These "Safety Alerts" alone cannot eliminate the hazards that they signal. Strict compliance with these spe­cial Instructions plus "common sense" are major accident prevention measures.
NOTICE TO USERS OF THIS MANUAL
This SERVICE MANUAL has been written and published by Generac to aid our dealers' mechanics and com­pany service personnel when servicing the products described herein.
It is assumed that these personnel are familiar with the servicing procedures for these products, or like or similar products manufactured and marketed by Generac. That they have been trained in the recommended servicing procedures for these products, including the use of common hand tools and any special Generac tools or tools from other suppliers.
Generac could not possibly know of and advise the service trade of all conceivable procedures by which a service might be performed and of the possible hazards and/or results of each method. We have not under­taken any such wide evaluation. Therefore, anyone who uses a procedure or tool not recommended by Generac must first satisfy himself that neither his nor the products safety will be endangered by the service procedure selected.
All information, illustrations and specifications in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication.
When working on these products, remember that the electrical system and engine ignition system are capa­ble of violent and damaging short circuits or severe electrical shocks. If you intend to perform work where electrical terminals could be grounded or touched, the battery cables should be disconnected at the battery.
Any time the intake or exhaust openings of the engine are exposed during service, they should be covered to prevent accidental entry of foreign material. Entry of such materials will result in extensive damage when the engine Is started.
During any maintenance procedure, replacement fasteners must have the same measurements and strength as the fasteners that were removed. Metric bolts and nuts have numbers that indicate their strength. Customary bolts use radial lines to indicate strength while most customary nuts do not have strength mark­ings. Mismatched or incorrect fasteners can cause damage, malfunction and possible injury.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Components on Generac recreational vehicle generators are designed and manufactured to comply with Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) Rules and Regulations to minimize the risk of fire or explo­sion. The use of replacement parts that are not in compliance with such Rules and Regulations could result in a fire or explosion hazard. When servicing this equipment, It is extremely important that all components be properly installed and tightened. If Improperly Installed and tightened, sparks could Ignite fuel vapors from fuel system leaks.

MAGNETISM
Magnetism can be used to produce electricity and electricity can be used to produce magnetism.
Much about magnetism cannot be explained by our present knowledge. However, there are certain pat­terns of behavior that are known. Application of these behavior patterns has led to the development of gen­erators, motors and numerous other devices that uti­lize magnetism to produce and use electrical energy.
See Figure 1-1. The space surrounding a magnet is permeated by magnetic lines of force called “flux”. These lines of force are concentrated at the magnet's north and south poles. They are directed away from the magnet at its north pole, travel in a loop and re­enter the magnet at its south pole. The lines of force form definite patterns which vary in intensity depend­ing on the strength of the magnet. The lines of force never cross one another. The area surrounding a magnet in which its lines of force are effective is called a “magnetic field”.
Like poles of a magnet repel each other, while unlike poles attract each other.
Figure 1-1. – Magnetic Lines of Force
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
All conductors through which an electric current Is flowing have a magnetic field surrounding them. This field is always at right angles to the conductor. If a compass is placed near the conductor, the compass needle will move to a right angle with the conductor. The following rules apply:
• The greater the current flow through the conductor, the stronger the magnetic field around the conductor.
• The increase in the number of lines of force is directly proportional to the increase in current flow and the field is distributed along the full length of the conductor.
• The direction of the lines of force around a conduc­tor can be determined by what is called the “right hand rule”. To apply this rule, place your right hand around the conductor with the thumb pointing in the direction of current flow. The fingers will then be pointing in the direction of the lines of force.
NOTE: The “right hand rule” is based on the “cur­rent flow” theory which assumes that current flows from positive to negative. This is opposite the “electron” theory, which states that current flows from negative to positive.
Figure 1-2. – The Right Hand Rule
ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION
An electromotive force (EMF) or voltage can be pro­duced in a conductor by moving the conductor so that it cuts across the lines of force of a magnetic field.
Similarly, if the magnetic lines of force are moved so that they cut across a conductor, an EMF (voltage) will be produced in the conductor. This is the basic principal of the revolving field generator.
Figure 1-3, below, illustrates a simple revolving field generator. The permanent magnet (Rotor) is rotated so that its lines of magnetic force cut across a coil of wires called a Stator. A voltage is then induced into the Stator windings. If the Stator circuit is completed by connecting a load (such as a light bulb), current will flow in the circuit and the bulb will light.
Figure 1-3. – A Simple Revolving Field Generator
Page 3
SSeeccttiioonn 11 GGEENNEERRAATTOORR FFUUNNDDAAMMEENNTTAALLSS
A SIMPLE AC GENERATOR
Figure 1-4 shows a very simple AC Generator. The generator consists of a rotating magnetic field called a ROTOR and a stationary coil of wire called a STA­TOR. The ROTOR is a permanent magnet which con­sists of a SOUTH magnetic pole and a NORTH mag­netic pole.
As the MOTOR turns, its magnetic field cuts across the stationary STATOR. A voltage is induced Into the STATOR windings. When the magnet's NORTH pole passes the STATOR, current flows in one direction. Current flows in the opposite direction when the mag­net's SOUTH pole passes the STATOR. This con­stant reversal of current flow results in an alternating current (AC) waveform that can be diagrammed as shown in Figure 1-5.
The ROTOR may be a 2-pole type having a single NORTH and a single SOUTH magnetic pole. Some ROTORS are 4-pole type with two SOUTH and two NORTH magnetic poles. The following apply:
1. The 2-pole ROTOR must be turned at 3600 rpm to produce an AC frequency of 60 Hertz, or at 3000 rpm to deliver an AC fre­quency of 50 Hertz.
2. The 4-pole ROTOR must operate at 1800 rpm to deliver a 60 Hertz AC frequency or at 1500 rpm to deliver a 50 Hertz AC frequency.
Figure 1-4. – A Simple AC Generator
Figure 1-5. – Alternating Current Sine Wave
A MORE SOPHISTICATED AC GENERATOR
Figure 1-6 represents a more sophisticated genera­tor. A regulated direct current is delivered into the ROTOR windings via carbon BRUSHES AND SLIP RINGS. This results in the creation of a regulated magnetic field around the ROTOR. As a result, a reg­ulated voltage is induced into the STATOR. Regulated current delivered to the ROTOR is called “EXCITATION” current.
Figure 1-6. – A More Sophisticated Generator
See Figure 1-7 (next page). The revolving magnetic field (ROTOR) is driven by the engine at a constant speed. This constant speed is maintained by a mechanical engine governor. Units with a 2-pole rotor require an operating speed of 3600 rpm to deliver a 60 Hertz AC output. Engine governors are set to maintain approximately 3720 rpm when no electrical loads are connected to the generator.
Page 4
SSeeccttiioonn 11
GGEENNEERRAATTOORR FFUUNNDDAAMMEENNTTAALLSS
NOTE: AC output frequency at 3720 rpm will be about 62 Hertz. The “No-Load” is set slightly high to prevent excessive rpm, frequency and voltage droop under heavy electrical loading.
Generator operation may be described briefly as fol­lows:
1. Some “residual” magnetism is normally present in the Rotor and is sufficient to induce approximately 7 to 12 volts AC Into the STATOR's AC power windings.
2. During startup, an engine controller circuit board delivers bat­tery voltage to the ROTOR, via the brushes and slip rings.
a. The battery voltage is called “Field Boost”. b. Flow of direct current through the ROTOR
increases the strength of the magnetic field above that of “residual” magnetism alone.
3. “Residual” plus “Field Boost” magnetism induces a voltage into the Stator excitation (DPE), battery charge and AC Power windings.
4. Excitation winding unregulated AC output is delivered to an electronic voltage regulator, via an excitation circuit breaker.
a. A “Reference” voltage has been preset into
the Voltage Regulator.
b. An “Actual” (“sensing”) voltage is delivered
to the Voltage Regulator via sensing leads from the Stator AC power windings.
c. The Regulator “compares” the actual (sens-
ing) voltage to its pre-set reference voltage.
(1) If the actual (sensing) voltage is greater than the pre-set reference voltage, the Regulator will decrease the regulated cur­rent flow to the Rotor.
(2) If the actual (sensing) voltage is less than the pre-set reference voltage, the Regulator will increase the regulated cur­rent flow to the Rotor.
(3) In the manner described, the Regulator maintains an actual (sensing) voltage that is equal to the pre-set reference voltage.
NOTE: The Voltage Regulator also changes the Stator excitation windings alternating current (AC) output to direct current (DC).
5. When an electrical load is connected across the Stator power windings, the circuit is completed and an electrical current will flow.
6. The Rotor's magnetic field also induces a voltage Into the Stator battery charge windings.
a. Battery charge winding AC output is deliv-
ered to a battery charge rectifier (BCR) which changes the AC to direct current (DC).
b. The rectified DC is then delivered to the unit
battery, to maintain the battery in a charged state.
c. A 1 ohm, 25 watt Resistor is installed in
series with the grounded side of the battery charge circuit.

