    Test to check Droop

    My Hz meter works some times and then not, not sure if the % load works. The test showed around 30% load but did jump around. I read in the TM about how to adjust the Droop but it did not seem to change the droop. It did limit the amount throttle travel. Here is the thread on the panel...

    Test to check Droop

    I ran a small load test to check the droop. I set the gen to 62 Hz and plugged in two heaters and 1000 watt light. The volts stayed at about 122 volts but the Hz drooped to 58.3. Does this seem right, see video. Thanks

    Auxiliary panel question

    The way the panel is wired is one breaker feeds one side of the 240 outlet and one 110 outlet. The other breaker feeds the other side and one 110 outlet. Both breakers are 20 amp each. So you can run 110 or 240 but not both at the same time. Thanks for the feed back

    Lifter replacement

    We have checked every thing over the past few months. And the only thing left is to replace the lifters on the drivers side bank. So how do you replace the lifters without pulling the head? I have read that it can be done but not how to do it. Thanks for any help

    M1009 Rattle of DOOM!

    m1009 dies if you let off the gas too quickly, thoughts?

    Check the IP return line check valve for small black particles. This could indicate pump problems or valve could just need cleaned. Just one more item that is cheap to check.
