Here go some short answers: The relay controller is a custom version of an off the shelf model, so you may be able to get a workable substitute, but it will take a little investigation as the off the shelf model is made in a few variations (I forget exactly what, but something like different...

I think there is something in the TM about disconnecting the hour meter because when it fails it can cause the heater to not operate.

Will try to get you a picture tomorrow, but it may be a couple of days depending on events here since the H82 is not here at my house.

You will see that these units are VERY conservatively rated, for example output is rated 24x7 at around 120 degrees F (depends on the model) and up to 5,000 ft altitude without derating where commercial units are generally rated at 86 degrees F and under 1,000 ft altitude, they are also...

You might try asking in the night vision section on the ar15.com message board.

It sounds to me like the cheapest solution is a bigger solar panel at the barn, not only could it keep the generator battery charged it could keep the other battery / batteries there charged. After all you can buy a 50 watt solar panel for under $50 these days, which is a lot better than the...

You just have to keep it in mind before you bid

What tag is this, which model? If such a tag is on some models I doubt most electrical inspectors would care, under the category of someone elses problem.

I would tend to think the same thing, unless they have some outlet to sell them other than to the general public.

In addition to the insane reserve level it seems the supply is drying up, at least in my region. Not that long ago it was common to see batches of 10, 20 and sometimes even 30 generators at a time being sold from multiple GL sites within a couple of hundred miles of here, 3 or 4 times per year...

Its amazing how many of us opted for the 50 amp CS connectors.

Looks almost identical to my distribution box setup, except mine uses a pigtail to connect to output lugs, and the distribution box is not in a crash frame, (mine is a Coleman Extreme model 1970 which uses common straight blade outlets instead of the more common industrial twist locks). I also...

On the non ASK version the oil pressure gauge is down near the injection pump

One thing to keep in mind is that you want to avoid vibration anywhere that you are using Aluminun wire.

I know it is insane, I saw a MEP-831 on GL at just under $3,000 with reserve not met, they need to remember that they are selling stuff AS-IS not tested and running, not even working when pulled.

They can be either way, I think the originals were likely all metal given the vintage though.

Just be aware you get what you pay for with those $100 starters, they are nowhere near as well built as the military ones.

Ask him if it was not done this way how would he ground it for field operation when it was not connected to a house through a transfer switch, etc?

There are 2 push pull breakers on the front panel, one is DC one is AC. Sometimes when these units sit in storage the contacts get dirty in the breakers and you have to cycle them a few times to get good contact. The DC breaker is the one that supplies DC to the panel lights, start relay, etc.

try cycling all the breakers (push pull ones) a few times