SSeeccttiioonn 11 GGEENNEERRAATTOORR FFUUNNDDAAMMEENNTTAALLSS
FIELD BOOST
When the engine is cranked during startup, the engine's starter contactor is energized closed. Battery current is then delivered to the starter motor and the engine cranks.
Closure of the starter contactor contacts also delivers battery voltage to Pin 13 of an Engine Controller cir­cuit board. The battery current flows through a 47 ohm, 2 watt resistor and a field boost diode, then to the Rotor via brushes and slip rings. This is called “Field Boost” current.
Field boost current is delivered to the Rotor only while the engine is cranking. The effect is to “flash the field” every time the engine is cranked. Field boost current helps ensure that sufficient “pickup” voltage is avail­able on every startup to turn the Voltage Regulator on and build AC output voltage.
NOTE: Loss of the Field Boost function may or may not result in loss of AC power winding out­put. If Rotor residual magnetism alone is suffi­cient to turn the Regulator on loss of Field Boost may go unnoticed. However, If residual magnet­ism alone Is not enough to turn the Regulator on, loss of the Field Boost function will result In loss of AC power winding output to the load. The AC output voltage will then drop to a value commen­surate with the Rotor's residual magnetism (about 7-12 VAC).
GENERATOR AC CONNECTION SYSTEM
These air-cooled generator sets are equipped with dual stator AC power windings. These two stator wind­ings supply electrical power to customer electrical loads by means of a dual 2-wire connection system.
Generators may be installed to provide the following outputs:
1. 120 VAC loads only — one load with a maximum total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s rated power output (in watts), and 120V across the generator output terminals. Figure
1.8, page 7, shows the generator lead wire connections for 120VAC ONLY.
2. 120/240 VAC loads — one load with a maximum total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s rated power output, and 240V across the generator output terminals; or two separate loads, each with a maximum total wattage requirement equal to half of the generator’s rated power output (in watts), and 120V across the generator output terminals. Figure 1.9 on page 7, shows the generator lead wire connections for 120/240 VAC loads.
You can use your generator set to supply electrical power for operating one of the following electrical loads:
• QUIETPACT 55G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts, sin­gle phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can require up to 5500 watts (5.5 kW) of total power, but cannot exceed 45.8 AC amperes of current at 120 volts or exceed 22.9 AC amperes at 240 volts.
• QUIETPACT 65G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts, sin­gle phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can require up to 6500 watts (6.5 kW) of total power, but cannot exceed 54.1 AC amperes of current at 120 volts or exceed 27 AC amperes at 240 volts.
• QUIETPACT 75G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts, sin­gle phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can require up to 7500 watts (7.5 kW) of total power, but cannot exceed 62.5 AC amperes of current at 120 volts or exceed 31.2 AC amperes at 240 volts.

Figure 1-8. – Connection for 120 Volts Only
RECONNECTION FOR DUAL VOLTAGE OUTPUT: When connected for dual voltage output, Stator out-
put leads 11P and 44 form two “hot” leads (T1- Red and T3- Black). The junction of leads 22P and 33 form the “Neutral” line (T2- White).
For dual voltage output, the “Neutral” line remains grounded.
NOTE: For units with two 30 amp or two 35 amp main breakers, the existing breakers may be re­used when reconnecting for dual voltage output. However, on units with a 30 amp and a 20 amp main breaker, you may wish to install a 2-pole breaker that is rated closer to the unit’s rated capacity (use two 25 amp main breakers).
Figure 1-9 - Connection for 120/240 Volts
NOTE: If this generator has been reconnected for dual voltage AC output (120/240 volts), the replacement line breakers should consist of two separate breakers with a connecting piece between the breaker handles (so that both break­ers operate at the same time). If the unit is recon­nected for dual voltage, it is no longer RVIA listed.

