Its important that the Light comes on, as the contacts for it are in the K1, so if the light press to test works, and everything else is in order, when the light comes on, the K1 has to have moved. Terminals 11 & 12 are for the light.
Once a month is good. The important thing is getting it up in a higher load range, to help allow it to get to running temp, and 3/4-1 hour is good. But get the load up. 75-90% is great. Someplace in that range.
The only real problem with water and gen sets is when the exhaust flap is gone, or someone pressure washes the set, wrong. Normal rain weather is not a big deal.
No. Not even. Not wasted effort. You learned something very important. Never test components that are integrated in a circuit. ALWAYS, unsolder one side. Then you can measure the component.
Look at the date of manufacture. Hours on the meter mean NOTHING! Anyone can toss a new meter in, and presto! New gen set? Rebuilt gen set? The gen set is maybe as old as you.
Are you talking about maybe a thread you at least on time made a comment in? One comment, and the thread will come up every time its updated. If so, go to the top of the page in that thread, and click on "Unfollow, or Unwatch". And that should take you out of that thread.
