I finally got this generator running after replacing S1 but it has no output voltage other that the 6v exciter. No fault lights, and same results when the battle switch is on.
Here is a link to a crappy video

I got tired of not hearing anything and called the DLA direct. They were very helpful and researched my delay and called me back within a few hours. Turns out GP isnt exactly telling the truth when it comes up dates. Their # is 877-352-2255 and get the disposition services dept.
Update. Thanks to Guyfang helping out a different SS member on his generator, I found that when S1 is in the run position, terminal 3 isn't getting voltage. I jumped 24v to the terminal 3 wire coming off S1 and the engine started and ran in its own. Terminal 3 does get 24v while I the start...
Still the same thing. the engine will only stay running if the main switch is held in the start position. It runs great but once I let off switch the engine shuts off. The mag pickup has 750 ohms and I have adjusted AC voltage when using the dead crank switch to 2.7vac. This is with the battle...
Frustrated. I can only work on it during the weekend but I am out of ideas. I ordered a new Woodward governor and I am going to install it this weekend. My old HS auto shop teacher always said "Be a mechanic and not a parts changer" because so many guys would just guess at what was wrong instead...
Just bought this truck and I love it so far. I had searched and read this forum for all these answers but couldn't come up with them.
1. I know these aren’t race cars but my truck is ungodly slow and I don’t think it would make it up a 6% grade. Has anyone turned up the injector fuel rack...
Mine had several pin hole leaks in them too. I used to have a couple race cars so I had a bunch of -6 braided hose laying around. I replaced all the hose at the same time. I reused all the old fittings as they are barbed
I do have the TM's and page 2-64 and on look like a good place to start. Both freq and volt pots are in spec. I still think the mag pickup is the problem but finding an exact replacement is difficult.
Ok I ran the unit today for about 5 min while holding the main switch in the start position. No idiot light with or with out the battle stich on. I tried closing and opening the contactor several times but only have about 25vac. Adjusting the freq knob does raise and lower the rpm slightly...
I just bought this unit and it ran but made no voltage. I adjusted the mag pickup and moved the high/low voltage board to the low position. Now the engine will only stay running if the main switch is held in the start position. It runs great but once I let off switch the engine shuts off. The...
GP tell me their inspector was unable to find certain info on my M35A3 data plate so they sent me a request for a SF97. All the fields are missing and my questions are:
1. What should I put for the year? 1990 would make it 25 years old and I might be able to register it as historic?
2...
I bought a M35A3 on 12/2/15, paid on 12/3/15 and picked up on 12/7/15 but I haven't received any paperwork or emails. Do I need to contact GP, or do they contact me 1st?
Ok thanks. I'll try to cross reference the numbers. I pulled it and it looks great. There were a small amount of metal shavings on the head but not too many. I bottom it out and then backed off 3/4 turn but I had the same results. I turned it in another 1/4 turn and had the same results.
Ok I'm getting OL for ohms while measuring the mag pickup. I'm bring less than 1vac while using the dead crank. Any idea what the mag pickup pn# could be? Thanks for getting me this far
