i hear ya on that. since the original one is 75v i looked at the one you have posted the link to and they do make it in 100v version instead of 50. i assume that would probably be more within spec and give a little extra headroom?? if im not mistaken a cap is only going to put out what goes into...
thanks jim, i did a little digging as well. not really sure of the function of this thing other than as you said to absorb noise but it is expensive. i did find them brand new for $58. sears parts direct wanted around $180..lol. i like your cap better though. $3 is more like it. here is a link...
hey guys, another question concerning this. by the dc voltage regulator up by the blower wheel there is another thing that looks like a noise filter. not the red one attached to the regulator, the other one. its about 3/8" dia and 3" long or so. the parts manual says capacitor. what is this...
ok so tonights progress.... this afternoon i got back the skid/platform and some of the other parts i decided to have powdercoated instead of paint. they all look real good.
i took the engine and set that back on the skid and mounted it so i could begin putting some parts back together. i...
i could be wrong here but wasnt libby a company that was owned by onan. onan just put the assembly of the set under that company name. i swear i read that somewhere before
Hahaha i told you i am a bit nuts with this stuff. When i start restoring something, no matter what it is it will really get restored. Especially when is something for myself.
ok so i figure i would give you guys an update. i pulled the engine and gen off the skid. i separated the two of them so i could replace the flywheel. jerry was kind enough to help me out with one of those and a good starter. i got my puller out and a small handheld torch. heated up the old...
Metalworker, jerry got me covered on the flywheel. Your here in nj so ill keep you in mind for maybe some other spare or needed parts.
jerry i am a custom painter by trade so i do all kinds of graphics, airbrushing and stuff like that on motorcycles and cars but i also do classic car...
Well every electrical component in our homes is engineered differently so hard to tell how long a computer for instance could handle 160volts. Really that doesnt seem like a huge overvoltage. For extended periods absolutely. For a couple seconds until a diesel engine shut down??? Hard to tell...
True but it will only take a fraction of a second to fry some electronics. If all we had to worry about were electric motors, refridgerators, etc then i think killing the engine would work
yes basically same thing i guess but more fancy. angus is right though as far as tying it in. the power would spike and shutting down the engine would take too long. it would need to be tied in to simply cut electrical power output.
