Guys, spoke with Erick at Power-Tronics in Texas... great, knowledg3eable and helpful guy. Had me do a couple of ohm meter tests and set me up with all needed. Thank you Issac-1
Wow... $3600.00 that is $1800.00 I don't have and $1800.00 that they would charge... wow... that is pricey... I need a cheaper solution... maybe my wife on a stationary bike witha belt driven Genset... -:) Even running straight 24V would not be too bad... 246 V would be within 20% of the 240V...
I don't want the same old system... I want to update the system to the newer model which does not use a motorized VR (just another moving part to break)
I feel like I am delving into secret passages that only those so licensed and permitted should dare... I have a Diesel genset that is working fine, it is a 15 KW unit, engine runs well and if exiter winding is juiced with 24 volts, we have 246 volts out both phase 1 and phse 2. pretty good...
BTW, son found the pump parts in EEEEEb... you know the rest, pm me and I can foward you the source... it seems it was also used in JD tractors... etc. Plentiful... I am just wondering now if I pull it out, how can I be sure that I time it correctly going back... I have an issue that even though...
OK... got engine working... well... power generating well as well (hair stainding on end attests to that.... but seems like the conptrolloer is crapola.... is there a way to up date the controler to a newer amd "better" digital "unit... after I caught my breath, the best I can figure is I had...
Thanks Rusty, but the more I look at it it seems to be more of an rpm controller or a limiter-after cleaning it a bit, it says... synchro-? and just below it label says... speed sensitivity set ... here is a pic... sure would love to have a wiring diagram...
Engine runs like a sewing machine (a loud one) but engine has a gizmo (lack or better term) that sticks out the side of the fuel injection pump that has 3 wires going to it... wires are cut, and have no clue what its purpose was... looks almost like a sideways distributor, but has 3 12 ga wires...
I would do so Gladly... if I knew how!!!
Looks like someone already did... talk about being on the ball. Thanks... I just found my post under Auxilliary Eq. As Rossanne, Rossanna Dana on SNL used to say... Never Mind!
How do I ask if another member recognizes a pic of my Genset? I have what I believe is a 15KW Diesel Genset with apparently low hours, but has not been run in many a year. I cannot find the ID plate since it was completly disassembled , prior owner was planning on sandblasting and painting and...
I don't know if or what the airpack had on the rebuild... If the pedal went to the floor, I would suspect the master cylinder. Either way, I have learned to believe that new... usually means New to Me -:)... I guess like Emos used to say about underwear... I chose to rebuild my own... this way...
Wow... just took my air pack and master apart... I took a lot of photos... if somene feels like they would like to see them, I can either send you a cd or post them. I don't know what max posing capacities are, but we are over the 216mb file size in my computer, but will fit on a cd just fine...
About 1 and a half year ago I replaced both my master cylinder and my airpack with NOS units. Used DOT 5 and all was well or so I thought... yesterday I was taking my Deuce fire truck to get a paint touch up when I saw a river of Dot 5 coming from the vent tube.. maybe it was an old unit that...
Well... 1+ year ago I got a new one... and yesterday I was going for a ride about... only to find a pool of brake fluid under the vent... hmmmm... maybe if I had rebuilt it and done it right, I would not be holding up a Christmas parade because of a bad air pack... I am rebuilding my next...
Youu can do a geebaye search for 24v air solenoids. I picked one up for $12.00 (continous duty) for my a/c engine fan turn on project-ss rules do not allow for posting auctions
As soon as you have a deal in mind please advise. If you forget who I am, just look at the first post in this thread. I have been otherwise occupied and have not had much time to follow up on my quest, but this might divert me back. Congrats!
