No need to wait 3 more months, unless you just don't want to burn any more fuel. I'm curious to see if starting it at rated speed helps with your generation problem as well as the starter lock-out switch. If you didn't leave it set for 60 Hz when you shut if down last, pull the throttle...

DFN, Don't get too worked up about missing the excerpt from the TM that DH posted. That line is only in the TM for the 002a for some reason. The TM for the 003a doesn't have it in there, but they are essentially the same electronics, so the same rules apply. As to the start switch and what...

DFN, When you run the set at much lower than rated speed, the electronic parts inside are working overtime to produce the proper voltages. Overtaxing the VR and Bridge board will lead to premature failure of the components. I would check to see if the flashing is necessary each and every...

From the sound of it, the meter is working properly if you are getting an adjustable reading when you have the selector set for L2 amps and L2-L3 volts. So that tells me that your ct/cvt assemble is possibly kaput. It is a royal pain in the butt to get to, first you need to make sure all of...

Idling the engine didn't hurt the lockout switch. Idling the engine only affects the electronic voltage regulator and the bridge rectifier board. I would check the voltage at the output lugs or the convenence receptacle and adjust the rheostat and see if that voltage goes up or down. If it...

They are fantastic generators, so DON'T give up on it, we'll get you running yet!!!! I e-mailed you how to jump out the start lockout switch, try that and see what you get. After you get it running we'll work on the voltage problem. Also, under NO circumstances, I mean absolutely NONE. DO...

It may not be the solenoid. Check the wiring coming from the start relay as well, that could have rubbed through on the frame of the set somewhere and went to ground. My one set had a wire coming from the high temp shutdown switch going to ground when I picked it up from the lot.

I was just looking at the prints for the 003a, and I have a question for both of you. EXACTLY in what position of the switch does the breaker trip out? Depending on when the breaker trips, you can eliminate a whole lot of looking around. For example, if it trips out as soon as you go the the...

The DC circuit breaker tripping out should be a relatively easy fix. If it were mine, I would start by pulling the fuse for the charging system and seeing if it still happens. That would eliminate a lot of stuff. Then, like DH mentioned, start looking for the obvious physical problems. And...
