Hi, I just bought a 531a with 1380 hours on it. It wasn't running well due to poor maintenance - such as .064 intake valve clearance and condensation in the fuel.
The output contactor switch will only remain in the ON position if the engine is not running. The moment the engine starts - it trips to off. There is never any voltage or frequency displayed. If I remove and install the instrument fuse with the engine running there is a momentary slight response from the hertz meter. The output of the flywheel generator is 47v on an AC scale. I have noticed that the stator to housing rivets show there is some movement. They should be peened or replaced. Any ideas of where to look for problems?
