That's what I found too. That it was just a regular ON-OFF-ON toggle switch. I found no mention of the contacts being divided. The reason I replaced it was one of the common contacts would not contact no matter what position the switch was in. So like I said in my earlier post I replaced that...
Ok thanks. I may do that. I actually won one from Greenbrier myself. I've got several things I need to order from Saturn, but I was trying to wait and see if I needed anything else so I could order all at once. Although I may not need to once I get my spare set home. I'll just have to wait...
We're good Tom. How are things in your neck of the woods? I picked it up from a guy I did some work for. Actually bought a gin pole truck off of him and he said "I think I've got something else you may be interested in."
Now for my next question: Is the S2 toggle switch a "divided" switch...
Yeah I may have to build a privacy wall of some kind to park it behind if I ever need to use it for an extended time. Although at the rate it consumes fuel I don't think I'll have to worry about that too much.
I think I've tracked down the problem, but I'm going to wait until I fix what I think it is before I report back. I have traced many wires and checked the relays again, and I think I finally found it. Hope I didn't jinx myself.
Well according to an electronics guru, my diode is good. I guess I need to brush up a little bit:oops:. So now I'm back to chasing wires. Surely I didn't hook up the wires wrong in the magneto. Or maybe the ground wire to the magneto has a break in it although I called myself checking that...
Well thanks to Guyfang for pointing me in the direction of diode CR1. I tested it and was allowing current to flow both ways thereby keeping relay K2 energized. I'll see if I can order a diode and get that fixed and then see if that solves anything.
Paragraph 4-43 (page 161) in TM 5-6115-275-14 describes the coils of those relays should have a resistance of 300 ohms. Two of my relays were 297-298 and the other two were 288-289. I energized the coils of all relays and checked the NO and NC contacts. I did miss the paragraph you quoted. That...
This set is new to me. I had to take the magneto off and clean the points up. I did reinstall the magneto at the same position, but it has a "hiccup." I do have both TMs for the generator and both for the engine. I thought the round solenoid with the rubber cover on top was the choke solenoid?
First off let me say that I have searched this forum and also SmokStak and I have not found any instance of what I'm experiencing. I can get my generator started, but I can not shut it off with the normal stop switch or the emergency stop switch. I checked the K1 thru K4 relays according to the...
It's been a while since I've updated this thread, and I think this was worth the wait. I haven't really done anything to it, but I'm gathering more stuff. Needless to say I am excited.
That's what this is all about, TJ. Get it put together ASAP so I can have time to test run it before the convoy. I did get to work on the seat today, but I didn't empty out the truck so I only took one picture. Hopefully I'll have another mod done before the convoy, but I'll let that one be a...
I know it's been awhile since I posting anything on my truck. but I finally did get transmission reinstalled and working. Had a little uh-oh with the pilot bushing, but other than that, it was relatively easy. I haven't test driven it yet, pending a seat upgrade which may take a few days to get...
There is no input shaft seal on these transmissions. A lot of people run their oil a knuckle down from the fill hole to prevent the oil from puking out when it gets hot. YMMV
