Good Day: If McMaster-Carr can't get you what you want(sounds like they can), I have the OEM by Tech Drawing of who provides these to the military. On this one. it all lucked out and I seem to have the info using 2 computers to do so. This is a real pain. This gets real flakey trying as some...
Good Day: If your checks of all the external things does not provide the answer, you may have to carefully drill the rivets of the K8 to open it. Then you can see if things inside are in order, or overheated in a spot. POP rivet it closed if nothing found, or find short screws.
Good Day: Your harness Pictures look pretty good! Nice, clean, and you should get readings about everywhere you want with that one. Gen control box and S8 area with TB4 really look good. Interesting what comes inside the K8.
I checked thru all 3 of my 4 TB Hard drives for the DMWR or Lister Petter engine book. I can't find them right now. The best thing is the engine Tech Manual which touches on most things which Guy has loaded in the Tech Manual area of the Forum TM 9-2815-253-24 and 24P. I recommend reading...
Good Day: Member Ray70 is correct. Don't half step this. I found the hardest part was the screws on the slanted metal just in front of the engine fan and that small square of sheet metal around the fuel fill. I rebuilt many and I even removed the center part as well leaving only the engine...
Oh Boy. You ever check a main gen? Yours is in question. I'm looking up the pages so you may read. I do hope you left that ground to neutral link in there on the load terminal board or this is all for not. Each state is different, but the military left it there for 90% of uses to avoid...
Those pages are from a newer Tech manual that says i can't send it out and not go to jail or some giant Govt. man at the front door beating me all up. The procedures are in all volumes, and I'll bet you a dollar they are there. Take a look. Next time I'll dig up an older volume to make a...
Good Day: So you took the S8 wiring Guide and matched TB3 wire numbers T1 to 001A all the way to to T12 to 012A and all those match. Does not matter where on the TB so long the wire numbers match on a particular terminal. Mine on the guide are after RESET, where the fold outs in the Tech...
Good day: This is painful, but you missed something. Read all notes, warnings, and cautions. In the attached there was a note. Isolate the component. OK, on this panel the insulated endings are a pain and they melt as you solder a component. I have provided a color coded schematic with the...
Check your K8 and S8 and S6 like you say you will. Sounds like a plan. The S6 only switches to the front panel gages what you want to read as indicated on the front panel, and has nothing to do with your issue. If that circuit is working, leave it. Make it clean, cool stuff.
Just to think...
Good Day: Just take your time and try your best. If you believe it is beyond your abilities then have the shop deal with it as your wallet can stand. Take notes, use boxes to keep things in, save everything. Usually took 2 days to tear one down in a war zone all the way to the skid. Very...
