Guy means that you need to hold the Engine Control switch (S1) in the START position until the engine starts AND the Oil Pressure has risen and is stable. Then release S1 the Engine Control Switch.
Holding S1 in START after it starts is OK. The starter automatically cuts out after the engine...
If the 12volt loads aren't too big you could used a 24v to 12v buck converter to power the 12v loads. That way you'll be pulling power from both batteries and will help keep them balanced.
Buck converters are very inexpensive.
An ATS is basically is an automated mechanical power switch that will switch from utility power to your generators output power upon a utility power failure to maintain power to your house.

Here is the info from the TM on how to wire the S1 switch.
The numbers closest to the switch are the wire numbers such as 180D. Each wire in the set has...
If the set sat unused for a long period of time corrosion may have crept into the various switch's such as S1, S5, S6, S8 and others.
"Exercising" them with the set NOT running can help with any contact issues. Better yet spray contact cleaner such as Deoxit into the switch openings, if...
As I recall the exciter winding draws 1 amp or less from no load to full load. If the VR is putting out say 2 amps of current into the exciter I could see it overvolting and not blowing the 3 amp fuse.
I produce a replacement A1 VR for the 804B. Should after your testing and troubleshooting determine the VR you bought is NG I have them available for shipment.
TM 9-6115-643-24 is the Support & Maintenance TM. It has troubleshooting procedures for most aspects of the genset.
It's available for downloading in the "TM" section of this forum.
