This is the overall pics of the gen

So Do I install a wire from positive side of battery to #5 of the start run stop switch, then try to start the gen? More than likely speaking from experience I will need the wire number that goes to #5. Kris

Installed the A11 cover and bolted down. Tried to start the gen and it did not start. It cranked over fast but no Bueno. test indicator lights shown ok Peter believes it is the start run stop switch is causing this. We have a game plan to prove it by jumping terminal #5 with 24 volts. The...

OK, Miller Time Will close up A11 and bolt her down I will take pics of the throttle and how I rigged it. Also show the non working knob. Also the IP is leaking still at the high pressure outlets. (just one of four) I bought some copper seals normally used on other diesels and discovered that...

Sorry about the duplicates Kris

Started gen and adjusted to 60 hz and 208 volts (L1 L2) Then took pics of DMM dc volts

I started the gen then set it to 60 hz and used vice grips so the throttle was fixed Then I adjusted volts to 208 then I took pics of the DMM DC Volts Kris

OK So I put my DMM on the same place you documented previously in the DC volt mode on the DMM. Then fire the gen up to 60 HZ. Then read the DMM Correct? Kris

I haven't put the cover on A11 yet. So do you think its time to do so or we need to check something inside? I'm worried about the rain even though the outside covers are down. Kris

I guess I didn't explain myself correctly. I rotated the L switch to all positions and they were within the respected position red lines on the voltmeter at 60 Hz. Also they seemed to be stable not varying both Hz and volts. Kris

Still within the red lines. There are two sets of red lines on the volt meter. L1 L2 was between their 200 volt lines L1 L0 was between their 100 volt lines Kris

Guy thanks for the throttle fix. So I think I can incorporate the fix at where you are supposed to adjust it. Also Peter told me where I can get a electronic step motor and board to set everything to the correct Hz. I think with my limited brain cells and someone else that may start the beast up...

Started her up. Increased the rpm and it able to go past 60 HZ. Wish I had a tachometer. By ear I think it was somewhere between 20 and 40 percent increase in rpm. Also the voltage when up but not much. Kris

This is the HZ gage As you can see it may take more than a little more RPM. But I will start her up and try Kris

OK, This will take a while because the Monsoon is coming back. Kris cant find the 60 HZ switch. This does not look like the drawing to me Kris

Should I go ahead and install the cover on A11? Kris

Maybe someone should post this as a new post for people want to convert there gen from 3 phase to single phase with this important correction?

Update: Restarted gen. Got little over 200 volts and very little HZ (L1 L2). Then increased the rpm got more volts (approx. 240 volts) and HZ started going up and stable at 50 HZ then I increased the volt rheostat and no increase. Then I decreased the rheostat and it decreased. No fault lights...

Just Started up the gen. This time I got a little over 200 volts in the run mode after I changed to 3 amps. Hip Hip horay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kris

OK Will try to start her up again with the first DMM test. Kris
