these nice hub caps or is that not an option. I've not checked if they fit over from...

I can highly recommend the Atkinson Generator Start Control Module for off grid homes and genset automation. The PLC learning curve will be steep though they are good tools, the GSCM comes with diagrams for many typical generators and inverters (Outback, Trace, Xantrax, etc.) Generator...

Can you explain why? I want to nail it down before surgery, just like I'd want my doctor to do;)

The CVT? Interesting - any idea why? I'm speculating that maybe the voltage regulator uses some current flow measurement to stop excitation. Just trying to get the theory and diagnosis down "before cutting and drilling..." I read about the "linear reactor" and wondered that that was for

New thread to detail the voltage regulation process from DC excitation to regulation. Current issue with MEP-002 I am working on to troubleshoot. 1. Upon starting the engine - DC excitation happens and voltage with Start position (so DC voltage is working to start the electromagnetic process)...

wciguy - Can you tell us the source for your 20hp rating? Seems small - the mil surplus reverse osmosis machine I stripped down had a 20hp pump and was mounted with an MEP-005. Though if you do the basic math - 60,000 watts divided by 746 watts per horsepower = 80HP and electrical output of...

Ok, we measured voltage to the sender on the trans - it was 24 volts, voltage to water temp sender was 15.6. So either they are different senders or there is a wiring issue. I'll get the IR gun - good idea. Hands can be put on trans when hot but just for short time. After several tries the...

Ok, we took the M944A1 our Friday (been sitting about one year) and ran the generator for awhile and the big cooling fan kicked on a couple times. Then we noticed the transmission temperature gauge was pinned at 325! Today (Sunday) we took it out for a drive and same transmission temp reading...

Any push an MEP-006 to see how many horsepower water pump one will start?

Gentlemen, it may be time to remind those interested in single phase conversions that they in fact substantially reducing the generators value and efficiency. Losing 1/3 of the generators output capacity and increasing full usage per load by 1/3. Bottom line - converting a commercial grade...

So how would you play this? I'm pissed off, wasted a lot of time doing analysis, determining and writing up options for the customer, I even started working on a replacement generator. So first off I can punish the customer for hiring incompetents by telling them they will need to pay but I also...

Ok, customer brought the unit in today - showed me the stator inspection cover and the "copper" showing on the winding. I said that that looked ok and that a burnt stator would show smoke and smudge. So I won't announce yet the generator repair guy who charged these customer $600 to tell them...

First military generator I've sold to get returned - customer tells me he moved voltage board to run a 480 pump and the stator and voltage regulator burned up. Wants his money back....unfortunately I've already restocked my inventory, so I really want to find out how and why this happened. I...

Good except it won't help us without a pump bench - which of course none of us have. Thanks Munchies but is there not an installed way to test the response of the governor to loads applied to the generator? Many of us do have load testers so I can vary load from 12-50kw and I can measure...

Question: how to tune the mechanical governor build into the injection pumps on the various generators - MEP-004, MEP-004 and MEP-006 among others I'd expect. Under load the weight move slower and the injection pump has two mechanism to hold RPM - the weighted mechanical governor and the auto...

Ok, I think I answered my own query: 15kW/30kW/60kW Main Contactor Assembly Part #: B301EA Part #: 70-501-1 NSN: 5945-00-007-1147 Confirmations?

Ok, I need to replace a main contactor so two things would help. the complete assembly part number and of course someone willing to sell me one. Checking the parts manual I get all the break down in detail of the all the little parts but I just want to buy a complete and working assembly. Do...

Couple thoughts and a request for parts: 1. I need an MEP-004 voltage regulator here in CA. Please email if you are parting to have parts machines. 2. I need a speed switch for an MEP-006 - anyone know if the speed switch on the MEP-004, 005 and 006 are the same? I'll be converting my MEP-004...
