I don't remember the ones that mounted to the front of the units, but at one point in time (back in the mid 80's)
We were manufacturing load banks that mounted to the top of the sets, Guy do you remember those?
We called them coffins because they were about 3 feet wide and about 6 feet long.
I...
The gap means that the armature inside the actuator is bottoming out.
Lift the actuator arm to full fuel, lock the locking pin in and hit the top of the actuator arm with your closed fist (pinky side of hand, hitting the arm downward.)
Lift the arm off the locking pin and see if the actuator now...
We never used the start assist on this engine.
Any early engine that had the assist plug in the cover was cut off and glued into the cover.
The yellow cap is only for oil fill.
Servicing the engine proved to be very difficult and messy using the oil dip stick for the GI's in the field.
So we...
Diesel
I think Yanmar added the cap after complaints we received from the field that oil changes were difficult to perform.
This was done shortly after we went into production in 1997.
There are several things on this engine that you wont find in a Yanmar manual such as the 24 volt starter, the...
The yellow cap on the top of the engine is a fill port added to the cover later on in production due to the fact that the process of filling through the dip stick was a pain and messy.
There is a separate winding on the PMA of about 40 VAC, that goes to a 20amp fuse that is in the control box, that then goes to the battery charger.
As Guy said check for charging voltage at the battery of about 28 VDC, if you don't have it (which I will guess you don't) then check the above.
Take the inverter out and check the fuses under the side cover where the connectors are.
The fuses look like little black resistors they are numbered F1-F4, you may have to scrape through some coating to get a resistance reading.
I'm guessing with the mis wires you had from the PMA that you...
Sorry...I forgot the most important thing,
Be careful measuring any AC voltage on an operating genset.
Holding the P15 and 16 connectors and trying to place meter leads into the connectors to make contact with the pins to get a voltage reading is very tricky.
Be careful or get help holding the...
one thing you could do is remove the P15 and P16 from inverter, start the set, place the black knob (start/stop knob) on the engine to half way.
the reason for doing this is to keep engine speed slower. slower the engine speed the less voltage out of the PMA.
Take a DMM set to AC volts and...
yes you need all 4 windings for the inverter to work
sounds to me like you have a bad winding in the stator
the stator for sale on the internet is waaayyy to expensive.
that's about what the entire PMA is worth.
the inverter may have a blown input fuse (there are 4 of them) because of the bad...
Its a droop type governing system which means when load is applied the Freq. droops down.
They are a 3% system which means 61.8 Hz at no load will give you 60Hz full load.
3.9 Life (endurance) requirements. The set shall operate for 1500 hours without critical failure at all loads, continuous and intermittent, up to and including rated load under all of the conditions specified. The set shall have a minimum life of not less than 6000 hours.
