Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Based on my playing around with them, that is a bad sign.Thanks for the responses guys! I'll play with it this week. Any thoughts from anyone on the set only providing approx 100v to the governor controller? Something bad in the gen head?
Check to make sure both connectors going from gen head are plugged in good to the inverter. If that isn't it Id say you could have a burned up gen.Thanks for the responses guys!

Thats not the worst news since the engine is one of the lower cost items to deal with. If the block isn't damaged these engines are pretty simple and inexpensive to rebuild.Check to make sure both connectors going from gen head are plugged in good to the inverter.

I found out today on my second gen the governor linkage lock nut had backed off and I adjusted it to match my other 1. That's the good news. The bad news is its burning oil bad. So I thinking broken ring. So that 1 will have to sit till I can afford to dig into it. Its ashame because everything electrical works perfect on that 1.
Here is the requested video: http://youtu.be/TCeTP-gOmz0Can you post a video of what it does when you shut it down?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OE Yanmar parts are so cheap that it's a waste of good money to look elsewhere.I've got one with a bad head gasket. Should I run away aggressively from the gasket kits marketed for the Chinese Yanmar clones?
I think your magnet isn't strong enough. That will require and adjustment.Here is the requested video: http://youtu.be/TCeTP-gOmz0
I tried locking the lever up and hitting it with my fist and it felt very solid.
Hi guys! I'm working over the 831s I picked up from Albany and have 2 that are giving problems. One isn't putting anything out at the terminals on the inverter. Voltage on the governor controller is low at around 110vAC (troubleshooting sheet shows should be showing 170+). I'm guessing the inverter isn't turning on because the generator isn't putting out enough... Likely?
Second trouble unit is putting out voltage but the governor control arm is surging uncontrollably.. That said, it's putting out good voltage - successully driving a 1.5kW heater. Here's the video. Appreciate any help!
