I think you are correct, if I turn almost everything on it pulls at 135% no problem, I have read that these will produce 7kw near sea level, I have a 16KW on the auto transfer switch but it burns allot of Propane, if SHTF I can scrounge around for fuel for the MEP. I also have a 3kw Lister/Onan...

Well I load tested it yesterday and it did well, pulling all of the loads, water heater, well pump etc. and just in time, we got some drizzle this morning after a long dry spell and the dust on the distribution line poles caused allot of pole fires, we are chugging along just fine now on the...

We are Genen now!! reg. working fine only a couple minor issues, the freq. meter is not working and the battery charging system is not working Thanks Jim for the help! Craig

Yep two shorted diodes on the A4 board and a trace burned off the back, fortunately the three windings all ohm out the same, about 3.8 ohms so I think CVT1 is OK, Jim you also confirmed my assumption on the "bucking" current. So it looks like I am on the back stretch on getting this thing to...

OK after getting the regulator on the bench at work and doing some component testing I don't see any problem there, I understand how the field is exited with the start switch through CR-2 but I am having a little trouble getting my mind around what roll CVT-1 is playing in all this, ok I can see...

Thanks Jim, looks simple enough. Craig

Well I would not suspect another wiring issue as when the field lead (appeared to short and burn in-two) went the gen was finished, kaput, the pass transistor on the regulator tests bad, I have two of the three transistors in stock but of course not the pass transistor, hopefully I can get one...

I do see above

I pulled the end bell and found a broken wire, fixed that and now I am reading about 32 ohms on the field, I can hold the start switch in the "flash" position and get voltage, I assume and would not be surprised that the broken and shorted wire fried the regulator, this should not be a big...

J12A and J12B, will check first thing in the morning.

OK I found it, now I just need to figure it out

I would like to trace out the field circuit, can anyone tell me which Cannon plug and what terminals on that plug? I am having trouble finding the schematic in the TMs Thanks

Hello all from a newbe I picked up a 5kw genset this week and after re-installing the missing filters it runs fine but has no output, I found P60 and P57 (field wires) disconnected from TB3 5 and 6 indicating someone before me was trouble shooting the problem. When I ohm out the wires I get...
