this is bypassing the AVR by supplying current straight to the field. If it makes power this way the AVR may be bad (or there isnt enough magnetism to start the reaction(thats the ideal thing as the fix is a jump start and heavy load)) In the rotor assembly there is a set of diodes that...

I was just thinking diodes may need tested. Hopefully they aren't too badly burried Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Thats rated at 80 VDC 6 amps. so might have to go higher with the voltage. The battery draw is .25 amp? mathematically it should be 5 times that.

hard to say, looking at the specs of the AVR and it is rated at 5 amps I dont think a 9 volt battery can deliver that kind of current

Ok lets go for 3 batteries, Just to confirm, you do have the engine running correct?

correct any time

you can tap longer or take a 2nd 9v and series them together and try again idea is to start low and slow and go higher as needed dont wanna burn anything

correct (engine needs to be running btw)

The windings are a believable resistance ( tm should have the acceptable values) voltage is way too low to get the head going. * how generators work A rotating magnet induces a current. we use an electromagnet to replace a permanent magnet. this way the voltage can be adjusted by...

if it is relying on residual magnetism ( again I have never touched this specific unit) you may be able to flash it to get it going. had this happen to a generator at work, fresh rewind, it didnt have enough magnetism to get the reaction going. My boss thought i was crazy for requesting a...

Looks like theres 2 excitation windings yellow blue and red red start wiyh the yellow blue pair and see if theres ever power on startup there. If its just a flash circuit it may only be present for a brief amount of time. I would alos check winding continuity. disconnect from the...

Good afternoon, sounds like you have the operating manual might need to find the maintenance manual. I have never worked on this specific unit but I can offer some basic things to look at. First is field. If the head isnt getting excitatition it wont produce power. I would look there...

there may be an off the shelf option, I did something similar for a 005

Very low tech, very reliable and fun to stare at

I had to replace the frequency meter on my 003 and because I think they are cool looking and I was unsupervised it got a reed style meter

It should be line voltage. the Voltmeter (M5) is powered from generator output through switch S8 See TM 5-6115-585-12 page 53 for the diagram. if you dont have the TMs look up on the website header click the TM button and look for the post on mep003. Heres a very distinct possibility...

Difference being, AA supports you in your quest to quit drinking, here we would encourage one another to buy another MEP

are you sure the CB is good? It's rare but I have had it happen before. Fast and dirty test: get a fuseholder and 7.5 amp automotive fuse and jump the cb (make sure the cb is in the open position) fuse blows you have a short somewhere it doesn't blow and you have a bad cb.

I got my home generator right after a 9 day outage from hurricane Irma. Before that it seemed like every time the local squirrel population would expel flatulence the power would go out. Since install we have only had a couple of outages and they weren't any longer than a few hours. It's...

they always start with one. For me it was a 004, which is now fully automated (HEY i was left unsupervised). That turned into sourcing one for a friend. then when covid hit I came across a 003 cheap. Now i have another friend wanting a set so back to the auctions I go.
