Yes, I printed out what I could find before my gensets arrived on the truck. I too use a tablet for quick reference but it will be useless in a power outage when I have power but the local internet is down. A paper manual is invaluable.

The varnish/ enamel has to be cleaned off the copper winding with an Exacto knife down to bare shiny copper, then tinned and twisted to the out going lead if possible, even one twist will usually hold.

Guy, I'll check mine in the morning and let you know, I have that end cover of so its accessable to me. The other info is in your PM box.

I had the exact same thing in one of my sets when I first got it and removed the cover. Luckily no wires were chewed and it cleaned up well.

If you need anymore connections checked, I'll do them in the morning, its getting dark here now and my back is killing me from bouncing on a mower a few hours.

Guy, I just went and undid some of the harness on my set and physically checked the wires by number on each end. From pin 14 ( the pin directly under the latch) on P-4, wire 137M runs over to TB-5 terminal 11 and as you said that is directly jumped to terminal TB-5 terminal 12 so the...

No matter how you shelter the genset, you still should screen it off from mice. They will usually find their way into a building/ shelter but if you screen of the generator they stop there. It's not difficult and there are several pics on the subject here on the board. Use 1/4 inch hardware...

The above picture is correct. I went through my working set confirming these connections not long ago and went by the above diagram.

Nice work! I need to do the same for two of mine.

An open stator winding would read infinite ohms in a pair of it were burned open and much lower if it were shorted. Don't forget, the readings in that table are "temperature" dependent, they are not cut and dried for all conditions. You might try pulling off the stator cover end and look at...

This is why I love this forum^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Taking notes every step of the way.

Welcome to the forum! Please explain your cold start up procedure. Are you using the pre heat function? Are the heaters working? Are you allowing it to prime up for 30 seconds to a minute or maybe two minutes? Are your batteries up to snuff? Can you see oil pressure building if cranking it for...

Get a 1N5406 or better yet a 1N5408 diode and be sure to install it in the proper direction. Any electronics supplier should have them, if not PM me your address and I'll send you a few, but you likely won't get them by the weekend.

Thank You Sir! This is great information to know and probably should go in the parts thread where all the other aftermarket stuff is listed. Tried searching that part number at the link above and no go. I get a "loading search results" but it never appears with any parts. Will try again...

Shorted or opened? Voltage on one side and not the other would indicate an open would it not? Bypassing it with a wire would create a short across an open diode.

Excellent!! The link works but doesn't bring up the part. Got a part number and Mfg??

That works too. My thought is, something non porous bonded tightly to a clean surface wouldn't hold moisture and provide protection for the can whether its in or out of its holder. A better initial design would have been to incorporate a thin sheet metal "skid pad" welded to the bottoms when...

Be aware that the bottoms of those cans are thin and prone to rust through. I have several of them and having left two of them on the ground, they rusted through on a contact spot. Lost about a gallon of gasoline from one and a little less on the other. My suggestion would be to clean the...

My bet is, you found the problem.

Good find! Now try putting some snap on ferrite beads on the wires going to the card and see if it suppresses the noise. Add as many as it takes. Thats the problem with 11m radios, they are AM/SSB and prone to both atmospheric and man made noise. FM tranceivers are much less and in most...
