Yes, Thank you for posting this article. This question has been posted several times. Can I rewire my generator for single phase power? I have seen reference to the "zig zag" configuration, and read a little about it, but since I don't have one of the larger generators to play around with, I...

Bill is correct, I forgot about the recess in the center bolt. You can just back it off about 1/4" or so, just so it's free from the wheel, and push against that. Also, a correctiogn to my earlier post...the threaded holes around the center of the hub are 5/16"-24. They are fine threads not...

Welcome from the south of you...Cambridge Ohio.

You actually want to pull the blower wheel off, not the flywheel. You will need a puller of sorts. It is mounted on a tapered shaft with a keyway to keep it from spinning. Take the one center bolt out of the blower wheel and theoretically it should come off just by tapping (gently tapping...

It looks like you found the culprit. You may be able to fix that problem... Obviously you are making voltage with the stator, and the tests in the TM come out good (resistance test and ground test). One time I had a small briggs engine that wouldn't fire. The magnet that passes by the coil was...

Sounds like the IP is just full of crud. I can't imagine a bad IP starting off good and then going bad after a few minutes. Any mechanical problem in the IP should be evident from the start. I would try a complete tear down and cleaning of the IP before I bought a new/rebuilt one.

Alright, I must have gotten lost somewhere in the beginning when you were posting AC voltages in areas where you should have been reading DC volts. Because what I see in the last couple of posts makes no sense to me at all. From what you state, either the voltage regulator is not working and...

Nice score!!

sounds like a good deal CARNAC. TheOxman is a good soldier, he helped me out of a tight spot last year in picking up my tent from Eglin.

Mike, I have one thanks to the towbar b*tch...Gimpy (we did a little horse trading a while back). I was just screwing around. I hope to never have to use it, but I got it just in case.

no, I just wanted to get in on all of this arguing back and forth about how fast you can or should tow a vehicle. I see RV's going down the highway all the time doing 65 and 70 pulling their little SUV's and foreign cars behind them on towbars that aren't build nearly as well as the military...

I wish i had a towbar

we'll put your earplugs to the test. You can park right between Gimp and I.

Yes, that is bad for the charging system, but it is also an indication that the charging system is working. When he removes the negative cable and the machine shuts off, that means it is not charging, so it doesn't matter in that case (mostly because the machine shuts down and won't run...LOL).

I see that in an earlier post you did re-test the stator output, and had about 33 volts (33.2 to be exact). The stator is good. I am a bit confused as to why you keep stating all of these meter readings you get at the fuse holder and at the red marked wire on the VR as being ac volts. All of...

Howdy from the Cambridge area.

I'm not going to say that is not a good idea because it is, BUT. I don't think the WIKI was started to take the place of the TM, and almost all of those things are covered in chapter 2 of the -12 TM. It's always good to read through at least the -12 TM (operators level) to familiarize...

Today 1/23/10 I added a like to a thread discussing the fuel strainer and where to buy a new one.

Here is a suggestion for the WIKI. Anytime anybody edits the WIKI, use the "Discussion" tab at the top and make a post about the changes that were just made to the WIKI. Those posts stay with the WIKI and allow people like me to see what has been changed, added or removed without having to...

Those are nice cables, but they are way too short for the 003a. They might possibly work on the 002a though.
