Well fellas, somehow I now have ac present on the lugs and even on the gauges. My freq. gauge initially was not working, but after I reset the dc breaker it began to settle down at 60hz. I cleaned a few plugs and contacts, blew all the dirt out of the vr/exciter box and put it all back in. I...

It does not.

I had a few minutes to remove the regulator/exiter box and open it up. Just looking for anything suspicious . I did not notice any burnt traces or anything that appeared bad. I will be spending some time cleaning contacts and connections. On a side note, I have found a mouse nest in the unit...

You need to troubleshoot. Your guessing. The troubleshooting guide would lead you in this direction: I should have stated that I have been through all the obvious checks. Is the Volt meter on the panel showing voltage? no voltage in any position Is the 120 volt out lets showing voltage? no...

Well, I have got back to playing with this again. I removed the set from the trailer and hoping to power the home with it during outtages. I had great success with the single phase conversion late last year. So anyway, Murphy showed up after I fired it up the other day (which i love how easy...

The main fuel tank is plastic. I'll read up on testing the overload relay and make that call. Luckily we've got some pretty good electrical guys where I work with all the necessary equipment.

The problem is I think its too crusty for a fuel system. I suppose I could clean it up, but I am worried about the corrosion coming right back. Thanks for the heads up with the carb cleaner.

Yes the DS6 light comes on in battle short only. Tested good voltage at the output terminals. I will research A9 some more. I changed all fluids with coolant being the only exception because it looked clean but I needed to add a gallon of distilled water. Of course all the storage boxes were...

Not so sexy as some threads, but anyway. I picked up my trailer mounted unit at auction 4 years ago. Somehow it belonged to local police dept. She has sat tarped outside until I recently decided it was time to get it going. Of course the batteries were dead when I purchased it and I couldn't...

Thanks for all the info above. I have just started digging into my 004a that has not been ran in since 2007 at least 2010 i believe. I picked it up at an auction so there wasnt any information about it provided. I will be following along...

Glad to hear it! Looked like a good truck to me.

I just met the fellas and they had some good batteries, chargers, etc... Btw, 155mm, the genset made it back to cincy just fine! thanks brother
