I would like to 2nd the idea of starting on diesel, then switch over to your alternative fuel once it is warmed up.
In the Mercedes turbo-diesel world, I always shot for fuel temps of at least 150F when running WVO. I attained this by running a hose-in-house fuel line from the trunk (where the...
Looking at that schematic, you might be able to tie the two similar functions together with diodes (if it can deal with the V-drop).
that way you could use a DPDT
Just a thought!
Duh...sorry I wasn't thinking :-)
Does this one look correct?
6GG5B-73 Carling Technologies Toggle Switches
Momentary, on, off.
Not sure if double pole or not...would want to check inside genny to see what it is.
I might have to ride my motorcycle down there and have a look-see.
My MEP-006A is in Newberg, as well as my 404.1 German NATO Radiobox Unimog
Both a little blocked in at the moment :-)
Switch shouldn't be anything amazing. You need a on-off-on switch with momentary one direction, and not in the other. Probably DPDT (double pole, double throw).
If you happen to come across a generator for parts, I need an exciter winding in-case the repair of mine does not end successfully...

You'd want to be careful about your loads and how they are configured relative to the generator. Transformers included as well.
The 4 output connections are on the left side (as viewing from the control panel end). The door...
Have you confirmed the voltage card is in the right position? One sets the generator for 120/240V and the other for higher voltage.
My MEP006 would output 477 phase-to-phase but anything higher would kick off the over-volt limit and shutdown the gen-set.
I would connect a multi-meter across...
Sorry should'a mentioned dealing with bigger than the average generator :-)
I have a meter already that I might throw in just for checking each phase for good match at heavy load.
I scored a MEP-006 and after hearing horror stories, my dad that was working very close by the base went and photoed/inspected the three I was interested in. Out of them, only one looked 'complete' although a suspect 5hrs total run time had me worried. It also had the red X marks all over it...
