Just watched the video and wanted to say thanks again. Very informative for those of us without a load bank and/or that baby our machines. BTW- I think I saw a small lion cross the screen around the 24 sec mark :D

One thing that is obvious from the photos is that the percent gauge is very accurate. At 12000w it is at 100% (10000 @80%+20%=12000. Mike- Did you adjust Hz or volts at all during the test (I still have not watched the video). I noticed that the Hz were lower on one of the lower wattage tests...

Thanks Mike! I have not went through all the videos yet but I will enjoy watching them tomorrow.

Did the Hz / volts drop significantly at 133%? I dont need that much power on a constant basis but it always runs through my mind, "what if" everything kicked on at the same time (fridge,freezer,well, water heater compressor,AC, etc) and I spike to 15-18Kw for 2 seconds (240v single phase).

Put her to the test and give us some 803 data like surge capsbilities:-D

Thanks. It took longer to unbox it and get the toolbox out to the unit than to install it.

Standby current consumption for that model is 0.9 watts.

Deltran Battery Tender Plus waterproof 24V p/n 022-0158-1

My 24V maintainer arrived and I finally got around to installing it. Just wanted to share a few photos... Even though it is 4lbs and seems stable, I will likely add some double stick tape, to the bottom of it to keep it from vibrating or moving around. I like to keep things stock or able to be...

Ok, so I took a little better look at it and from the side the linkage looked fine and felt loose enough, but from the top you can see it is bent a bit, so I will definitely remove it and straighten that out but the odd thing is that when you manually push or pull the solenoid rod, it only rides...

Thanks, some good info in that post. I didn't exactly time it during shutdown but it seemed to take a long time and was double what it took the first two times I started it but those times I never got it warmed up. Even then it seemed to take a long time. It was long enough that I wondered if...

Thats what I did but I used black electrical tape (about 2 snug wraps). Not perfect but I think it will eliminate any chance it will rattle off. Thanks for confirming that the cap/bottle are "normal".

For all those of you who have these units, does the overflow cap screw on straight and fit tight? It seems like mine wants to cross thread and if you try to snug it down it jumps the thread. If you lightly finger tighten it, then it seems to stay in place, but it just doesn't seem right to me...

I stand corrected, it was actually only about 2.5hz fluctuation because the gauge is .5hz per line like DieselAddict stated. It moved about 5 lines and in my mind I was thinking 5hz. I will mess around with the fuel solenoid linkage..

Thanks. I will read up on the governor and fuel solenoid adjustment. The unit only has 11hrs since reset so most likely tight linkage or adjustments are causing the issues.

I can't post a photo from my phone so will follow up when I can via PC. The gap between the nut and the end linkage is about 1/2 thickness of the nut or less.

When you say pull the kill switch, is that differnt than just turning the master control knob from run to off? I didn't try pulling the emergency stop.

Doubt I will ever hook the generator up via auto transfer given the requirement to manually adjust the hertz. Seems like each time I start it there is some fine tuning needed for hertz and volts. I have only started it 3x and only once with any load.

Well, I finally got everything wired and since it was a nice day I figured it was a good time as any to verify proper operation before power gets knocked out. I connected it up and after a 5 min warm-up I adjusted hertz and voltage prior to switching over to generator power. Initial load was...

Is this engine CARC 383?
