I can help with part numbers now.

MeToo This is the closest I could find: https://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-10-3930-657-24P.pdf

I think the SX-460 is very good at picking up what little residual is present to generate power. I would think under load the windings would get hot and expand and if it's cold out then the case might contract a little. It doesn't take much to wipe away the enamel coating on the windings...

Never had to flash one with an SX460 on it. Diodes? Other than diodes or a bad SX460 (never seen one but they are made in China, so.......) there isn't much to go bad as long as the windings aren't overloaded and damaged.

Best wheel kit: https://www.harborfreight.com/30-in-x-18-in-1000-lb-capacity-polypropylene-dolly-69566.html Use large zip ties, hose clamps, or bolts/nuts to attach.

Sorry it took so long.

Not sure if this is archived or not, but here it is.

It's been a long time since I've had my hands on one. Was it working fine and then just dropped voltage? What's the whole back story? There aren't many things that can go wrong; Bad, open or burned winding? Easy enough to test with meter Bad capacitor? Not as easy to test. Rotating...

Engine speed 3600RPM?

Works fine on the MEP-016D but I sold the 003 long ago. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-016d-with-sx-460-voltage-regulator.141779/

Sounds like you are on the right track. But, from where I sit you still need that neutral, if you don't have it. That panel allows the service to power everything and the generator to power everything below the transfer switch, which seems like a good setup if everything is wired correctly...

Also, the Generac switch you linked to only has a 125 Amp switch. So, you will not be able to run everything you would normally run on your 200 Amp service. The generator may be able to power everything but 125 is only 62.5% or 200. This means you may not be able to run your central AC and...

For your house you want 4 wires. Two hot, one neutral, one ground. In general the neutral and ground go to the same place but the neutral is designed to carry loads and the ground is not. Voltage between the two hot wires should be 220-240V and that will run 220V things. Voltage between...