ROTOR ASSEMBLY
The Rotor is sometimes called the “revolving field”, since it provides the magnetic field that induces a voltage into the stationary Stator windings. Slip rings on the Rotor shaft allow excitation current from the voltage regulator to be delivered to the Rotor wind­ings. The Rotor is driven by the engine at a constant speed through a pulley and belt arrangement.
All generator models in this manual utilize a 2-pole Rotor, i.e., one having a single north and a single south pole. This type of Rotor must be driven at 3600 rpm for a 60 Hertz AC output, or at 3000 rpm for a 50 Hertz output.
Slip rings may be cleaned. If dull or tarnished, clean them with fine sandpaper (a 400 grit wet sandpaper is recommended). DO NOT USE ANY METALLIC GRIT OR ABRASIVE TO CLEAN SLIP RINGS.
STATOR ASSEMBLY
The Stator is “sandwiched” between the upper and lower bearing carriers and retained in that position by four Stator studs. Windings Included in the Stator assembly are (a) dual AC power windings, (b) an excitation or DPE winding, and (c) a battery charge winding. A total of eleven (11) leads are brought out of the Stator as follows:
1. Four (4) Stator power winding output leads (Wires No. 11P, 22P, 33 and 44). These leads deliver power to connected elec­trical loads.
2. Stator Power winding “sensing” leads (11S and 22S). These leads deliver an “actual voltage signal to the electronic Voltage Regulator.
Page 8
Figure 2-1. Exploded View of Generator
SSeeccttiioonn 22
MMAAJJOORR GGEENNEERRAATTOORR CCOOMMPPOONNEENNTTSS
3. Two excitation winding output leads (No. 2 and 6). These leads deliver unregulated excitation current to the voltage regulator.
4. Three (3) battery charge output leads (No. 55, 66 and 77).
Figure 2-2. – Stator Output Leads
BRUSH HOLDER
The brush holder is retained in the rear bearing carri­er by two M5 screws. It retains two brushes, which contact the Rotor slip rings and allow current flow from stationary parts to the revolving Rotor. The posi­tive (+) brush is located nearest the Rotor bearing.
Figure 2-3. – Brush Holder
BATTERY CHARGE COMPONENTS
The Stator incorporates dual battery charge windings. A battery charge rectifier (BCR) changes the AC out­put of these windings to direct current (DC). Battery charge winding output is delivered to the unit battery
via the rectifier, a 7.5 amp fuse and Wire No. 13. A 1 ohm, 25 watt resistor is connected in series with the grounded side of the circuit.
Figure 2-4. – Battery Charge Circuit
EXCITATION CIRCUIT COMPONENTS
GENERAL: During operation, the Rotor's magnetic field induces a
voltage and current flow into the Stator excitation winding. The resultant AC output is delivered to a voltage regulator via an excitation circuit breaker (CB3).

EXCITATION CIRCUIT BREAKER: The excitation circuit breaker (CB3) is self-resetting

Rotor will be lost. The unit’s AC output voltage will then drop to a value commensurate with the Rotor's residual magnetism (about 7-12 VAC).
Figure 2-6. – Excitation Circuit Breaker
VOLTAGE REGULATOR: Six (6) leads are connected to the voltage regulator
as follows:
• Two (2) SENSING leads deliver ACTUAL AC out­put voltage signals to the regulator. These are Wires No. 11S and 22S.
• Two (2) leads (4 and 0K) deliver the regulated direct current to the Rotor, via brushes and slip rings.
• Two (2) leads (No. 6 and 2A) deliver Stator excita­tion winding AC output to the regulator.
Figure 2-7. – Voltage Regulator
The regulator mounts a “VOLTAGE ADJUST” poten­tiometer, used for adjustment of the pre-set REFER­ENCE voltage. A lamp (LED) will turn on to indicate that SENSING voltage is available to the regulator and the regulator is turned on.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: With the frequency set at 62.5 Hertz and no load on
the generator, slowly turn the voltage adjust pot on the voltage regulator until 124 VAC is measured. If voltage is not adjustable, proceed to Section 6 ­Troubleshooting; Problem 2.
NOTE: If, for any reason, sensing voltage to the regulator is lost, the regulator will shut down and excitation output to the Rotor will be lost. The AC output voltage will then drop to a value that is commensurate with Rotor residual magnetism (about 7-12 VAC). Without this automatic shut­down feature, loss of sensing (actual) voltage to the regulator would result in a “full field” or “full excitation” condition and an extremely high AC output voltage.
NOTE: Adjustment of the regulator's “VOLTAGE ADJUST” potentiometer must be done only when the unit is running at its correct governed no-load speed. Speed is correct when the unit's no-load AC output frequency is about 62.5 Hertz. At the stated frequency, AC output voltage should be about 124 volts.
CRANKCASE BREATHER

elbow. The breather chamber contains a removable oil vapor collector. Oil vapor is condensed on the col­lector material and drains back into the crankcase, which minimizes the amount of oil vapor entering the breather.
CHECK BREATHER:
1. Disconnect breather tube and remove four screws and breather. Discard gasket.
2. Check to see that reed valve is not deformed (Figure 2-8).
Note: Reed valve must form a complete seal around vent hole.
3. Remove oil vapor collector and retainer.
4. Check collector for deterioration and replace if necessary.

1. Install oil vapor collector and retainer.
Note: Push oil vapor collector and retainer in until it bottoms.
2. Install breather with new gasket (Figure 2-8).
a. Torque screws to 5-8 ft-lbs.

EFFECTS OF DIRT AND MOISTURE
Moisture and dirt are detrimental to the continued good operation of any generator set.
If moisture is allowed to remain in contact with the Stator and Rotor windings, some of the moisture will be retained in voids and cracks of the winding Insulation. This will result in a reduced Insulation resistance and, eventually, the unit's AC output will be affected.
Insulation used in the generator is moisture resistant. However, prolonged exposure to moisture will gradu­ally reduce the resistance of the winding insulation.
Dirt can make the problem worse, since it tends to hold moisture Into contact with the windings. Salt, as from sea air, contributes to the problem since salt can absorb moisture from the air. When salt and moisture combine, they make a good electrical conductor.
Because of the detrimental affects of dirt and mois­ture, the generator should be kept as clean and as dry as possible. Rotor and Stator windings should be tested periodically with an insulation resistance tester (such as a megohmmeter or hi-pot tester).
If the Insulation resistance is excessively low, drying may be required to remove accumulated moisture. After drying, perform a second insulation resistance test. If resistance is still low after drying, replacement of the defective Rotor or Stator may be required.
INSULATION RESISTANCE TESTERS
Figure 3-1 shows one kind of hi-pot tester. The tester shown has a “Breakdown” lamp that will glow during the test procedure to indicate an insulation break­down in the winding being tested.

DRYING THE GENERATOR
GENERAL: If tests indicate the insulation resistance of a winding
is below a safe value, the winding should be dried before operating the generator. Some recommended drying procedures Include (a) heating units and (b) forced air.
HEATING UNITS: If drying is needed, the generator can be enclosed in
a covering. Heating units can then be installed to raise the temperature about 15°-18° F. (8°-10° C.) above ambient temperature.
FORCED AIR: Portable forced air heaters can be used to dry the
generator. Direct the heated air into the generator’s air intake openings. Remove the voltage regulator and run the unit at no-load. Air temperature at the point of entry into the generator should not exceed 150° F. (66° C.).
CLEANING THE GENERATOR
GENERAL: The generator can be cleaned properly only while it is
disassembled. The cleaning method used should be determined by the type of dirt to be removed. Be sure to dry the unit after it has been cleaned.
NOTE: A shop that repairs electric motors may be able to assist you with the proper cleaning of gen­erator windings. Such shops are often experi­enced In special problems such as a sea coast environment, marine or wetland applications, mining, etc.
USING SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING: If dirt contains oil or grease a solvent is generally
required. Only petroleum distillates should be used to clean electrical components. Recommended are safety type petroleum solvents having a flash point greater than 100° F. (38° C.).

