These are the best images I can take for this fuse and holder. No scorch, burn or discolor. There could have been a shadow in my 1 st. Either way. This is like new. All the Best
Good Monday Morning, I have 24v, when holding the contactor switch up. Nothing when I let the switch go. I took K1 out and took apart as you can see in pics. Question about 2nd pic: 4 washers came from the plunger with 3 posts. Did not see these in position, they feel out during disassembly. Why...
Great, as said when the rain stops Monday I will get back to it. I did have the K1 apart days before I found the bad connection at block#10. There were a couple tiny burn marks on the 3 contacts on the top. Cleaned up very easy. Took out of the box, it looked brand new. Always thanks Rich
I will have to check, we have big rain right now. Probably the day or 2. I will try that 1st. Also, alot of wires have been moved around and such in the last couple days. At least the generator is now producing power at the convienience plug. Thanks for getting back. Rich
So I got the gen to power the conveinience plug and the ax volt gauge registers now. But I do not have power at the lugs. I have been trying to find the test for K1 and the cleaning procedure. This is what I sent out.
Well, I found a bad connection at block#10. fixed the connection and the AC...
I dont think that is "scorch" marks. When I pulled the fuse and tested it, it was very clean. NO burn marks at all. Tested the fuse out of the holder and tested it in the holder, both ways. Their may be some tinting or age to the contacts, I will look at it again. I now have power reading on...
Okay, found bad connection at #10 block. The butt connectors did not seem tight. Gave them a sqeeze and the AC gauge now reads 115v. hertz60. ONLY works on the convienience receptacle. I flip the AC Inturupter Swicth and it does not light. NO AC power out of the main lugs. Getting closer.
I will have to try that tomorrow. Out of time today. I did forget to send pics of J5,P5. Very clean connection. Dont know the pin size to do a drag test. Probably wouldn't have the correct one anyways. I did apply dielectric. Never hurts. My old unit patch is the last image. The dude that goes...
So, I have the cover off the gen head. I attached pics of it. Also of the other compartments. The VR. Nothing odd with figure 10. Wires look ok, did a tug test. Did not unplug, did not tug hard. Inside of head looks pretty decent, no nests.
Okay, got that. The way it sounds with your "Most Likely Issues". Will I be able to get to all of these connections if I remove the main lug panel and the cover off of the generator end to look inside.? Am I on the right avenue to get to these problem connections? I will copy all of this, and...
OKAY a break in the weather. Test h., 22.7 vdc. Test j., 14.0 vac. Test L., 24.7 vac. Test n., Yes the potentiometer does adjust smoothly to 5000 ohms.
Thank you. I will not be able to perform this today, maybe not until Monday. We have major thunderstorms on the way. Hail last night. I will get back as soon as I can. Again thanks for the right docs.
I did the test as per the PDF in the TM. term 1&2 voltage adjust 1.2vac, term 3&4 117.5 vac, term 5&6 6.0vdc, term 7&8 68.2 vac. These are the "TEST" numbers on the PDF . The title is Quad Circuit. The readings I supplied are what I got. The test does not specify anything. Like, power on engine...
I also test OHMS on 7 & 8 wires from quad A1. wires disconnected , ohms between wires is 1.5 ohms. I did test ohms on terminals 7 & 8 with wires disconnected 379 ohms.
