These units run much better long term if operated above 75% of their rated load whenever possible. So if you can make it work with a smaller unit that's better. There's also the fact that the larger the unit, the more fuel it burns just to operate. My opinion would be go with the 15kw, or...

It also depends on the amount of weight in the vehicle. The rear end typically doesn't have as much weight on it, so the rear brakes lock up before the front do, especially when applying the brakes hard. I can make the brakes lock up on the rear of my M1123 even with a small load in the back...

So going by the pics, it looks like pressure dropped as oil got warmer over time, and then settled out at right around the minimum spec for the operating range. The last two it's pretty much the same pressure there, so I personally would not be worried. Probably good for your oil change you...

Normal operating pressure is supposed to be 25-60. If the gauge is reading 23 after operating for 45 minutes it's still very close, and these gauges aren't the most accurate to begin with. You said earlier it has 2 hours on the meter after going through reset, so no idea how many hours are...

A GFCI also has nothing to do with frequency. Simplified, it's just checking to see if there is a voltage showing up on the ground wire that isn't supposed to be there, then trips the circuit if it measures any (something like 100mv is enough) From my past experience with these generators...

In proper operating condition, yes, these will trip before you get that kind of droop. at 35 hz you're talking serious issues with the load if it isn't purely resistive. So yes, if your machine is drooping more than a few hz, there is something wrong with the engine that needs fixed. About...

On the plus side, you've found things that are definitely not right. I always hate troubleshooting something and not finding anything wrong, then it just starts working again.

I use the NOCO G750 as a maintainer on one of the generators I have here, it's been on there for a couple years now and I haven't had any issues with the battery. The generator came out of an RV so it doesn't actually have it's own 12V charging system, the G750 has no issues with the small draw...

First actual modification I did to mine was a keyed battery disconnect. Adds both security from unauthorized starting attempts, but also security from shorting out components by being dumb and not disconnecting batteries first. Also saves a lot of wear and tear on both the seat latches and my...

Also, if your meter leads are long enough, you can check from the positive stud on the generator back to the negative battery post. If you have good voltage it's almost certainly an issue between the battery negative post and the vehicle ground.

the #6 cable you moved might be part of the issue, but it's not the only possibility. If your ground cable isn't making a good connection to the shunt and then to vehicle ground you can check every positive connection on the truck and still not see voltage. I haven't seen it yet, but do you...

If you have 24 at the batteries and a lot less than that at the slave receptacle, then you definitely have a bad connection or bad wire somewhere in the box. Most likely having to do with the ground wire from the rear battery to shunt. Slave cable connects to the same posts as the battery does...

Like guyfang said, never remove the positive terminal first. Start with the negative terminal from the cable that goes to the block, not the one that goes between batteries, then next is the one between the batteries. Reason being if the ground is still hooked up and you accidentally touch a...

Yes, still red for positive and black for negative (I went out and double checked my truck just to be sure) Positive to the red connector on the wall of the battery box towards the front of the vehicle, in the center of the box is a DC shunt where the negative attaches. It looks like in your...

I'm assuming by "red marked shunt" you mean the positive connection on the side of the battery box. I may be wrong with terminology but the shunt is where the negative cable connects then ha a bunch of bars to connect it to the vehicle ground. Do you show voltage when you check the negative...

I don't think you'll find anywhere near the anal retentiveness in this hobby as much as you do in the Harley world. With the limited availability of some parts, expense of others, and that these things need a lot of maintenance, it's enough for most of us that you own one and are keeping it...

If it's a 998 you can install the 6.5 or 6.5 turbo no problems. The 998A2s have the 6.5 and 4 speed, and as I understand even some of the earlier versions have them in it when they had engine/transmission issues. Over the weekend we had 3 trucks side by side with the hoods up. 2 998s and one...

Just a little light cleaning on my truck, getting it ready for the PNW Steel Soldiers rally this weekend. Funny thing today, was walking through the Habitat for Humanity ReStore (they take donations for construction materials and household appliances to resell for those that don't know what it...

Thanks for letting us know, always nice to have some closure on an issue just in case someone else has the same issue.

Spent a couple hours changing the direction of a tire on the rim. 3 tires came on the truck facing the same direction, one the opposite. I took off the one of the 3 that was on the wrong side, so now the tread faces one way on one side and other way on the other (or in other words, all tires...
