    Thanks, just to confirm does this looks ok to you. ? The way I'm setup. The genset can't backfeed the panels as their is an interlock on both side of the double throw switch. And the genset neutral is is engaged on both side regardless?

    The shop sub panel is either backfeed from the shop 200amp via 60 amp breaker or from genset ( orange interlock)

    The blue wire is in fact my white neutral , the main interlock to feed house is GFI protected that why white(blue) red and black on breaker. If I screwed up , feedback is welcome

    3- if double throw switch is on shop it feed subpanel in shop. Subpanel is fed by main panel or genset. Interlock for safety

    2 - if the double throw switch is on house it goes to the main panel who was already wired for genset with interlock ( feeds the house backup)

    K I'll break it down main wire is teck90 6/4 ( 1 red,1 black, 1 blue , 1 bare copper) ( using blue wire as my white neutral) . Power from 803 first goes to double throw switch. ( I can choose to power house backup or shop sub panel)

    Mep 803a hydro locked

    Ray, find a few pics attached, it has its own fuel pump. Water from outlet at water pump and back to block. Bring temp up to 150° in about 6 min.

    It is the Arctic heather kit, diesel powered. Will confirm tomorrow but bring the engine temp to 140 or so by circulating the antifreeze through the block. I’ll dig out my TM for reference # ( I followed guyfang ethos “read the TM” :). )

    Guyfang, I can't figure out how to do a PM , so I will do it on open forum at the risk of exposing complete ignorance :) . I have a diesel engine with fuel, air, compression, mechanical governor and solenoid that engage as it should and "crank" using S1 or dead crank switch ( I have short...

    Mep 803a hydro locked

    I removed, cleaned , adjusted / readjusted 1/2 dozen times. Looks ok but doesn't produce the 2.5 to 3 volts. I have a new one on order. Just wondering if that alone is the reason engine turns but will not start ( no sputtering ects. - similar to gaz engine with no spark)
