Btw. you can leave the governor control temporary fix in place once you got it set to 60Hz - the Genset will then startup the next time to 60Hz without the need to readjust Frequency
but Guy can probably explain this better then I can
The system with the original control cable / knob is designed to stay in place at the selected frequency after you shut the genset off, this way it will go automatically go back to your selected frequency setting, requiring only minimal (+/- 1Hz) adjustment if any at all the next time the genset is started.
This is correct. You can leave it there, but I would not do any heavy load testing yet. Like I explained before, normally, you only need to adjust hertz very little. But do get something to replace it.
When Peter is done with you, there are a few things we can/need, still do.
1. What other problems, missing parts need to be taken care of? we need to take a look at things. Maybe take some pictures and scrutinize them.
2. Two hour run test.
A. Then we know the day tank float works right.
B. Monitor engine temp.
C. Oil pressure.
D. Stability of AC Volts.
E. Stability of Hertz. As its wired to 60 Hertz, if we have any oscillation, could/should be a fuel problem.
F. Battery charging. Is it charging? Does it come down to Zero after a while? Or continue to charge, long after the batteries should be full (over charging)
G. Oil. Oil level. Using lots of oil? Or over filling the oil system with diesel? Coolant in it?
H. Coolant. Is is staying full? Is it clean? No oil in it?
I. Fault indicator works without "Mystery" lights coming on, but gen set stays running?
J. "Mystery" faults turning the set off?
K. Looking for leaks.
L. Loovers. Do they open? Do they close?
M. Shut down, and do PMCS.
N. Look for loose bolts and nuts.
3. The we do it one more time, but with a load. And longer. 4-6 hours. Then Kris, you can KNOW that the set will run. Run good. Run dependable. And we can compare the results, to make sure that all is well with the set. It sounds more complicated then it is.
