Today i had a short time to work on the generator and i discovered a few things that are a bit disheartening. First off i connected the mep017a Hertz gauge that i purchased online to the existing wires were the factory mep003a hertz gauge connected and i got no reading at all. My digital multi meter was showing 60 cycles at what sounded like to me near idle and my throttle adjustment was pushed almost all the way in (this just doesn't seem right). My question is do i have to by pass the factory transducer? As well as does the mep017a guage have a built in transducer as that is what i thought? The second thing i noticed is that on connecting my digital meter to the batteries i noticed a reading of 24.2 volts when the unit was started up that value did not go up at all. So i am assuming that my battery charging system does not work. I looked for a fusible link or anything of the sorts on the charging circuit but was unable to find anything as i thought maybe a fuse had popped. I greatly appreciate all the responses and help so far it looks like maybe this unit is in a lot worse shape then i expected!
Disregard the charging system question i found a bunch of testing information on the site!!
