I assume you are asking how to wire up the lights for the 3 gauges? Easy. Get yourself some 1/4 quick connect terminals. Find which of the two wires is positive on the DS3 light bulb then run a wire from that terminal and jumper to each of the male quick connects. BTW, Careful with those male...

So I have had some more time to play with the generator in the last couple of days. I replaced the fuel gauge and now that works pefectly. I also received the replacement temp sender and that does not work wonderfully. I put some Loctite 592 thread sealer on it when I installed it and I guess...

You would be able to estimate if it is reading approximate to what it should be. But if you test the gauge and it works fine then that basically narrows it down to the sender or a wiring issue.

You shouldn't have to take any sheet metal off unless you find that the sender is the problem. Just need to get out a multimeter and a couple of jumper wires and do some jumpering on the drop down control panel. I have a resistor decade set so I did not do it the way the TM describes but its...

Just had a similar issue with mine that I found to be the fuel gauge itself and not the sender. There is a section of the TM that talks about testing the gauge with the voltage adjust pot used for variable resistance or you can use plain ole' resistors to see if the gauge responds correctly...

I agree, especially since a NOS one is not too expensive at $60 and I like to have my gear work 100%... But, it could be done in a pinch if needed.

Okay, I have been doing a lot of reading on this issue and I wanted to start one thread specifically about this issue for future reference for other folks with this problem as I go through diagnosis, troubleshooting and ... hopefully repair! Here is the issue my set is having. When load...

I have what may be a stupid question about the WIX 33472 Fuel/Water Seperator... It comes with a round gasket which I assume goes over the threaded nipple on the fuel filter base. Are folks using this gasket with this filter and the stock filter base? When i set the gasket onto the filter it...

Hang in there! you'll figure out what the heck is wrong with it and be better for it because of how familiar you will be with the way it works. And chances are find some small things that needed fixing anyway in the process. End result. You'll have a better generator than one that just ran from...

If it were me I would find out what items are connected to the ignition ON circuitry, And start disconnecting those items. I would probably either disconnect all of them. Or start with the most likely ones (depending on how many fuses you want to blow) Then you should be able to turn the...

I am surprised I have not seen those connectors before. They are quite reasonably priced as well compared to the Hubbellock and Pin & Sleeve ones I was looking at. They even have some with IP68 rating. Wish I saw these before I ordered my other terminal blocks. These are what I have on the...

The napa one is the same spectra one you will get at autozone... I am not sure how Napa does their pricing. When I look at my local store they have it for $304.20 but other stores have it for $420 and then other stores have it for $304 again?!?

Found the sections of the TM that describe troubleshooting both the fuel and temp senders and gauges. Here is what I found: Engine cold temp sender was somewhere around 1.3kohm the manual just says "over 300". I tested the gauge with resistors and the gauge works exactly as expected so I have a...

Thanks for the advice. When i watch videos at home I have my 2 channel stereo hooked into my computer so I guess it is more noticeable. Seems like I hear the same sound on nearly all the videos but in person it just doesn't sound quite right to my ears. I did bleed the fuel system as described...

NR2098 is the Napa P/N, But its a CU850 Radiator if you shop elsewhere. I thought I was getting one with brass tanks like in the photo but it was not. Instead it was a made in china plastic tank piece of junk but so far its working fine. Everything fit properly. I drilled out the ID of one of...

Sounds like you are in the same boat i was with my M1028A2. Worked great for the 4 hour drive home then took it to work the next day and the thing started pissing coolant all over the parking lot. I opted for a new one from Napa just for ease of getting the job done. It was something like 350...

Well I had a chance today to do some actual load testing with the generator. A few issues popped up. First, the water temp gauge that worked fine the first time I ran it now does not work anymore. Its getting 24v going to one side of the gauge and 4.xx volts on the wire that goes to the sender...

Schematics are here: TM 9-6115-642-24

There is a note in the manual that if the injection pumps get turned clockwise that you may experience an issue where the unit will not shut off. When you hit the switch to close the output contactor in the unit does the green light come on? Sounds like the contactor is not closing.

Got around to changing my glow plugs over to 12v and bypassing the resistor bank. Previous owner already changed them all out for the 60g's which I did not know until I purchased a full set and went to install them! They left the stock wiring though... Figured I should complete the job and ditch...
