Hello all. I am having a few issues with my gen set.
When I start the gen, I will get a 'under voltage ' light. Someone has messed with the k5 relay before, it was not bolted to the base and loosely in there.

I cheched the magnetic sensor on...

I know some where used as comm shelter carriers in the Air force. Is that what they were used in the Army as well? Do you know what they were used for and by which units?
I have the fording kit installed on my M813. How long does it normally take for the air system to leak down? Where are the common leak places? Armed with a soapy spray bottle, I started to hunt for leaks . found some. But I am afraid there must be more.
My cucv was painted in carc, them in fire 🔥 dept red and then in black (primer?). I would like to use xylene to clean off the last layers of paint to the carc and repaint that. The door has some cracked spot on it. I assume its a good layer of bondo after the opional 10k forklift hug.
