You know, I cant but think that there is a better switch. There just has to be.

old style.

Is this an old style S8, or a new one. I copied every wire and location from the schematics and wire diagrams. I just need to go back through it and add 0's, (zeros) to all the single digit numbers, like S8-1 would then become S08-01, or you cant sort them right. And do one last, (again) look...

Wire number From To 002A S08-02 TB3-2 008A S08-03 TB3-8 010A S08-08 TB3-10 004A S08-09 TB3-4 167B S08-13 TB4-1 179B S08-14 P6-32 006A S08-20 TB3-6 007A S08-22 TB3-7 012A S08-26 TB3-12 005A S08-32 TB3-5 011A S08-36 TB3-11 009A S08-38 TB3-9 167A S08-41 TB4-1 176C...

We have pneumonia. Mine is according to Frau Doctor not too advanced. Not good. After looking at the burden resistors, if they are good, look at the CT's, and maybe see if they are wound properly.

It's much better. But still not right. The Frau Doctor, (she is from Mongolila) gave me antibiotics because she thinks I may have a touch of bronchitis or pneumonia. So we shall see. The weather has warmed up and i took a short ride on my bike, with everyone and his dog in disagreement. Just...

It happens to the best of us. What's the third step in the troubleshooting diagram, in the -10 manual, for: Will not crank?

LID, Stop. Take a breather. There are two possible reasons it won't work. You mis wired it. If it ran before, it should if you wired it right. It has more then one problem. So, re check the K8 wires. Then start at the start. Go to the S1, and troubleshoot like I know you can. Do not try and...

Got to have your priorities.

Short circuit OR Overload. Here is the K8. If you use two roach clips and a wire to jump it, you can get a better idea if its the relay.

I am working the wire diagrams right now. Found two mistakes. If my wife lets me have enough time, I will do some more work on them.

If you cant step the load, ya cant step the load. It is, what it is.

I will take the time to warn everyone about shock loading. A little is OK, but not a lot. First of fits a strain the gen set doesn't really need. Second off. The only gen sets that should experance a sudden and dramatic loading, is Auto start gen sets. Normally, if the power goes out, and you...

If you just have to get a new S8, try and get the new one. You say "only 2000 hours". Soldiers are not famous for lavishing TLC on generators. "Run em till they break down" is more like it. You need to set down, and look at your set. Inspect it. Write up the faults. Fix everything that you can...

By the look of the set, it might have just come back from deployment. And that's why it was slated for RESET. Read the RESET document. Its suposed to spit out a set as good as new. 99.9% of the time it does. BUT, if it says reset, it doesn't mean someone else hasn't screwed with it. Or it...

Read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at Mike's Document!! Go to appendix K, for a look at MANDATORY REPLACEMENT PARTS!! Then you will see what should be new, and what should not.

Even old dogs can learn. But let's wait until he is done to see how it goes.

This is why CECOM demanded a new S8. There is no telling how old your switch is. If I remember right, the S8 is a mandatory change item, during reset. But that doesn't always happen. Also, some resets that I saw happen, Often had people taking parts from one pile of parts, and using it to get...

If you have checked the K8, and its good If you have checked the windings and they are good If you have checked the resistors, (please tell us what resistors) diodes and the caps, and they are good And your deoxit doesn't do the trick Then if I was you, I would disconnect every part of the...

Take a look at this file. It has some schematics and wire diagrams in it that are larger then normal. The wire diagrams show EACH component, and the wires that hook up to it, and where.
