Good morning gentlemen:
I have searched 10 pages of the archives and cannot locate this exact issue. We do a 'normal' start and while holding the switch 'ON' can get correct voltage at the convenience outlets, but as soon as the start switch is released the unit dies. However; we can hold the start switch 'ON', let the unit 'flash' and if we then turn 'ON' the battle short switch and THENrelease the start switch the unit will continue to run and produce voltage. OH... and when we turn battle short 'off' the unit immediately shuts down. I realize engaging battle short over-rides all control protections and is NOT the way to use the unit.
My problem is: Where do I go from here? Is this an AVR issue... OR????????? As the unit will produce power when in battle short mode I am assuming (yea... I know) the mechanical systems are ok. In other words the engine is getting correct oil pressure and the generator head isn't shorted or diodes blown otherwise it couldn't produce power in battle short mode. IF it was an AVR issue I'm assuming (yea... that word again) it wouldn't produce correct voltages regardless of the battle short switches position.
Yes, I do have ALL the TM's. Cannot locate this issue. As stated: Any ideas where to look from here?
Thanks in advance for your input.
