    Unless you get a 2nd one and plan on paralleling them you can just ignore those sync lights Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    If it's just not getting past the contactor the good news is it's a fairly simple control circuit just have to figure out what is not allowing it to close. By the way Geneva Florida as in right next to Sanford?

    I built a heater for my 004 which consists of three water heater elements that I just submerge in a tank of water. Without factoring in the frequency you would need about six to put close to a full load on this thing Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Pretty much anything without a motor would be the general blanket statement. Heaters and incandescent light bulbs really don't care about frequency. If you're talking about stress testing this thing you're going to need a lot of load.

    The frequency gauge should be before the output contactor so it should indicator frequency even if the main contactor is off. I would avoid idling this set the avrs are not very happy with low frequency. I've never played with the 400 Hertz gauge however I know the 50 60 hertz gauges are...

    Of all the sets I've worked on that had that model of fuel pump I think I've only had one that was not salvageable. I recently cleaned up a set for a friend that were so varnished up I had to use high pressure compressed air to blow the Piston out of the pump, and once everything was cleaned...

    There are off the shelf options available that will function however tearing the existing pumps apart and cleaning them cost you maybe a couple hours of time a drop in replacement fuel pump can run in the hundreds. If your dead set on just replacing them let me know when you want to do with the...

    Ok. Thanks for clarifying, engine wise not much changes but electrically it makes a difference. As Guy pointed out, this is not a 005a but a 104a. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Do something quick for us to help eliminate further confusion. Look at your hertz gauge. What's it's reading range? Around 50-60 or is it closer to 400? Engine wise it doesn't change much but if it's in the 400s then this set is fairly useless unless you're working at an airport

    For everyone's sanity, the radiator is the front and the control panel is the rear. These fuel pumps are extremely simple and I highly recommend you take them both out apart and clean them. You typically can run on one BUT that's if they are the correct pump. There's a flow through and a...

    Now that I've had more caffeine, there are 2 fuel pumps plumbed in series. Then the water seperator and primary filter. This goes through a solenoid valve to a tank then the 2nd filter to the injection pump. To get the pumps to run without the engine, switch the set to run and the battle...

    Low oil will come on when the unit is placed in run (no pressure). After you start it flopping the reset switch should reset the fault light. I would start with fuel. Filter condition and possibly gummed up pumps

    No. Ct stands for current transformer (or transducer depending on circumstances). Ct4 here is monitoring the current for the convenience outlet Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk
