So my genset is now installed and running. I have had it loaded to about 90% of rated load using the house appliances - upper & lower ovens, toaster, ac, etc). Although the voltage barely moves from 0 to the load I applied (maybe a volt) the frequency is another matter. I get almost 3 Hz droop from 0 to 90% load.
So I search through the TM to see how the governor is adjusted and found the knurled knob adjustment under the manifold access door. The problem I have now is I can't move it. . . My fingers alone can't do it and I don't have a tool (90 degree long neeedle nose???) that can get in there and turn it.
I would like to avoid removing the end shroud around the blower. Will an angled long needle nose do the trick? I have even considered moving the tension spring hook but that might be a pretty gross adjustment.
Attached are a few images I shot of my install
I piped 3 #2 thhn wires and 1 #6 in pvc conduit. To make the connection to the genset I drilled a hole in the top of the output voltage box for a sealtite connector. The #6 wire is used for the equipment ground and I had to drill a small hole in the side of the box to get it down to the split bolt grounding lug.
The following pix are of the ground wire install, the overall installation using the flex SS hoses and finally the control panel in operation.
