Ike, You are absolutely correct but you forgot to mention that a lot, if not all, newer AC compressors are using scroll compressors. Which by their very design start under almost no load. To everybody else, I just hung up the phone with an engineer at Heinemann about the breaker problems...

Speddmon is buying new breakers because I have several spare output boxes, and 4 of them are for the MEP-002a's. The only difference in the two boxes is the main breaker, and the number of times the power wires are wrapped through the CT/CVT assembly. So with getting two breakers from work at...

Have you gone through and properly done the R3 adjustment? It's quite possible that the R3 adjustment has something to do with the delay of the main trip setting. I'm not 100% positive about that though. I doubt that the control circuitry is seeing any kind of a surge and causing the trip, but a...

OMG, I see you decided to trade in the old pink WV and upgrade to a pretty pink Barbie SUV????????

I wonder what the difference is on getting the SF-97's for trailers?? When I purchased my ENG-3 lube trailer last year, I couldn't use the automated SF-97 form because it said "No lots in event xxxx require sf-97's" I contacted GL through chat and they told me they didn't issue sf-97's for...

This is unrelated to your post, but the diodes you have a picture of can be useful for other things, If you have an old Lincoln "buzzbox" AC welder like I do. I made some heat-sinks and used some large amperage diodes similar to those to make a bridge rectifier for the welders AC output to...

if I'm off work I might try to stop over and drink a beer with ya'll...oops, I mean turn a wrench with ya'll. ;-)

Nice work Gary, I'm glad to see you are out and about after your incident upon returning home from the GA rally.

You can also use the "personal sticky's" feature. In the thread tools area mentioned above, click on the "Stick this thread to the top" button and it will put it at the top of the appropriate forum it's in. When you go to that forum, the thread will always be at the top.

Yup....it is my understanding that "synthetic" oil is not truly synthetic. It's synthetic in the sense that all of the molecules are engineered to be the same size for better lubrication, but it is still just plain old fossil fuel. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

Check the high temperature shutdown switch and or the oil pressure switch. Both of those will cause the exact same symptoms as you have. Also, the start relay will cause this issue, but more than likely one of the two safety switches are your problem.

You can disassemble it and use a new rod, but that rod is hollow IIRC. The fuel enters the chamber, through the plates on the strainer and into the center up through the rod and out the top to the next canister.

ain't that the truth!!!!! You can be like a fighter pilot and put your "kills" on the side of your truck. 4 more and you become an "Ace"

I posted the spec's of the capacitor earlier in this thread. You should have no problems finding a capacitor either locally or on the internet for less than $5.

You are talking about the DC regulator correct? The AC regulator is self excited and does not use the DC once it's running. I can see some noise interfering and possibly damaging the DC regulator.

I wish I were able to get out of work to go over and give them a hand. I hope they get going soon. As it is, I won't be free until 11:30 tonight.

That's not entirely the case. When the sets are "in phase" and both are brought online they stay "in phase" through the magnetic properties of electricity. That's why you need to have them synced when you bring the second one online. If you are syncing to the utility, the more powerful...

Glad you got it running. That was going to be my next suggestion because I had a set that had the exact same problem. One of the high temp switch wires rubbed through on the mounting frame of the air cleaner housing, where the harness bends around to bundle with the rest of the wires.

I hadn't thought of it until just now, but the way the capacitor hooks into the system, if the output transistors of the VR are shorted in just the right way, that could be allowing the current to flow from your positive lead through the shorted transistors in the VR and through the...

I deduced the same thing about the air sucking into the wheel cylinders a few months ago...So, I'm thinking of changing my MC cap vent. And IMHO, just as easy of a fix if not easier is to replace the vent on the master cylinder with a piece of plastic tubing and a swivel fitting. Then route...