CLOTH OR COMPRESSED AIR: For small parts or when dry dirt is to be removed, a
dry cloth may be satisfactory. Wipe the parts clean, then use low pressure air at 30 psi (206 Kpa) to blow dust away.
BRUSHING AND VACUUM CLEANING: Brushing with a soft bristle brush followed by vacuum
cleaning is a good method of removing dust and dirt. Use the soft brush to loosen the dirt, then remove it with the vacuum.
STATOR INSULATION RESISTANCE
GENERAL: Insulation resistance is a measure of the Integrity of
the insulating materials that separate electrical wind­ings from the generator's steel core. This resistance can degrade over time due to the presence of conta­minants, dust, dirt, grease and especially moisture).
The normal Insulation resistance for generator wind­ings is on the order of “millions of ohms” or “megohms”.
When checking the insulation resistance, follow the tester manufacturer's Instructions carefully. Do NOT exceed the applied voltages recommended in this manual. Do NOT apply the voltage longer than one (1) second.

STATOR SHORT-TO-GROUND TESTS: See Figure 3-2. To test the Stator for a short-to-
ground condition, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect and Isolate all Stator leads as follows:
a. Disconnect sensing leads 11S and 22S
from the voltage regulator.
b. Disconnect excitation winding lead No. 6
from the voltage regulator.
c. Disconnect excitation lead No. 2 from the
excitation circuit breaker (CB3).
d. Disconnect battery charge winding leads
No. 66 and 77 from the battery charge recti­fier (BCR).
e. Disconnect battery charge winding lead No.
55 from the battery charge resistor (R1).
f. At the main circuit breakers, disconnect AC
power leads No. 11P and 33.
g. At the 4-tab ground terminal (GT), discon-
nect Stator power leads No. 22P and 44.
2. When all leads have been disconnected as outlined in Step 1 above, test for a short-to-ground condition as follows:
a. Connect the terminal ends of all Stator
leads together (11S, 22S, 11P, 22P, 33, 44, 2,6, 55, 66, 77).
b. Follow the tester manufacturer's instructions
carefully. Connect the tester leads across all Stator leads and to frame ground on the Stator can. Apply a voltage of 1500 volts. Do NOT apply voltage longer than one (1) second.
If the test Indicates a breakdown in Insulation, the Stator should be cleaned, dried and re-tested. If the winding fails the second test (after cleaning and dry­ing), replace the Stator assembly.
TEST BETWEEN ISOLATED WINDINGS:
1. Follow the tester manufacturer's instructions carefully. Connect the tester test leads across Stator leads No. 11P and 2. Apply a voltage of 1500 volts- DO NOT EXCEED 1 SECOND.
2. Repeat Step 1 with the tester leads connected across the fol­lowing Stator leads:
a. Across Wires No. 33 and 2. b. Across Wires No. 11P and 66. c. Across Wires No. 33 and 66. d. Across Wires No. 2 and 66.
If a breakdown in the insulation between isolated windings is indicated, clean and dry the Stator. Then, repeat the test. If the Stator fails the second test, replace the Stator assembly.
Page 13

TEST BETWEEN PARALLEL WINDINGS: Connect the tester leads across Stator leads No. 11P
and 33. Apply a voltage of 1500 volts. If an insulation breakdown is indicated, clean and dry the Stator. Then, repeat the test between parallel windings. If the Stator fails the second test, replace it.
Figure 3-2. – Stator Leads
TESTING ROTOR INSULATION
To test the Rotor for insulation breakdown, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect wires from the Rotor brushes or remove the brush holders with brushes.
2. Connect the tester positive (+) test lead to the positive (+) slip ring (nearest the Rotor bearing). Connect the tester negative (-) test lead to a clean frame ground (like the Rotor shaft).
Figure 3-3. – Rotor Test Points
3. Apply 1000 volts. DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE LONGER THAN 1 SECOND.
If an insulation breakdown is indicated, clean and dry the Rotor then repeat the test. Replace the Rotor if it fails the second test (after cleaning and drying).
THE MEGOHMMETER
GENERAL: A megohmmeter, often called a “megger”, consists of
a meter calibrated in megohms and a power supply. Use a power supply of 1500 volts when testing Stators; or 1000 volts when testing the Rotor. DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE LONGER THAN ONE (1) SECOND.
TESTING STATOR INSULATION: All parts that might be damaged by the high megger
voltages must be disconnected before testing. Isolate all Stator leads (Figure 3-2) and connect all of the Stator leads together. FOLLOW THE MEGGER MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
Use a megger power setting of 1500 volts. Connect one megger test lead to the junction of all Stator leads, the other test lead to frame ground on the Stator can. Read the number of megohms on the meter.

The MINIMUM acceptable megger reading for Stators may be calculated using the following formula:
EXAMPLE: Generator is rated at 120 volts AC. Divide “120” by “1000” to obtain “0.12”. Then add “1” to obtain “1.12” megohms. Minimum Insulation resistance for a 120 VAC Stator Is 1.12 megohms.
If the Stator insulation resistance is less than the cal­culated minimum resistance, clean and dry the Stator. Then, repeat the test. If resistance is still low, replace the Stator.
Use the Megger to test for shorts between isolated windings as outlined “Stator Insulation Resistance”.
Also test between parallel windings. See “Test Between Parallel Windings”on this page.
TESTING ROTOR INSULATION: Apply a voltage of 1000 volts across the Rotor posi-
tive (+) slip ring (nearest the rotor bearing), and a clean frame ground (i.e. the Rotor Shaft). DO NOT EXCEED 1000 VOLTS AND DO NOT APPLY VOLT­AGE LONGER THAN 1 SECOND. FOLLOW THE MEGGER MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

METERS
Devices used to measure electrical properties are called meters. Meters are available that allow one to measure (a) AC voltage, (b) DC voltage, (c) AC fre­quency, and (d) resistance In ohms. The following apply:
To measure AC voltage, use an AC voltmeter. To measure DC voltage, use a DC voltmeter. Use a frequency meter to measure AC frequency In
“Hertz” or “cycles per second”..
Use an ohmmeter to read circuit resistance, in
“ohms”.
THE VOM
A meter that will permit both voltage and resistance to be read is the “volt-ohm-milliammeter” or “VOM”.
Some VOM's are of the “analog” type (not shown). These meters display the value being measured by physically deflecting a needle across a graduated scale. The scale used must be Interpreted by the user.
“Digital” VOM's (Figure 4-1) are also available and are generally very accurate. Digital meters display the measured values directly by converting the values to numbers.
NOTE: Standard AC voltmeters react to the AVER­AGE value of alternating current. When working with AC, the effective value is used. For that rea­son a different scale is used on an AC voltmeter. The scale is marked with the effective or “rms” value even though the meter actually reacts to the average value. That is why the AC voltmeter will give an Incorrect reading if used to measure direct current (DC).
Figure 4-1. – Digital VOM
MEASURING AC VOLTAGE
An accurate AC voltmeter or a VOM may be used to read the generator's AC output voltage. The following apply:
1. Always read the generator's AC output voltage only at the unit's rated operating speed and AC frequency.
2. The generator's voltage regulator can be adjusted for correct output voltage only while the unit is operating at its correct rated speed and frequency.
3. Only an AC voltmeter may be used to measure AC voltage. DO NOT USE A DC VOLTMETER FOR THIS PURPOSE.

