28 volts is a normal charge rate for 24 volt systems. 30 volts is certainly not going to "take out" anything. It is only 2 volts over spec. What you need to do is get into the trouble tree and start from the beginning and follow the diagnosis steps to the letter. If you start skipping over...

Probably the only one out of the first group I would consider would be the last one and that is not really a parts unit if it runs and makes power. I am obviously further south than you think. I am 5.5 hours from your 4 hour picks. And that is the problem, with diesel at 4.50 a gallon and the...

Doesn't the shut down relay open with power and shut down when power is cut off? If that is the case and he has no relay at all how will he start it?

A little light on the Phosphorus and zinc but exceptionally good on the metals. The new oil should raise the zinc and phosphorus. You could always add just a little bit of ZDDP. very little! Too much is worse than not enough.

I was also there in 76!! I was visiting a friend in the Air Force in Wiesbaden. Well, I was going to show those Germans how a good ole big US farm boy drinks beer. Yep I showed them all right. I will say this, German people are very polite and accommodating, at least in 76 they were. A few of...

I have been looking for that elusive "parts" unit for years and still have not found one near me. I thing Ray and Chainbreaker got them all!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

How hard would it be to fab a bracket and return spring to the linkage? I am not near mine to look at it.

These are not multifuels, you might want to go back to clean diesel and some Power Service fuel additive or similar diesel additive. These will not run on high concentrations of oil like a multifuel. ATF is actually designed NOT to burn so you will end up with all kinds of deposits on the injectors.

Have you cleaned the filters in the bottom of the pumps?

OK, so you have already been jumping the starter so you already know how to do that. The fact that it runs fine means that nothing bad is going to happen. We did not have that info with the first question when I gave my somewhat crass answer. I agree that the problem is the switch or a bad wire...

Jumping the starter is easy, same as doing it in a car. Switch on, Jump hot cable to small terminal on starter solenoid. BUT! If you have major wiring issues up in the control box you can do all kinds of damage by doing this. This is why there are trouble shooting procedures that need to be...

"When I was putting it back, some of the wires looked weird so I checked all the connections and a couple of wires were out of place. A couple were on jumpers so they did not really matter, but I did find that 5 and 9 were reversed. I believe this put L1 and L3 load readings in series instead of...

Yea, but they are so much easier to steer when they are balanced on the front tires. You just need to make the pucker factor work for you. :p

Front end loader on my old Massey 20 tractor. Both of my sets are on 116 trailers now but I still use the tractor to move them around. the loader is my back, without it I would not be moving anything over 100 lbs. anymore.

That plate will also list the running amps and may also list the starting amps if it is a newer unit.

Have you checked the voltages in the house at the panel with a meter? I don't care what the genset says, you need to check the voltages in the house!!! There are things that need to be checked and followed up on when installing and checking out a genset for the first time. When you tied in the...

Central air is a pretty heavy load for a 5K genset. How many ton is your compressor? I am sure it is overloading on startup and may not be catching up. I never go by those percentage meters, I have never seen an accurate one yet. I will bet that A/C compressor draws at least half of the capacity...

Was the sample the old oil or the new oil? If new then it will not tell you if there are any engine issues.

I would still take a sample of the drained oil and send it in to be analyzed to see if there is any metal in it. Once you drain it and put fresh oil in it you need a fair amount of run time before you can get it analyzed.

You could have the oil sample tested to tell you the condition of the engine.
