I...am jealous. That is one good looking generator. I would love to have one of those in my fleet.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
JBK,thier was a bullitin on the 5 and 10 kw tqg sent to all services a few years back. i have it stored somewhere just couldnt find it tonight. the problem was with the a1 bridge rectifier circut. if the gen. is held in the start position to long voltages can peak at over 400 vac across the quad winding circuit. this can cause the diodes to short wrecking the voltage regulator and stator. the fix is a fuse 3 amp. 250 vac slow blow. install the fuse between terminal 8 of the a1 voltage rectifier and the q1 quad winding circuit. easy fix dont know if the problem was corrected in later generators. found the document

This thread is concerning the MEP-803a, not the MEP-003a. So to answer your question, NO it would not apply!Does this apply to the MEP-002As as well?
I am curious?
The fuse mod mentioned is for just the mep802a?
I just got a mep803a TQG and from what I read it has a crank sensor to detect engine speed and a preset point and disengages the starter?
I also have a problem where the CB1 breaker pops as soon as yo turn the master switch from off to prime then start.
The maint. crank switch works and I can crank it and set back to normal.
I read it is for the "DC" circuits and need to know which ones are those?
I have a "manual" I downloaded and it is basically a operation and maint. manual; not a service one that would show a genset tear down and repair.
The motor like like it is new? Fresh paint and all shiny on it. No rust on the genhead etc..View attachment 455058View attachment 455059View attachment 455060View attachment 455061View attachment 455062View attachment 455063View attachment 455064
Thanks will make the mod.Fuse mod is for the 803A as well as the 802A. Highly recommend it to avoid having to replace the generator end due to control overload. Easy mod.
