What you are not saying when you keep referring to the high price of the set you got was the free trailer and free delivery! Those trailers are far from cheap!! they bring top dollar with the off road crowd. The genset is fully operational with a bad voltmeter. As I said before put a digital one...

And yet you are fighting everything that is said? We are trying to help but you seem to want to contradict all that is said. These sets are going for 3-5 grand right now, I don't know what you paid but they are 25 plus years old. Stuff goes bad. A volt meter will cost probably 25 bucks? If you...

As I have said, these meters are not the most accurate things in the world. Minimum bid gets you minimum quality.

I am going to go out in a bit and watch my voltmeter on my 003 and see what it does. It does not swing that I know of and those batteries on that set are FAR from new, they were having trouble in my Dodge diesel so I relegated them to this genset and they have no problems with it.

I will bet the batteries he used are 51R's these are in fact batteries for most Honda cars for 20 plus years, They are an almost direct replacement for the military 2HN battery but with twice the amp rating.

Pro tip, Never take the battery cable off of the battery while the engine is running in anything equipped with an alternator!!!! The resultant spike can take out all kinds of electronics on the vehicle/machine. This was something they did back in the days of generators on cars and it worked fine...

Keep in mind that you are using two modern batteries to start a rather small generator. The biggest draw is the initial 1 second of spinning up the generator rotor. After that there is very little draw. Coming out of two brand new automotive size batteries. I would bet that the total draw to...

Have you put a voltmeter across the battery terminals while it is running? That is a very simple way to find out if it is charging. You are WAY overthinking this!!!!!

If you pull a meter in my state you will go to jail if it was not an emergency. And a power outage does not qualify as an emergency. There are much better, and safer, ways to connect aux power legally.

And we ALL make mistakes! I have been a master mechanic for 55 years and just today I made a mistake putting a carburetor back together. We get complacent and we think we have everything under our control. I owned a shop that specialized in carburetors and automotive electrical, I have rebuilt...

To add to what Scooby is saying, The same transformer that drops the voltage from 6,000 to to 240 for your house will also raise the 240 from a generator to 6,000 on that line. Granted linemen will check the line to see if it is live but what if that genset comes online while they are working on...

THAT is why I got two years, that way at least I will not have to worry about next year. Yep, getting old sucks. And scary when I see all this Woke crap that is replacing us.

Found the upgrade button and got two years worth. So does that mean a double tap on the stool sample?

No problem, the prune juice is just kicking in.

Looks like I did forget. Nothing on card. So what do I need to do beside donate blood? LOL.

I am sure I paid, I will check my credit card statements before I reenlist so there is no confusion over a refund. It would not be the first subscription I have missed.

So if you are supplying the house with the generator and you run the compressor you have no issues? If that is the case then the problem is in the wiring you are using that does blow the breaker. What size and how long is the run? If you can run the compressor from the generator through the...

I am told I do have permission to access the mess hall forum? I thought a paid subscription allowed that. I can see past posts I had in there. I am trying to find the old weather thread that was active for so many years.

I see another circuit attached to the lugs, is that an active circuit and has it been checked for shorts? And you say you used the compressor motor, was it hooked up toe the compressor or just the motor alone? Last question is with the compressor, is the head unloader working so you are not...
