New to me. Just never ran it, even on the video at the GOV auction they were holding the start switch so I believe it had a blown fuse from the start.
I ran it for an hour today with no issues.
Finally got around to working on my MEP 804A, been reading the TMs and all threads dealing with these.
I may juts not be the smartest guy, but I know some of you are.
Starts and runs fine. If I hold it in start position it does in fact produce electricity. As soon as I release from start it...
I am having a similar problem.
If I do hold the master switch at start position I do get power.
When I release it to prime and run, I lose all power.
Any suggestions?
I will get all the info for straps.
tge shorter grey one is a military hoist strap for Naval Special warfare MEATS ( maritime extraction) we used them on our NSW boats. The team has tons of them that expire and are tossed. I can try to get more.
Update to post from last night. I will do a complete write up to include tools needed, improvisation used and give credit to all the heroes who can together to help make this happen.

On another note, I am going to be here until...

I have them the serial number and he said it was shipped without starter and therefore doesn’t know what to do.
I asked if any CAT24v starter for the C7 would work and he said no.
Anyone have a starter for a C7 close to Ann Arbor Michigan?
I am sitting on the side of the road and need to either find a starter or be towed from this location.
Let me know as I have already disassembled the starter and found that it needs a new spindle and bearing on end.
Yes running 53” run flats.
The hitch is a B&W drop in that I welded together. I have a few more if you need one.
I also welded a gooseneck ball receiver to my 5th wheel plate so that it’s unique setup. It makes it harder to steal too.
Everything rides great and I have put 18,000 miles on the...
I grabbed the schematics, multi meter and a few plugs and made an adaptor.
I ran line from cab to rear bumper for the the electric brakes a day wired the controller independently so I can over ride the trailer brakes if needed. Honestly don’t really use them much.
