This is what I replaced. What am I missing now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay, I replaced the starter solenoid (k18.) Previously I said this was the starter relay. I was incorrect. I now get a solid "click" and voltage across to both lugs. The TM is reading like VCR programming instructions. Now what?

S1 was in run. I didn't realize that I evidently have to move it to start (momentary?) in order to be able to engage the AC field. I only bought a new starter relay, not a starter so we shall see. I also bought a multimeter that displays hertz. Unfortunately at the scale it shows, I can...

Well now it works... It took forever for me to figure out what the simple issue was but robertsears comment got me to thinking. Since I was jumping the starter lug I was not using the start switch so I decided to turn the switch to start after the engine was running. Would you believe that...

Right now I'm jump starting it from the starter lugs. The starter solenoid is bad.

Well now I am even more confused. I went terminal by terminal and loosened and re-engaged each screw. Cranked everything up and now get perfect voltage through the AC circuit. Turned everything off and back on the. tried to repower with circuit switch and nothing... Sent from my iPhone...

Started a new thread for a new issue as suggested. Got my new to me generator running. Does not have the fuse modification or the MOV mod. At first go around, I was on 240v three phase and was showing solid 240v with 60 hz. I rotated the switch to get 240v single phase and showed the same...

Will do for the new "issue"

Thank you. I’m in North Central Florida and I’m getting this thing ready to ship over to the Bahamas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did. Nothing happened. I went back through the manual and see where there is a test procedure for that. The lightbulb works. It doesn’t seem that the relay is closing though. I am having difficulty identifying a1, a2 etc. I checked continuity from the other side of the relay to the...

Yeah. I read the -10 about grounding. I was just trying to get the thing running. Now to try to find out why I don’t have power at the lugs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay. Got the generator to stay running. Turns out one of the injectors was loose at the bottom and was letting air in. A quick turn of the wrench and it stays running. Still have to jump the starter for now. New starter solenoid will be here tomorrow. I will also check wiring to the fuel...

I tested the starter solenoid. 24V at the large and smaller lug. Turn start switch and almost zero voltage to opposite lug. The S10 switch is the dead crank switch correct? It does nothing when switched over to " dead crank." There is some assumption here though on the fuel solenoid. I...

Thank you. Electrical skills are about a seven out of 10. I know how to pull and manage breakers and what not. I got The generator running today by jumping the starter. It appears that the solenoid is bad on it as is the fuel solenoid. I had to manually open that. Here is the curious thing...

Thank you all. The transformer box is sitting at the end of my driveway so the generator would be sitting in my yard. I'm the only house that runs off it. Unfortunately, there is no outside breaker box, only the onside one that happens to be in the living room. I'm not too worried about...

I just purchased an 803A that shows about 9200 hours on the meter. It's a 2003 so I can't fathom that it has not been rebuilt during that time. Having said that, I am taking this generator as well as possibly a second generator over to the Bahamas to install as a semi permanent generator at a...
