Have you reviewed the schematic? https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2ucd1TGFTw_QkZLblNsRlBIcUE

I have an 831 for when I don't need to run AC. Works great to keep the lights, fridge, and well pump going on minimal fuel consumption.

This might sound crazy but I have made them using a couple of 5/16 JIC to 1/4 adapters. Buy a PVC ice maker hose of the length of your choice and just thread it together.

No, the part that is sticking out of the side of the enclosure. It is threaded into the fitting.

They threaded a nipple into the oil drain fitting in the image. Remove the nipple and install the plug.

How long have you let it run? How much swing does it have?

I would.

The best thing to do is to start your own thread. If you go to the top of the screen on the forum there is a link for "Technical Manuals". You can go to the generator section and find the technical manual for your machine. There will be wiring diagrams in there. You can see a cleaned up...

Rotating diodes should be the first place you look when troubleshooting reverse EMF damage. Seen it a LOT on grid tie systems.

Do you have the normal 24v DC control power everywhere it is supposed to be? All the gauges working?

They could have started it via the DC power port on the side. Its a round port on the side of the generator. Its a 24v setup so the batteries will be in series. Normally you will have a long cable to the ground that goes to the side opposite from the starter on the engine and to the negative...

Excellent job!

Yep. Its a basic switch. No polarity. It should reset once its cooled down. If not check the switch with ohm meter. It should be open when cool.

that is not recommended. You should not connect the generator to your house until after it has been properly tested with a load bank. You will be putting expensive stuff at risk.

Well alrighty then.

Is that an actual military cable? You can't get away with that in the civilian world. Its a code violation. Black, red, and blue for load bearing conductors. You are not allowed to repurpose white or green as load bearing.

Very cool. My plan is to include some other features such as an auto start which is why I'm going with a microcontroller with more IO. Plus I have a bunch of them laying around. I was toying around with doing a custom layout but thought I would do it with off the shelf parts with the idea that...

Some of the photos are not working. I'm working down a similar path. I'm using an arduino mini pro. I'm using a motor driver to control the actuator. Good luck on your project!!

The gauge is a balanced coil gauge. It will stay where it is when power is removed. If it doesn't move when the fuel level changes with it running - then you have a problem.

Yes AND why I'm saying to insulate it all the way up. Let the moisture go out because any condensation you have in the exhaust will collect soot and unburned fuel. It will make a mess inside the pipe. This is why I don't recommend going larger on an exhaust pipe. That slows down the gas...
