That was it! I just need to adjust voltage tomorrow. I will then do the single phase conversion. Thanks to everyone so much!

I cranked the unit and had only like .6 volts show up on my multimeter. I then pressed the button, saw the relay close, for around 3 seconds and nothing. I then checked the wiring diagram again and seems we have everything correct except looking at the pictures in previous posts there are 2...

I tested as far as according to the regulator manual turn both pots counterclockwise as far as they would go and briefly started the unit just to make sure nothing sparked, smoked or started fire! 😁 it has passed that test, but thought maybe hertz would register. I will tape those ends up...

I have wired up and installed the voltage regulator but have not tried it yet and was hoping if someone could check it out please. I did start the unit to see if the hertz meter would come up and it wouldn't. So I then tapped on it without the unit running and it slowly moved around and settled...

Thanks so much for all the great input! I have already ordered the ADVR 054 and have these items in my Amazon cart. 1- 50 ohm 100 watt resistor 2- KUP-11A55-24 relay 3- 12 ohm 500 watt resistor 4- 1N5408 Rectifier Diode 3A 1000V I see the relay is sitting on top of a black fixture. Can...

Thanks! I plan on doing the single phase conversion after I get it up and running. Will this still work in single phase or will anything need to be changed?

So I have downloaded al the TM's for my unit and did a search for changing out the VR and seems like this thread is what I came up with...

If you could give me the parts I need and some sort of schematic I can probably swing it as I have a friend that is an electrical engineer. At least we could give it a good try!

Thanks, much appreciated!

Ok, what is the best way to do the retrofit? Can you suggest a part and are there any videos on what to do?

Oh boy, this sounds fun! What would be the best option for a farmer, keeping in mind that a farmer is a jack of all trades but master of none. 😉😁

Gotcha, is there a replacement available?

Thanks Guys! So after it started I let up on the starter switch and then put it back up to the start position and the volts did come up but as soon as I let go of the switch they went down to 0.

Actually the manual is still with the unit and I was going to start looking through it soon. And thanks for the filter numbers bro! I will try the starter switch and see if that gets anything happening and if not I'll see if there is any voltage on the line side of the contactor. I'm assuming...

Hello, I just purchased a mep-005a with an acoustic suppression kit in fairly good shape. Engine is a 1980 with 1450 hrs and runs fine. The ASK tag says it is from 1991. When would this unit have been put in service? The generator side of it needs some work. The guy I got it from thought the...
