Rosco, When you are using it in 120/240 single phase mode, the split bolt connectors are used as L1 is a "hot" line, and L3 is the other "hot" line. The neutral is L0 and the ground connects just under the throttle adjustment knob to the frame. L2 is not used in 120/240 mode. Also, the...

Welcome aboard and thank you for the purchase. If you need any help or advice, feel free to post something up or send me a PM. We'll get you running sooner or later!

Westy...I love the new avatar pic. Too bad you couldn't have found a pic of the toilets standing at attention. That's one of my favorite movies!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just updated the link to the classified ad for oil filter adapters, it changed.

I was doing a little research on the internet this morning into your issue with the starting currents. I found some interesting information for you. I don’t think there is anything wrong with your main breakers, it’s just that you are trying to start a motor that is just way too large for the...

Plain and simply put, if the frequency is jumping around above 57 Hz, it's either the meter or the engine. The transformers and the electronics on and/or in the set DO NOT AFFECT the frequency. The frequency is absolutely and soley determined by engine speed. I would venture to guess that if...

I had the privilage of meeting sandcobra164 at the '10 SSGA rally, and he is one of the good ones. It's nice to see the generosity payed foreward, and I'm sure Zack will do the same for a member when he has the opportunity.

PM me your e-mail addy and I'll send it to you

Where do I find the serial number on it, can anybody tell me when it was manufactured? My data plate says 1999 but I'm not sure.

It's the very first page of Chapter 7 in the TM. Here is a snippit of the TM

OK...Next lesson....DO NOT LET THE ENGINE IDLE. Start it and get it right up to 1800 RPM's. It's best to leave it at 1800 RPM's and just shut it down, so it goes right up to speed the next time you start it.

If it was bought with 22 hours on it and a rebuild tag showing a rebuild run in of 2.1 hours...it's probably only got 90 hours on it....a good buy!!!! As to the manual, that is the latest one. Both of the -34 manuals for the 002a and 003a are July of '77. The generators haven't changed much...

Make sure you guys keep me back one of the ground rod slide hammers...a pretty one with the rubber handle covers and the slide rod section. Also, if you have any ground rod sections in that haul I call dibs on them too...LOL

Doghead is correct. the charging system on the MEP-003a is only a 6.5 amp charging output. It can take quite a while to charge up the batteries at 6.5 amps. You'll need a multimeter to measure the DC voltage to tell if your charging system is working properly or not. Start off like DH said...

those two have been spedning WAAAAAYYYYYY too much time together lately. I remember the day when playing with your stuff was a private matteraua

You should try to make it to the Haspin Rally in June. The dates are June 9th-12th. I'll more than likely be leaving my place Friday Morning and meeting up with a few members from Columbus to go the rest of the way out. It's a really fun time, and lots of great people. More information will be...

The governor adjustments you were doing really only set the "Range" of the governor from min to max speed when the speed control knob is pulled out or pushed in. The governor "droop" adjustment is explained on page 7-1 of the -34 TM listed as the "sensitivity adjustment". Try doing that...

ok, here is a summary of the information in case the link stops working down the road... 10-32 Teleflex Ball joint kit...West Marine Part #161549...Manufacturer Part #013799-001 1/4-28 Teleflex Ball joint kit...West Marine Part #161531...Manufacturer Part #031126

Those are some pretty odd readings you're getting. I'll guarantee the starting current of a 10 HP 3 phase motor is mugh higher then 28-32 amps. Typical rule of thumb is 6 times the FLA for the starting current. It sounds like your meter isn't capturing the peak reading. Either way, it's...

do you have part #'s you can post up. That would help a lot for future reference.
