If you get a chance this evening, please take a look at my post #16--photos of the recon board work and conditions found....thanks, Kevin Update--completed the 120/208 shift and also completed the single phase conversion this evening....too late around here to light it off though...won't be...

Copper plate rivets removed (with photos) Setting up this morning to reset the recon board for 120/208v (and then to do the single phase mod), when I removed the board, found the copper plate that connects #6 & #12 lug was loose as seen in photo #2. Don't know if it slipped off of #6 when I...

Finally got a chance to dig into the TM--found a good description of the recon board and figure 2-7.....also visually confirmed the position of the board on the ASK model I'm working....The arrows do indeed line up in the 240/416 position and connection studs 1, 2 & 3 are exposed or not covered...

Agree--that's what I'm thinking too...I need to take a good look at the recon board wiring arrangement and also study the applicable TM sections...as I mentioned to sewerzuk, I didn't understand his mention of the "arrows lining up"...don't remember seeing anything like that when I recently...

I believe my confusion is probably due to the readings I pulled from the ASK model MEP4 last night as follows: (all at 60 hz, meter Ectech MA220) L0-L1 241 L0-L2 242 L0-L3 238 L1-L2 417 L2-L3 419 L1-L3 412 Should I be seeing 120 from neutral to any of the 3 legs? If so, what's...

Thanks Triple Jim--I asked sewerzuk about this--still trying to figure out if this requires changes via the reconnection board or some other method...also asked if these types of wiring changes would affect the specific wiring changes required for the single phase conversion...standing by for...

I remember you had set up one of yours to share your shop & house loads when the generator was still set up for 3-phase. I will definitely be doing the single phase reconfigure on every one I get in. Again--was just curious about how the fellow in NJ was getting the two 120 legs to wire to...

Update on this unit: Ran unit again last night and closed main circuit breaker switch. Adjusted voltage output where readings on L1, L2 & L3 (each to L0) were about 240v. Also verified frequency at 60.5 hz, which pretty much matched the panel meter. Also, the voltage selector switch decided...

Sewerzuk--Thanks for the quick reply. I'll return home on Thursday to run through your steps and will also study safety contact details in the TM this evening. A few other details--when I closed the main breaker last night I believe it stayed closed....though no bulb indication at all...

Was able to fire up an MEP4 (ASK model) this evening. (Sorry no photos yet...late night & have to travel a few days this week).... Here's the basic report: Engine was found with oil & filter & full coolant & both fuel filters. Filled tank with my standard mix of TC3 O/B oil, fuel additive &...
