    Mep-804a no output. With video

    These are the only two fuses I know of. Pic 2 is hard to see but it has an exposed fuse element

    Mep-804a no output. With video

    I finally got this generator running after replacing S1 but it has no output voltage other that the 6v exciter. No fault lights, and same results when the battle switch is on. Here is a link to a crappy video https://youtu.be/UzrAwGMIK1s

    Artisan, that's good to know. Ray's recently retired and the guy they referred me to seems like a flake

    Issues with SF-97

    I got tired of not hearing anything and called the DLA direct. They were very helpful and researched my delay and called me back within a few hours. Turns out GP isnt exactly telling the truth when it comes up dates. Their # is 877-352-2255 and get the disposition services dept.

    MEP-804 not running

    Update. Thanks to Guyfang helping out a different SS member on his generator, I found that when S1 is in the run position, terminal 3 isn't getting voltage. I jumped 24v to the terminal 3 wire coming off S1 and the engine started and ran in its own. Terminal 3 does get 24v while I the start...

    Issues with SF-97

    I cant even get a SF97. Bought and paid on 12/3/15 and "its in the mail" from what I'm told.

    MEP-804 not running

    Still the same thing. the engine will only stay running if the main switch is held in the start position. It runs great but once I let off switch the engine shuts off. The mag pickup has 750 ohms and I have adjusted AC voltage when using the dead crank switch to 2.7vac. This is with the battle...

    MEP-804 not running

    Frustrated. I can only work on it during the weekend but I am out of ideas. I ordered a new Woodward governor and I am going to install it this weekend. My old HS auto shop teacher always said "Be a mechanic and not a parts changer" because so many guys would just guess at what was wrong instead...

    Just picked up a M35A3 and have a few questions

    Just bought this truck and I love it so far. I had searched and read this forum for all these answers but couldn't come up with them. 1. I know these aren’t race cars but my truck is ungodly slow and I don’t think it would make it up a 6% grade. Has anyone turned up the injector fuel rack...

    M35A3 AIr-O-Matic leak

    Mine had several pin hole leaks in them too. I used to have a couple race cars so I had a bunch of -6 braided hose laying around. I replaced all the hose at the same time. I reused all the old fittings as they are barbed

    MEP-804 not running

    I do have the TM's and page 2-64 and on look like a good place to start. Both freq and volt pots are in spec. I still think the mag pickup is the problem but finding an exact replacement is difficult.

    MEP-804 not running

    Ok I ran the unit today for about 5 min while holding the main switch in the start position. No idiot light with or with out the battle stich on. I tried closing and opening the contactor several times but only have about 25vac. Adjusting the freq knob does raise and lower the rpm slightly...

    MEP-804 not running

    I just bought this unit and it ran but made no voltage. I adjusted the mag pickup and moved the high/low voltage board to the low position. Now the engine will only stay running if the main switch is held in the start position. It runs great but once I let off switch the engine shuts off. The...

    M35A3 SF97 in CA

    GP tell me their inspector was unable to find certain info on my M35A3 data plate so they sent me a request for a SF97. All the fields are missing and my questions are: 1. What should I put for the year? 1990 would make it 25 years old and I might be able to register it as historic? 2...

    foaming power steering fluid and hard to steer

    You might have small cracks in the suction/return line. The hoses might not be wet with no pressure but they could suck air when under a vacuum

    Issues with SF-97

    I bought a M35A3 on 12/2/15, paid on 12/3/15 and picked up on 12/7/15 but I haven't received any paperwork or emails. Do I need to contact GP, or do they contact me 1st?

    mep804a has no output

    Ok thanks. I'll try to cross reference the numbers. I pulled it and it looks great. There were a small amount of metal shavings on the head but not too many. I bottom it out and then backed off 3/4 turn but I had the same results. I turned it in another 1/4 turn and had the same results.

    mep804a has no output

    Ok I'm getting OL for ohms while measuring the mag pickup. I'm bring less than 1vac while using the dead crank. Any idea what the mag pickup pn# could be? Thanks for getting me this far
