Sounds like the meter is shot. But do test with batteries.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Oh it is safty wired do I need to replace the safty wire and is it timed?View attachment 917941
This is the speedswitch correct? If I disconnect it will the motor start and run
Still won't stay running when I install the jumpers I leave the wires connected as well?Yes, its spring loaded
Great, that takes the speed switch out off the picture. @Guyfang we had two 005’s on which the speed switch would work for 1 to 2 seconds and then the switch would drop out, not letting the Genset run.Still won't stay running when I install the jumpers I leave the wires connected as well?
ok, gauge is defective. If you possess watchmaker skills then you can check the coil resistance and if you get like 500 Ohm then you can take the gauge apart and clean the two diamond bearings of the dial assembly.No go on the batery test.
Ok will do this first thing in the morning.View attachment 917936
Open the Special Relay box. Jump with a wire, between TB 101-1 to TB 101-9
Then start the set normally. Will it stay running?
Do that, then put the boxes back in the set. No need to bolt them down. Start the set, normally and let S2 go. will the set still run? Dont worry about AC voltage. If the set runs, then you know the problem is one of the safeties. Or K2 or K8. Your A5 card looks like its been hot. Its suspect. If the set will not run with the jumper wire, THEN try the S9, (speed switch). Have you pushed the reset button on the S9?
This is because the S9-1 contacts are not being made between the A-B contacts opening, and kicking out the starter, (at the right RPM) and the A-C contacts closing.Great, that takes the speed switch out off the picture. @Guyfang we had two 005’s on which the speed switch would work for 1 to 2 seconds and then the switch would drop out, not letting the Genset run.
This test is much easier then the jumper test in the special relay box
Ok I'll take the relay box back out install the jumper and hook it all back up and let you know what happensIf you are going to jump the TB 101, just hook up the C-Plug to S9 and see what happens when you start it.
Installed the jumper TB101-1 to TB101-9. Started machine, it stays running without battle short on. What does this tell us and where do we go from here? I also had to pull the DC circuit breaker to turn it off.Ok I'll take the relay box back out install the jumper and hook it all back up and let you know what happens
You basically have to check this row now in @Guyfang picture from left to rightView attachment 917936
