No question is stupid ! This has been covered lots of times just do a search. All of the info will point you in the right direction.

Vise Grips are much better than pliers. To bad their not made in the USA anymore.

I got some time to work on the generator today. I found a bad voltage selector switch. Im good to go. Thanks Again Racky

Yes sir it is at 3:00 when I use the multimeter I get full voltage from the service outlet and at the wire lugs LO, L2, L3, 120v and 240v respectfully. I am also able to adjust voltage with the reostat on the control panel but the voltmeter still only reads 120v and fluctuates when reostat is...

I installed another known good voltmeter today and it only reads 120 volts. After that I gave up its just too hot.

Well I did it again. I bought another generator. This one runs good and puts out power. The hertz gauge works but the voltmeter doesnt. I have power at the 110 outlet and 120 & 240 at the lugs. Has anybody run into this before ? As usual all help is greatly appreciated.

Like emr said maintenance is key. A battery maintainer is also key. I have 2 group 31 batterys that are 5 years old and still going strong. Racky

Well I took the injectors out and installed them into my other generator and the problem traveled with them. So now I have to wait till monday afternoon to get the injectors to the shop. Racky

When I took the pump apart it had a very light varnish coating inside . I am going to make a educated guess that my injectors are the same. I will be removing them later today to take to the diesel shop. I hope thats it if not I will pick his brain. I will keep you guys in the loop. Racky

jjb Im over here in South Brunswick same thing happened to me and my neighbor restitched it for me. He does canvas work if you are willing to take a ride. I can ask him if he would do it and how much. Racky

Awesome right place right time. Racky

I put it all together it smoked at first than cleared up. I was letting it run without a load while I was cleaning up the tools and it suddenly shut down. It was very hot cooling shutters were wide open. Well tomorrow is another day. Racky
