No M8 hasn't worked since I have owned it but I just got it up and running after fixing the chewed wires removing the tank to clean it and doing the fuse and MOV mod. I just recently got this machine.

Which switch and picture are you referring to with the jumpers? S6 ?

So I clipped 162B where I made the splice and checked it with it cut with bare wire. Weird thing is. 162B that goes back to 162A to the right post of M8 is open. Here is the weird part. When I check the cut side going to #44 of S8 to right terminal of M8 I get 120 ohms 🤔 and its not connected...

Should the continuity be the same through the diagram going both ways? What I mean is from both post of M8 through the system?

So I clipped one leg of my meter on to the CT2 on B2 and checked all the way around from B2 back through #7 at S6 down the line and have continuity all the way around. Mind you when I checked through M8 I checked the left post with the door open. The right post of M8 is wire 162A that turns into...

#43 on S8 is connected and continuity is good.

Thanks, do you have a shot of S6 without wires on it? I have checked continuity with everything except for one leg of switch to S6 #28. Can't see #28 for the wires. Also haven't checked resistance on R11. The screws that hold R11 in are insulated it seems so I need to check at wire connections...

Thanks kloppk. I thought so because I work with resistors on various things. On the diagram you sent me it shows it coming from M8 to S8 to 44 then to 43. I believe 43 is on top of S8 above 44 but 43 has nothing connected to it.

So first off thanks for all the help on my genset. My last post started as something else then wandered off when I found my M8 % load gauge isn't working. Several on here had some great suggestions for troubleshooting and provided some good diagrams. I'm currently looking for a good diagram of...

Ok no amperage in the two scenarios so I'll trace out the connections now.

Thanks a bunch. I'll let you know what I find. Thanks, Jason

Can you tell me how to check it? Do I look for AC amp current at the relay or at M8? Here is a pic of my meters. Thanks

The M The M8 with load on it is not reading any load with the needle. I've had it up to 45 amps on one leg and M8 needle doesnt move. Thanks, Jason

So use my amprobe to measure amps and a MM to measure AC volts while I have a load on the generator?

Thanks. I noticed I was getting 5-9 volts from ground to each post on the gauge back. Don't know what that means but it sounds like it is sending something to it but the gauge isnt working. Is it worth troubleshooting or get a new one? I personally want to keep it all stock looking if possible...

Made the broke connection going to S8 #44 and it still don't work 😭 Checked continuity between gauge going to S8 and S6 and its good. Should I have 24v on one side of the gauge to ground? Thanks, Jason

Found it ! 162 B wire is chewed in half. Time to make a connection and see if it fixes it.

Yes I seen that it was. So your saying the other side goes up to #44 ? If it does the CT coil is blocking me seeing it. I will get a mirror today. Thanks Kloppk

Mine doesnt have a #44. Its all odd numbers like 45-47 on the S8 teminal.

The diagrams show one wire going to S8 to terminal #44 but there isn't a #44 on S8. Maybe I miss read the diagram 🤓