MEASURING DC VOLTAGE
A DC voltmeter or a VOM may be used to measure DC voltages. Always observe the following rules:
1. Always observe correct DC polarity.
a. Some VOM's may be equipped with a polar-
ity switch.
b. On meters that do not have a polarity
switch, DC polarity must be reversed by reversing the test leads.
2. Before reading a DC voltage, always set the meter to a higher voltage scale than the anticipated reading. if in doubt, start at the highest scale and adjust the scale downward until correct readings are obtained.
3. The design of some meters is based on the “current flow” theo­ry while others are based on the “electron flow” theory.
a. The “current flow” theory assumes that
direct current flows from the positive (+) to the negative (-).
b. The “electron flow” theory assumes that
current flows from negative (-) to positive (+).
NOTE: When testing generators, the “current flow” theory is applied. That is, current is assumed to flow from positive (+) to negative (-).
Page 15
SSeeccttiioonn 44 MMEEAASSUURRIINNGG EELLEECCTTRRIICCIITTYY
MEASURING AC FREQUENCY
The generator's AC output frequency is proportional to Rotor speed. Generators equipped with a 2-pole Rotor must operate at 3600 rpm to supply a frequen­cy of 60 Hertz. Units with 4-pole Rotor must run at 1800 rpm to deliver 60 Hertz.
Correct engine and Rotor speed is maintained by an engine speed governor. For models rated 60 Hertz, the governor is generally set to maintain a no-load frequency of about 62 Hertz with a corresponding out­put voltage of about 124 volts AC line-to-neutral. Engine speed and frequency at no-load are set slight­ly high to prevent excessive rpm and frequency droop under heavy electrical loading.
MEASURING CURRENT
To read the current flow, in AMPERES, a clamp-on ammeter may be used. This type of meter indicates current flow through a conductor by measuring the strength of the magnetic field around that conductor. The meter consists essentially of a current trans­former with a split core and a rectifier type instrument connected to the secondary. The primary of the cur­rent transformer is the conductor through which the current to be measured flows. The split core allows the Instrument to be clamped around the conductor without disconnecting it.
Current flowing through a conductor may be mea­sured safely and easily. A line-splitter can be used to measure current in a cord without separating the con­ductors.
Figure 4-2. – Clamp-On Ammeter
Figure 4-3. – A Line-Splitter
NOTE: If the physical size of the conductor or ammeter capacity does not permit all lines to be measured simultaneously, measure current flow in each individual line. Then, add the Individual readings.
MEASURING RESISTANCE
The volt-ohm-milliammeter may be used to measure the resistance in a circuit. Resistance values can be very valuable when testing coils or windings, such as the Stator and Rotor windings.
When testing Stator windings, keep in mind that the resistance of these windings is very low. Some meters are not capable of reading such a low resis­tance and will simply read “continuity”.
If proper procedures are used, the following condi­tions can be detected using a VOM:
A “short-to-ground” condition in any Stator or Rotor
winding.
Shorting together of any two parallel Stator wind-
ings.
Shorting together of any two isolated Stator wind-
ings.
An open condition in any Stator or Rotor winding.
Component testing may require a specific resistance value or a test for “infinity” or “continuity.” Infinity is an OPEN condition between two electrical points, which would read as no resistance on a VOM. Continuity is a closed condition between two electrical points, which would be indicated as very low resistance or “ZERO” on a VOM.

ELECTRICAL UNITS
AMPERE: The rate of electron flow in a circuit is represented by
the AMPERE. The ampere is the number of electrons flowing past a given point at a given time. One AMPERE is equal to just slightly more than six thou­sand million billion electrons per second.
With alternating current (AC), the electrons flow first in one direction, then reverse and move in the oppo­site direction. They will repeat this cycle at regular intervals. A wave diagram, called a “sine wave” shows that current goes from zero to maximum posi­tive value, then reverses and goes from zero to maxi­mum negative value. Two reversals of current flow is called a cycle. The number of cycles per second is called frequency and is usually stated in “Hertz”.
VOLT: The VOLT is the unit used to measure electrical
PRESSURE, or the difference in electrical potential that causes electrons to flow. Very few electrons will flow when voltage is weak. More electrons will flow as voltage becomes stronger. VOLTAGE may be consid­ered to be a state of unbalance and current flow as an attempt to regain balance. One volt is the amount of EMF that will cause a current of 1 ampere to flow through 1 ohm of resistance.
Figure 4-4. – Electrical Units
OHM: The OHM is the unit of RESISTANCE. In every circuit
there is a natural resistance or opposition to the flow of electrons. When an EMF is applied to a complete circuit, the electrons are forced to flow in a single direction rather than their free or orbiting pattern. The resistance of a conductor depends on (a) its physical makeup, (b) its cross-sectional area, (c) its length, and (d) its temperature. As the conductor's tempera­ture increases, its resistance increases in direct pro­portion. One (1) ohm of resistance will permit one (1) ampere of current to flow when one (1) volt of electro­motive force (EMF) is applied.
OHM'S LAW
A definite and exact relationship exists between VOLTS, OHMS and AMPERES. The value of one can be calculated when the value of the other two are known. Ohm's Law states that in any circuit the current will increase when voltage increases but resistance remains the same, and current will decrease when resistance Increases and voltage remains the same.

If AMPERES is unknown while VOLTS and OHMS are known, use the following formula:

If VOLTS is unknown while AMPERES and OHMS are known, use the following formula:

INTRODUCTION
The engine DC control system includes all com­ponents necessary for the operation of the engine. Operation includes rest, priming, crank­ing, starting, running and shutdown. The system is shown schematically.
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
CIRCUIT CONDITION- REST:
Battery voltage is available to the engine controller cir­cuit board (PCB) from the unit BATTERY and via (a) the RED battery cable, Wire 13, a 7.5 amp FUSE (F1), Wire 15 and circuit board Terminal J3. However, circuit board action is holding the circuit open and no action can occur.
Battery output is available to the contacts of a STARTER CONTACTOR (SC) and STARTER CON­TACTOR RELAY (SCR), but the contacts are open.
Battery voltage is also delivered to the FUEL PRIMER SWITCH (SW2). The switch is open and the circuit is incomplete.
Battery voltage is also available to the REMOTE FUEL PRIMER SWITCH. The switch is open and the circuit is incomplete.

Page 19
CIRCUIT CONDITION- PRIMING:
When the FUEL PRIMER SWITCH (SW2) or the REMOTE PANEL FUEL PRIMER is closed by the oper­ator, battery voltage is delivered across the closed switch contacts and to the FUEL PUMP (FP) via Wire 14A. The FUEL SOLENOID (FS) will be energized via Wire 14 during cranking and running.
SSeeccttiioonn 55 EENNGGIINNEE DDCC CCOONNTTRROOLL SSYYSSTTEEMM
Page 20
CIRCUIT CONDITION- CRANKING:
When the START-STOP-SWITCH (SW1)or REMOTE PANEL START SWITCH is held at “START” position, Wire 17 from the Engine controller circuit board is con­nected to frame Ground. Circuit board action will then deliver battery voltage to a STARTER CONTACTOR RELAY (SCR) via wire 56, and to a automatic CHOKE SOLENOID (CS) via Wire 90.
When battery voltage energizes the STARTER CON­TACTOR RELAY (SCR), Its contacts close and battery output is delivered to the STARTER CONTACTOR (SC) via Wire 16. The STARTER CONTACTOR (SC) ener­gizes and its contacts close, battery output is delivered to the STARTER MOTOR (SM) via Wire 16.The STARTER MOTOR energizes and the engine cranks.
When the STARTER CONTACTOR RELAY (SCR) closes, Battery voltage is also delivered to the circuit board pin location J1-13 via Wire 16. This voltage is reduced and used for field boost and is outputted from pin location J1-9.
While cranking, the CHOKE SOLENOID (CS) is ener­gized cyclically by circuit board action (two seconds on, two seconds off).
Also while cranking, circuit board action energizes CIRCUIT BOARD TERMINAL J2 and delivers battery voltage to the Wire 14/14A circuit. This energizes the FUEL PUMP (FP) ,FUEL SOLENOID (FS) and CHOKE HEATER (CH) and optional light or hourmeter in remote panel.
Circuit board action holds open Wire 18A to common ground. The Magneto will induce a spark during cranking.

CIRCUIT CONDITION-RUNNING:
With the FUEL PUMP (FP) and FUEL SOLENOID (FS) operating and ignition occurring, the engine should start, and the START-STOP SWITCH (SW1) is released.
A voltage is induced into the Stator's BATTERY CHARGE WINDING. This voltage is delivered to the ENGINE CONTROLLER BOARD (PCB) via Wire 66 to prevent STARTER MOTOR engagement above a cer­tain rpm.
Circuit board action terminates DC output to the STARTER CONTACTOR RELAY (SCR), which then de-energizes to end cranking. Circuit board action ter­minates DC output to the CHOKE SOLENOID (CS). The choke will go to a position determined by the CHOKE HEATER (CH).
The LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH (LOP) is nor­mally closed. After start-up, engine oil pressure will open the LOP.

Page 22
CIRCUIT CONDITION- SHUTDOWN:
Setting the START-STOP SWITCH (SW1) or the REMOTE PANEL START-STOP SWITCH to its “STOP” position connects the Wire 18 circuit to frame ground. Circuit board action then closes the circuit to Wire 18A, grounding the ignition magneto. Circuit board action de-energizes DC output to Terminal J2. The FUEL PUMP (FP), FUEL SOLENOID (FS) and CHOKE HEATER (CH) are de-energized by the loss of DC to Wire 14. Ignition and fuel flow terminate and the engine shuts down.

Page 23
CIRCUIT CONDITION- FAULT SHUTDOWN: The engine mounts a HIGH OIL TEMPERA-
TURE SWITCH (HTO) and a LOW OIL PRES­SURE SWITCH (LOP).
Should engine oil temperature exceed a pre­set value, the switch contacts will close. Wire 85 from the circuit board will connect to frame ground. Circuit board action will then initiate a shutdown.
Should engine oil pressure drop below a safe pre-set value, the switch contacts will close. On contact closure, Wire 85 will be connected to frame ground and circuit board action will initiate an engine shutdown.
The circuit board has a time delay built into it for the Wire 85 fault shutdowns. At STARTUP ONLY the circuit board will wait approximately 6 seconds before looking at the Wire 85 fault shutdowns. Once running after the 6 second time delay, grounding Wire 85 thru either switch will cause an immediate shutdown.

ing, startup, running and shutdown operations. The board interconnects with other components of the DC control system to turn them on and off at the proper times. It is powered by fused 12 VDC power from the unit battery.
CIRCUIT BOARD CONNECTIONS: The circuit board mounts a 15-pin receptacle (J1) and
two single pin terminals (J2 and J3, see Figure 5.3). Figure 5-2 shows the 15-pin receptacle (J1), the asso­ciated wires and the function(s) of each pin and wire.

In addition to the 15-pin receptacle (J1), the circuit board is equipped with two single pin terminals (J2 and J3). These terminals may be identified as follows:
1. Wire 14 connects to Terminal J2. During cranking and running, the circuit board delivers battery voltage to the Wire 14 circuit for the following functions:
a. To operate the electric Fuel Pump (FP). b. To energize the Fuel Solenoid. c. To operate the Choke Heater. d. To the Remote Wire Harness to operate an
hourmeter or a light.
2. Wire 15 connects to Terminal J3. This is the power supply (12 VDC) for the circuit board and the DC control system.

BATTERY
RECOMMENDED BATTERY: When anticipated ambient temperatures will be con-
sistently above 32° F. (0° C.), use a 12 volts automo­tive type storage battery rated 70 amp-hours and capable of delivering at least 400 cold cranking amperes.
If ambient temperatures will be below 32° (0° C.), use a 12 volt battery rated 95 amp-hours and having a cold cranking capacity of 400 amperes.
BATTERY CABLES: Use of battery cables that are too long or too small in
diameter will result in excessive voltage drop. For best cold weather starting, voltage drop between the battery and starter should not exceed 0.12 volt per 100 amperes of cranking current.
Select the battery cables based on total cable length and prevailing ambient temperature. Generally, the longer the cable and the colder the weather, the larg­er the required cable diameter.

EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE: Battery efficiency is greatly reduced by a decreased
electrolyte temperature. Such low temperatures have a decided numbing effect on the electrochemical action. Under high discharge rates (such as crank­ing), battery voltage will drop to much lower values in cold temperatures than in warmer temperatures. The freezing point of battery electrolyte fluid is affected by the state of charge of the electrolyte as indicated below:
SSPPEECCIIFFIICC GGRRAAVVIITTYY FFRREEEEZZIINNGG PPOOIINNTT
1.220 -35° F. (-37° C.)
1.200 --20° F. (-29° C.)
1.160 0° F. (-18° C.)
ADDING WATER: Water is lost from a battery as a result of charging
and discharging and must be replaced. If the water is not replaced and the plates become exposed, they may become permanently sulfated. In addition, the plates cannot take full part in the battery action unless they are completely immersed in electrolyte. Add only DISTILLED WATER to the battery. DO NOT USE TAP WATER.
NOTE: Water cannot be added to some “mainte­nance-free” batteries.
CHECKING BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE: Use an automotive type battery hydrometer to test the
battery state of charge. Follow the hydrometer manu­facturer's instructions carefully. Generally, a battery may be considered fully charged when the specific gravity of its electrolyte is 1.260. If the hydrometer used does not have a “Percentage of Charge” scale, compare the readings obtained with the following:
SSPPEECCIIFFIICC GGRRAAVVIITTYY PPEERRCCEENNTTAAGGEE OOFF CCHHAARRGGEE
1.260 100%
1.230 75%
1.200 50%
1.170 25%
CHARGING A BATTERY: Use an automotive type battery charger to recharge a
battery. Battery fluid is an extremely corrosive, sulfu­ric acid solution that can cause severe burns. For that reason, the following precautions must be observed:
The area in which the battery is being charged must
be well ventilated. When charging a battery, an explosive gas mixture forms in each cell.
Do not smoke or break a live circuit near the top of
the battery. Sparking could cause an explosion.
Avoid spillage of battery fluid. If spillage occurs,
flush the affected area with clear water immediately.
Wear eye protection when handling a battery.
7.5 AMP FUSE
This panel-mounted Fuse protects the DC control circuit against overload and possible damage. If the Fuse has melted open due to an overload, nei­ther the priming function nor the cranking function will be available.
FUEL PRIMER SWITCH
Following generator installation and after the unit has been idle for some time, the fuel supply line may be empty. This condition will require a long cranking peri­od before fuel can reach the carburetor. The Fuel Primer Switch, when actuated to its “PRIME” position will deliver battery voltage across the closed switch contacts to the Fuel Pump (FP) to turn the Pump on. Pump action will then draw fuel from the supply tank to prime the fuel lines and carburetor.
Figure 5-5. – Primer Switch
START-STOP SWITCH
The Start-Stop Switch allows the operator to control cranking, startup and shutdown. The following wires connect to the Start-Stop Switch:
1. Wire No. 17 from the Engine Controller circuit board. This Is the CRANK and START circuit. When the Switch is set to 'START”, Wire 17 is connected to frame ground via Wire OB.
a. With wire 17 grounded, a Crank Relay on
the circuit board energizes and battery volt-

age is delivered to the Starter Contactor Relay via Wire 56.The Starter Contactor Relay energizes, its contacts close and the Starter Contactor is energized via wire 16. Its contacts close and the engine cranks.
b. With Wire 17 grounded, a Run Relay on the
circuit board energizes and battery voltage is delivered to the Wire 14 circuit. Battery voltage is delivered to the Fuel Pump, Fuel Solenoid, Choke Heater and the Remote Harness.
2.Wire 18 from the Engine Controller board. This Is the ENGINE STOP circuit. When the Start-Stop Switch is set to “STOP”, Wire 18 is connected to frame ground via Wire No. 0B. Circuit board action then opens the circuit to Wire 14, and grounds Wire 18A. Fuel flow to the carburetor and igni­tion are terminated.
3. Wire 0B connects the Switch to frame ground.

STARTER CONTACTOR RELAY
& STARTER MOTOR
The positive (+) battery cable attaches to the large lug on the STARTER CONTACTOR. Wire 13 then attaches to one side of the STARTER CONTACTOR RELAY contact, from this point Wire 13 attaches to the fuse F1 to supply battery voltage to the DC con­trol system. The opposite side of the starter contactor relay contact is connected to Wire 16.
Wire 16 will supply battery power to the starter con­tactor and to the engine controller board for field flash when the starter contactor relay is energized. Attached to the starter contactor relay coil is wire 56 (positive supply during cranking) and wire 0 (ground).
When the Start-Stop switch is set to “START”, the cir­cuit board delivers battery voltage to the Starter Contactor Relay via Wire 56.The Starter Contactor Relay energizes, its contacts close and the Starter Contactor is energized via wire 16. Its contacts close and battery voltage is available to the starter motor, and the engine cranks.

