Excellent indeed. I have worked with many "2 wire electricians" for those of you who dont know, if its more than 2 wires they will mess it up. Float wise I worked on a system that had about 30 floats similar to these. they were housed in jar type enclosures. The problem was the things...

It looks like you arent getting enough excitation

need a to b b to c and c to a both sides

slight pitting and burning is normal in K1. you get a frequency so some power is being made. are you skilled with a multi meter? With the set running measure the voltages at the contactor. both sides lets see if the head is making power first.

A sliding block. Something that physically prevents you from closing both breakers at the same time? Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

I am following the design in this thread. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-005a-voltage-regulator-replacement-and-single-phase-conversion.219949/# I have never used this process before, the one i did was alot more complex.

loosten the top nut rotate the bar clockwise, tighten nut.

I am glad you posted about the temp sender i was having the same issue and hadnt dug deeper into it yet. I ordered one from china took 2 months with no shipping data. somewhere around month 1 I went through amazon and it took 2 weeks. now i have a spare.

I would say your voltage regulator is done. I know a couple of members here that have rebuilt the existing a direct replacement is difficult to find. There is an aftermarket option but it requires some skill to assemble. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

your lockout physical interlock or manually applying loto?

Ground loops do weird things. you should have 4 wires from the set to the house. if there is no switching of your neutral connection (most common) then you need to be sure the neutral to ground bond at the generator is open.

The second fuel pump is not for performance it is there for redundancy. They can run just fine off of one. I'm getting ready to retrofit my 004 with a updated AVR I would be happy to share notes with you. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

It'll run just fine with one pump matter of fact I've seen them run with just one pump quite frequently because people don't realize that one pump has failed and it's just a dead brick Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

If you need to buy a second pump make sure it is a feed through if you are running two pumps Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk
