Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Started gen and adjusted to 60 hz and 208 volts (L1 L2)
Then took pics of DMM dc volts
Installed the A11 cover and bolted down.
Tried to start the gen and it did not start.
It cranked over fast but no Bueno.
test indicator lights shown ok
Peter believes it is the start run stop switch is causing this.
We have a game plan to prove it by jumping terminal #5 with 24 volts.
The problem I have at this point is trying to find another switch.
None available.
So even if I have to separate the switch into several I'm game for it.

Sounds plausible. I don't know if you read Kris's first thread. But in the one, we found a cut wire. The ground wire to the L4 fuel cut off solinoid. Give you the same symptoms. Assume nothing. Test everything. Jump the switch. Better yet, take it out and test it.Simple:
Engine cranks, but no start = no fuel
tank full
no fuel leak
S2 switch in run = no engine fuel pump L1
battle short switch ON = engine fuel pump L1 running
conclusion:
speed switch S9-3 ok
S2 toast
elaborates with Kris’s start issues he has, starter not engaging and having to toggle S2 several times to engage starter
S2 has gone to Switch Heaven

So
Do I install a wire from positive side of battery to #5 of the start run stop switch, then try to start the gen?
