Have you guys ever heard of or had any luck with "re-energizing the field"? I've been reading that if a generator sits for long periods that it can lose its magnetic charge and has to be reengerized. The jist of it says to take a cord with a male plug an

im hoping to get some time this afternoon to take it off the wall, clean the connections, and remount and pray that I get lucky. New ones are hard to find it seems. Anyone have one laying around? I'm wondering if they can be rebuilt by a shop for a reasonable rate.

Well it seems all signs point to the voltage regulator (AVR100). It seems I read a thread in this site about them not be grounded thru the mounting screws or something like that. Anyone have any tips on saving this voltage regulator before I buy another? Also, are the voltage regulators the same...

So I got the fuel lines back together and it definitely runs smoother. As far as testing different things, I think I'll be better off taking it a gen shop and paying the $60 for them to diag it versus me getting my hands in there to electrocute myself. I can't imagine that with only 2000 hours...

That's really odd. What year were they by chance? I know the 806B is like that. I ordered a whole new line just because this one looked a little worn anyway. I should receive it Thursday.

So I went to John Deere on my lunch break and showed them the pictures. We looked up the schematics and sure enough, there is no flare on the end of the line. The rubber seal basically looks like a small piece of cut fuel line that slides over the steel fuel like and then compresses/clamps/seals...

Yes I had browsed thru that thread. I haven't experience and tried everything listed in it though. In my mind I was thinking a fuel issue so that's what I started with first. In the mentioned thread above, how many o rings for the fuel system have to be replaced and where are they? I started at...

Also, if anyone lives near Yakima, wa and feels like coming to help me troubleshoot, I'll pay lol

So I'll admit from the start, I'm not an electrical guru by any means. I've researched the TM and can't seem to find the issue. The issue I'm having is no hrz or power readout of any kind on the digital screen. Genset is a 2001 with version 1.1 onboard. I tried to excite the field by holding the...

I have a few 1993 MEP-806a's and needing some parts to get them back to FMC. Listed below is what I need: 2 Temp Gauges 1 Panel Starting switch 1 Oil Pressure Gauge 1 Fuel Gauge 2 Exhaust Flappers 1 Control Panel Door/cover 1 Upper Radiator Hose Its my understanding that the gauges are...

So can I trim that silver cap off to replace the rubber line going to the pump and clamp it or do I need a whole new hard line with the rubber hose going to the pump?

So I have a few of the mep-802a gensets and on every one of them I've had to replace the braided low pressure return line. No problem. On one of them though I have this rubber boot with a hole in it squirting fuel. What is this piece called? Also, do I have to buy the metal caps and hardline as...
