Hi I have three mep 002s and two are down for fuel pump problems the third is running but not making electricity properly. These three gen sets aren’t self exciting the stator as they did originally so I wired a push button switch to the stator to momentarily exciting them then they worked fine. The one that’s running I have to keep 24 volts to the positive side of the stator wire constantly for it to make power it just started acting weird this am and has been running for several hours this way and hasn’t burnt up yet. I know a lot of car alternators need to have constant voltage to the stator to get them charging. Any idea what might be causing my problem ?
I’m sending in the stator from another 002 to be tested along with the diode card from the mep 002 I just received that has a bad fuel pump.
My third mep was running perfectly and making good electrical power but the fuel pump broke something inside it. I have another pump en route from delks so don’t want to molest a machine that was working fine orior to the fuel pump
Problem. Thx in advance for any help diagnosing my problem. Or do you think it will be fine to continually excite the stator to keep it making power. Thx again, phil
