So Jim can you plug your 1080p 70 inch led TV in tomorrow and run the same test so we can have a full report of what happens ;) Thanks for the real world data though it's Interesting....

So Just purchased this 701a on Sunday from GL out here in Ca. I probably paid way to much for it but have always wanted one of these and never see them come up for auction out here. I paid bout 1000 after all the taxs and fees, however to put it in perspective usually a mep 003a goes for bout...

Just picked it up yesterday Am going to make a post in the next 20 minutes here on it :) Getting all the pictures off my phone first to upload to the board. I did not see that batt conversion thanks for the info that looks pretty great I was looking at the cost of batteries not cheap. Thanks...

If I had to bet on it id put all my money on the transducer being the problem. Seems to be the part that always fails. The transducer and gauge are matched sets as well. Go to ebay and type in hardy diesel there is a nice little digital replacement that pops right into the hole its rectangular...

SO I just bought one this week out here in California from GL. I paid 980 for it bout a grand after all the fees and taxs. Has bout 200 hours on it onan motor. Been meaning to make a post about it but have not had the time. No idea if it runs or not keeping my fingers crossed. However Gens out...

Well sounds like there are a couple things going on then I wonder why it's not shutting down in addition to the vr problem. I stand corrected on the faults you are right it is supposed to to shut down which makes me wonder why mine is not lol. I would for sure try putting the space heater in...

Looks great, lets see some after pics now that you have the batts installed and everything. Do you mind taking one picture close up where the oil filter housing is. I just got one of these myself and the cover on the starter lock out switch is missing and the wires to it are cut so im pretty...

Many electronics are designed with auto switching power supplies to easily run on 240 volts. All of Europe is 240.. Any way ive never put much thought into this personally but I would have to agree with everyone else the best protection would be tripping the main breaker. On the 004 and up this...

Hum interesting well I may stand corrected then. I have had a short circuit fault when I popped the breaker in on my convince outlet (Somebody had wired the hot to the neutral) That popped the main breaker right off immediately, and ive had an overvoltage fault as well same thing. So I was...

My Experince with the 003 and 002 are fairly little. But triple Jim on the 005 I know if I crank it over and let it start and release too soon the field will not flash. Maybe that is what he is doing? I find I have to hold it in the start position for a good 3-5 seconds after the motor has...

Anything Gen related and not engine related does not shut down the generator it just opens up the main breaker on the unit to protect your load. So how do you know it did not work right sounds like you were just looking at the convince outlet... Did the orange light on the breaker remain on in...

Yup I'm third stringer qb.... Moving up to second string once we trade Smith ;),

Did ya move the selector to the appropriate position for indication of the volts and percent load? That switch just changes what the guages are reading and if you are in a 3 phase mode when it is in single phase then they are not going to indicate right..

Sorry for the slow response. Sunday night was a tough loss for me :( But we wont get into that right now however I still think we should have won that game... We will be back though!! Any way I took the liberty of taking a few pictures of the throttle so you could see what a normal...

No worries um figures star with the easy things first. I glad that fixes it for ya. As far as the throttle goes yes you have to manually set it to sixty hz it should stay at where you set it at. It's a twist throttle you spin it counter clockwise and it should speed up as the throttle cones out...

So as I mentioned before you need to flash the field. So start it up again and then hold the switch in the start position for about 10 seconds after it comes up to rpm. Then release it and you should start seeing power being generated. Again avoid idling it just throttle it right up to speed...

glad to hear the motor is running great. As a side note never idle this thing you run the risk of blowing up the voltage regulator which will then require some fixing to make it work again. So did you flash the field? If not I suggest you flash the field first. Perhaps you should start a new...

No worries look forward to hearing the tale...

This is an excellent question. The injection pump actually runs at 1/2 the speed the motor does. So It takes 2 revolutions of the main crank for one revolution of the injection pump. So that is why the dots are important it lets you know which half of the rotation you are on. Most likely if it...

LOL Yeah I was told the exact same thing. Um so quick question were they lined up when you pulled the pump off? If so Id say you should probably line them up again. I personally dont see why it makes any difference what so ever I mean its just turning the pump. The only thing I can think of is...
