Yeah I have a 240v A/C / Heater unit in my basement. I am going to make a plug for it and load this baby. I have other things I can load it with.
Thanks

Hey Guys,
I got it running. It started right up! I am so excited. Thanks so much. Is it possible to run on full load when not connected to an actual load? Also, I read somewhere about some mods needed to be done to this unit for longevity. Something to do with the alternator.
Thanks so...
It took me a min to visualize what you wrote. Now it makes sense. I will check now. I can say this. I don't have 136D connected to my new switch so I"m sure that's it. I knew it was something simple!
Thanks

I am somewhat able to read the schematics. I have power to S17. Nothing at S1. Looks like CB1 is where I am loosing it. I am trying to determine the location of CB1. Is it the same as the "Ground Fualt Circuit Interuper" on the panel?
Thanks,
Joe
Hey Guys,
I picked up two batteries and trying to get this thing started. I have power to the on/off safety switch. When it's pulled out both terminals have 24v (circled in blue). However, I don't have power to the section circled in red. I believe the area circled in red should be hot...
I don't expect to have a starting issue if I hook the switch up right. I put a meter on the new S1 switch and I think I am clear on what goes where. So no I just need to locate the wires on the genny. It just started raining so probably tomorrow.
Thanks

It would seem to be a drain of sorts. However, outside needs a cap. Unless they changed things around. I filled it up with oil and nothing leaked or is leaking out.
Joe
Well that's not good. But I am the total optimist and I think I can fix just about anything. I am going to pick up 2 size 26 batteries from Wallyworld and hopefully I can see if this turd will crank. LOL I will keep you all posted.

So I got my new fuel cap in. Installed it. Looks right and it seals great. Little duct tape residue. No biggie. Taking a look at the new S1 switch too. I found it on the diagram on the inside! You can also see a pic of the hole in the tank. It's a thick tank so I was planning to using a...
Hey guys,
I know I don't need the external pump and such. However, I do have a diesel truck and track loader that will actually benefit more from the external tank than the Generator. My plan was to hook it up directly to the secondary pump on the genny.
Joe
I haven't got it running yet but I did pick up this combo locker/75 gallon transfer tank and pump! Super excited. Do you all see anything wrong with mounting that tank there? I mean it's no closer than the internal tank.
Thanks
Joe
