Hello
Thanks to everyone who replied, sorry I've been gone for so long. It's been a very busy summer. I finally did just abandon the old system and get rid of the 3 control boxes. I had a friend end up giving me a Woodward DPG controller that was used on a marine generator. I normally...
Hello
I know this thread is ancient but I was trying to find more info on these field phones / interface units and came across this. I couldn't find the manual anywhere on the net in pdf, and this was the only thread I found here. Does anyone know if the manual is available yet or where to...
When I checked out the governor I found 14 volts on the input to it (with engine running), there also about 4 volts AC coming from the speed sensor. According to the manual the sensor should be working. I could not get the actuator to move when I jumpered terminal 2 and 3, but I did confirm...

I just disconnected the front battery ground and noticed that the 12v was still present on the 24v buss. I tried disconnecting the - on the rear battery and the 12 volts went away.
Hello
I've been an occasional reader here for years but I think this is my first post. First off I would like to thank everyone who provides so much help to everyone, I've usually been able to solve any problem just by reading posts here. I bought a nice M1031 from a university auction...
