You can install two 8d's. You have to remove the little dividers that separate the 6tl's. They are wired the same as a LMTV, not like a 939 series. You will have to get rid of the jumper wire that goes +/-/+/-. Just wire it like it should be with two batteries and you won't have a problem.
I looked at the testing procedures again. What does not make sense to me is why the manual says "test this, the numbers (voltage, ohms, etc) SHOULD be in this range xx-xx. There are three 'tests', that all say the numbers SHOULD be in these ranges, then it says "If steps h,j,I are as indicated...
I worded that wrong. I have never looked in that section before NOW.
Color coded wiring diagram is posted here (you actually posted it), but I did not see any manual about testing the voltage regulator. I have searched through many threads to no avail...
Slaved off a HMMWV. With generator running/charging, HMMWV running/charging, this is after charging both gen batteries with a 12v charger it still does not produce power.
I honestly have never even looked at the TM section, that's one of those sections I have always overlooked. I did find the...
I do think the low batteries were the cause of the no-start, I thought the same about the no power but that doesn't seem to be the issue. Yesterday I had it slaved and also had a charger on one of the batteries on the generator. It had stopped charging the batteries but I figured out the...
I messed with it some more yesterday, I would think that if I am only getting 9-10 volts going to the excitation circuit, that may be the issue. I have looked at the schematic and can't figure out where the AC Volatage regulator gets it's 24v supplied from, and I would assume it needs 24v to be...
So I did step H and got 8 volts
step J i got about 7 volts (AC) whether the switch was turned or not
and step i, the numbers didn't match what the TM says, but they did vary
Stupid thing is, step M says if the tests I completed showed up as they "should" in each step that the box is bad. It...
I saw somewhere in my searching that someone mentioned much better wiring diagrams are located somewhere, the ones in the manuals are less than great, and honestly, make little sense to me. Of course now I can't find the mention of those diagrams...
It didn't, but now it does start/run correctly, it MAY have been related to low voltage, I have been in the process of charging the batteries and I guess they were strong enough to turn it over but was not enough voltage to power the other stuff.
Just no readings on Hz or voltage gauges now.
The fuel shutoff is the governor actuator, I wasn't expecting an electronically controlled governor, I expected wrong... On the side of the engine connected to injector pump.
I have not adjusted anything behind the front panel, when I say I adjusted the Hz, I used the knob on the front of the...
