    003a unstable voltage

    Update: So I sent the VR back to Jim, he received it Friday and reported the resistor that I thought failed was good but went ahead and replaced it. Had it back in the mail the same day!!! You can't beat the service TripleJim has on the VR's, this includes DC regulators. So today, I took my VR...

    003a unstable voltage

    Jim, I sent you an email to stockbox@lakeserv.net. Thank you for taking the time to look at the VR and of course would pay for your time and materials to fix it. Thanks for the great service!

    003a unstable voltage

    Alright Jim, It looks like R11 resistor on the VR board has failed. I've been slowing testing everything and I'm back at the VR. Could the bad CVT1 have caused the failure? looks like R11 is in conjunction with T2 transformer.

    003a unstable voltage

    Its immediate swings back and forth. The bad thing is, this unit went through a tier 2 reset in 2007 and has less than 200 hours. Ran perfect when I originally sold it to him. The guy let a family member use it and doesn't know what they did to it.

    003a unstable voltage

    I put one of TripleJim's VR in the unit and have the problem. So I don't think its the pod on the VR.

    003a unstable voltage

    Would the rheostat cause this kind of problem?

    003a unstable voltage

    I rotated the switch several times but forgot to check the voltage in any other position. I'll try that the next time I'm out with it.

    003a unstable voltage

    GuyFang, I checked the diodes per TM on A4 and they are good. TripleJim it does cycle the same, ie going from 90 up to 130 then back down. It does not go 90 then 130 or anything like that.

    003a unstable voltage

    Ok guys, I've got a 003a that I sold to a gentlemen. He brought it back because the 56ohm resistor on the rectifier board fried. So I replaced the resistor and got high voltage. I replaced the voltage regulator board with one of TripleJims, still high voltage. Found CVT1 was also bad, so I...
