I assume you already checked the glow plugs.

Maybe not any more in some cases.

I made some suggestions to 445gsdss and then suggested he post here because someone will likely think of something that I didn't. Just to let you know what I've already suggested, here is my reply: Calvin, High, uncontrollable voltage is a sign that something in the regulator circuit is not...

Very nice wiring job. I've had to do a little of that myself, and it takes some skill to make it look that good.

Still, 17 is good. About 5 hours more than the stock tank.

Another good looking generator. Is that a stainless fuel tank? How many gallons?

That's the procedure for adjusting the regulator so that it responds quickly to sudden changes in load without instability or oscillation. That adjustment won't change the output voltage, and unless you're seeing the output voltage swinging back and forth wildly, it's more in the fine-tuning...

Rapracing, if your regulator board is working properly you should be able to adjust that with the voltage adjustment pot on the board. Center your front panel control and then adjust the pot on the board for the voltage you want. The pot is R17 if you have board 72-5020 and R12 if you have...

Excellent. Clay's is getting put to good use too.

Any printed parts on it? :D

I believe you can get the stock type pumps with various fittings, including NPT. I'm not trying to convince you to got that route though, since any way you go will provide good information for others who might have the same needs in the future.

Why not use a pump exactly like the ones on the 003A, except at the tank?

You didn't switch it with the generator running, right?

No, the double fault refers to things like both sides of the 120 volts floating (not referenced to ground with one neutral).

Interesting... 6 $11 Walmart hair 1875 watt hair dryers = 11,250 watts, which would be great to test my 003A. It would take only three for an 002A. If I look around, I can probably find three or four old hair dryers around here.

Maybe start with a compression test (sorry if that was mentioned previously).

Ok thanks Jerry, Jim, and Ike. 6 ohms would be about 4 amps each at 24 volts, which make sense. I measured all mine, but it's been a year, so all I remember is that the total current draw was like 20 or 25 amps, including the intake heaters.

Do you mean 0.6 ohms when all four glow plugs and the two intake heaters are connected? I can't find the spec at the moment, but individually they have to be higher than that.

Peter's referring to the second harmonic of 30Hz showing on the meter. The 3rd harmonic of 20 Hz would be 60 Hz, 4th of 15 Hz, etc., but I don't think the speed adjustment on an 003A will go low enough to reach 900 rpm, which would give 30 Hz. Mine certainly won't.
