How’s it going fellas,
I’m having issues with a generator 806A the panel has no power I’ve checked batteries checked continuity to the starter replaced relays but still can’t find the issue. I’ve looked for the TM and found a handful but none of them give me the T/S for this certain issue. I would appreciate the help if someone could guide me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

All the TM's for this gen set are in the TM forum. You do know, that there are two different sets of TM's. One set for the engine, one set for the generator. The information posted above should get your problem fixed.