INTRODUCTION
The “Diagnostic Tests” in this chapter may be per­formed in conjunction with the “Flow Charts” of Section 6. Test numbers in this chapter correspond to the numbered tests in the “Flow Charts”.
Tests 1 through 17 are procedures Involving prob­lems with the generator's AC output voltage and fre­quency (Problems 1 through 4 in the “Flow Charts”).
Tests 18 through 42 are procedures involving prob­lems with engine operation (Problems 5 through 9 in the “Troubleshooting Flow Charts”).
You may wish to read Section 4, “Measuring Electricity”.
NOTE: Test procedures in this Manual are not necessarily the only acceptable methods for diag­nosing the condition of components and circuits. All possible methods that might be used for sys­tem diagnosis have not been evaluated. If you use any diagnostic method other than the method presented in this Manual, you must ensure that neither your safety nor the product's safety will be endangered by the procedure or method you have selected.
TEST 1- CHECK NO-LOAD VOLTAGE AND
FREQUENCY
DISCUSSION: The first step in analyzing any problem with the AC
generator is to determine the unit's AC output voltage and frequency. Once that has been done, you will know how to proceed with specific diagnostic tests.
PROCEDURE:
1. Set a volt-ohm-milliammeter (VOM) to read AC voltage. Connect the meter test leads across customer connection leads T1 (Red) and T2 (White).
2. Disconnect or turn OFF all electrical loads. Initial checks and adjustments are accomplished at no-load.
3. Start the engine, let it stabilize and warm up.
4. Read the AC voltage.
5. Connect an AC frequency meter across AC output leads T1 (Red) and T2 (White). Repeat the above procedure.
RESULTS: For units rated 60 Hertz, no-load voltage and frequen-
cy should be approximately 122-126 VAC and 61-63 Hertz respectively.
1. If AC voltage and frequency are BOTH correspondingly high or low, go to Test 2.
2. If AC frequency is good but low or residual voltage is indicated, go to Test 3.
3. If AC output voltage and frequency are both “zero”, go to Test 12.
4. If the no-load voltage and frequency are within the stated limits, go to Test 13.
NOTE: The term “low voltage” refers to any volt­age reading that is lower than the unit's rated voltage. The term “residual voltage” refers to the output voltage supplied as a result of Rotor resid­ual magnetism (approximately 5-12 VAC).
TEST 2- CHECK ENGINE GOVERNOR
DISCUSSION: Rotor operating speed and AC output frequency are
proportional. The generator will deliver a frequency of 60 Hertz at 3600 Rotor rpm or 62 Hertz at 3720 Rotor rpm.
The Voltage Regulator should be adjusted to deliver 120 VAC (line-to-neutral) at a frequency of 60 Hertz or 124 VAC (line-to-neutral at 62 Hertz. It is apparent that, if governed speed is high or low, AC frequency and voltage will be correspondingly high or low. Governed speed at no-load is usually set slightly above the rated speed of 60 Hertz (to 62 Hertz), to prevent excessive rpm, frequency and voltage droop under heavy electrical loading.
Figure 7-1. – Governor Adjustment Points
Page 38
SSeeccttiioonn 77
DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
GOVERNOR ADJUSTMENT
1. Loosen the GOVERNOR CLAMP BOLT.
2. Push Spring end of GOVERNOR LEVER clockwise to wide open throttle position of lever.
a.Hold the GOVERNOR LEVER at wide open
throttle and, with a pair of pliers, rotate the GOVERNOR SHAFT fully clockwise (CW). Use a minimum amount of force against the gover­nor shaft.
b.While holding the GOVERNOR SHAFT fully
clockwise and the GOVERNOR LEVER at wide open throttle, tighten the GOVERNOR CLAMP BOLT to 70 inch-pounds (8 N-m).
3. Start engine, let it stabilize and warm up at no-load.
4. Turn the ADJUSTER NUT to obtain a frequency reading of 62 Hertz.
5. Determine if the GOVERNOR SPRING is properly located in the slot of the GOVERNOR LEVER as follows:
a.If droop is excessive, move the GOVERNOR
SPRING down one slot on LEVER.
b. For greater stability, move the GOVERNOR SPRING up one
slot on LEVER.
6. After repositioning the SPRING on a LEVER slot, recheck fre­quency reading and, if necessary, readjust ADJUSTER NUT to obtain 62 Hertz at no-load.
7. When frequency is correct at no-load, check the AC voltage reading. If voltage is incorrect, the voltage regulator may require adjustment. See “VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT,” Page 10.
TEST 3- TEST EXCITATION CIRCUIT
BREAKER
DISCUSSION: This circuit breaker (CB3) is normally closed and self-
resetting. It will open in the event of excessive current from the Stator excitation (DPE) winding. The circuit breaker should re-close or reset automatically after it cools down (takes approximately two minutes).
When the breaker (CB3) is open, excitation current to the Regulator (and to the Rotor) will be lost. The unit's AC output voltage will then drop to a value that is commensurate with the Rotor's residual magnetism (about 5-12 volts AC). This test will determine if the breaker has failed in its open position.
PROCEDURE:
Note: After running the unit, allow two minutes for the breaker to reset.
1. Set a volt-ohm-milliammeter (VOM) to its “Rx1” scale and zero the meter.
Figure 7-2. – Excitation “DPE” Circuit Breaker
2. In the generator panel, locate the excitation circuit breaker. Disconnect Wire 2 and Wire 2A from the breaker terminals.
3. Connect the meter test leads across the two circuit breaker (CB3) terminals. The meter should indicate “continuity”.
RESULTS:
1. If the meter did NOT read “continuity”, replace the excitation (DPE) circuit breaker (CB3), and go to Test 4.
2. If “continuity” was indicated, go to Test 4.
TEST 4- FIXED EXCITATION TEST/ROTOR
AMP DRAW
DISCUSSION: The fixed excitation test consists of applying battery
voltage (12 VDC) to the Rotor windings. This allows that portion of the excitation circuit between the Voltage Regulator and the Rotor (including the Rotor itself) to be checked as a possible cause of the prob­lem. When battery voltage is applied to the Rotor, the resulting magnetic field around the Rotor should induce a Stator power winding voltage equal to about one-half the unit's rated output voltage.
Figure 7-3. – Fixed Excitation Test
Page 39
SSeeccttiioonn 77 DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
PROCEDURE:
1. Disconnect Wire 4 from the Voltage Regulator (VR). (Third ter­minal from the top of VR).
2. Connect a jumper wire to Wire 4 and to the 12 volt fused battery positive supply Wire 15 (Wire 15 located at fuse (F1) holder).
3. Set the VOM to measure AC voltage.
4. Disconnect Wire 2 from the DPE breaker (CB3) and connect one test lead to that wire. Disconnect Wire 6 from the Voltage Regulator and connect the other test lead to that wire. Start the generator and measure the AC voltage. It should be above 60 volts. Record the results and stop the generator.
5. Re-connect Wire 2 to the DPE Circuit Breaker (CB3) and re­connect Wire 6 to the Voltage Regulator.
6. Disconnect Wire 11 from the Voltage Regulator (VR) and con­nect one test lead to that wire. Disconnect Wire 22 from the Voltage Regulator and connect the other test lead to that wire. Start the generator and measure the AC voltage. It should be above 60 volts. Record the results and stop the generator.
7. Re-connect Wire 11 and Wire 22 to the Voltage Regulator.
8. Remove the jumper wire between Wire 4 and 12 volt supply.
9. Set the VOM to measure DC amps.
10. Connect one test lead to the 12 volt fused battery supply Wire 15, and connect the other test lead to Wire 4 (should still be disconnected from the VR).
11. Start the generator. Measure the DC current. Record the rotor amp draw.
12. Stop the generator. Re-connect Wire 4 to the Voltage Regulator.
RESULTS: Proceed to “TEST 4 RESULTS” (top of page 40).
Match all results to corresponding column in the chart. The column letter refers to the Problem 4 flow charts on pages 28 and 29.
TEST 5- WIRE CONTINUITY
DISCUSSION: The Voltage Regulator receives unregulated alternat-
ing current from the Stator Excitation Winding via Wires 2, 6 and 2A. It also receives voltage sensing from the Stator AC Power Windings via Wires 11 and
22. The regulator rectifies the AC from the Excitation
Winding and, based on the sensing signals, regulates that DC current flow to the Rotor. The rectified and regulated current flow is delivered to the Rotor Brushes via Wires 4 (+) and 0 (-). This test will verify the integrity of Wires 0 and 2A.
PROCEDURE:
1. Set a VOM to its “Rx1” scale.
2. Remove Wire 0 from the Voltage Regulator, fourth terminal from the top (identified by a negative (-) sign next to terminal).
3. Connect one test lead to Wire 0 and the other test lead to a clean frame ground. The meter should read continuity.
4. Disconnect Wire 2A from the Voltage Regulator, sixth terminal from the top. Disconnect the other end of this wire from the

Excitation Circuit Breaker (CB3). Connect one test lead to one end of Wire 2A and the other test lead to the other end of the same wire. The meter should read continuity.
RESULTS: If continuity was NOT measured across each wire,
repair or replace the wires as needed. If continuity WAS measured, proceed to Test 6.
TEST 6- CHECK FIELD BOOST
DISCUSSION: Field boost current is delivered to the Rotor only while
the engine is being cranked. This current helps ensure that adequate “pickup” voltage is available to turn the Voltage Regulator on and build AC output voltage.
Loss of the field boost function may or may not result in a problem with AC output voltage. If the Rotor's residual magnetism is sufficient to turn the Regulator on, loss of the function may go unnoticed. However, if the Rotor's residual magnetism is not enough to turn the Regulator on, loss of field boost can result in fail­ure of the unit to generate an output voltage.
PROCEDURE:
1. Set VOM to measure DC voltage.
2. Disconnect Wire 4 from the Voltage Regulator and connect the positive (+) test lead to it. Connect the negative (-) test lead to a clean frame ground.
3. Set the Start-Stop Switch to “START.” During cranking only, measure DC voltage. It should read 3-5 VDC. Reconnect Wire 4 to the Voltage Regulator. If voltage is measured, it can be assumed that the Field Boost is working. Stop testing. If volt­age is not measured, proceed to Step 4.
4. Connect the positive (+) test lead to Wire 16 at pin location J1­13 on the PCB (see Figure 7-4) (J1, J2 & J3 connectors remain connected to PCB). Connect the negative(-) test lead to a clean frame ground.
5. Set the Start-Stop Switch to “START.” During cranking only, battery voltage should measure 11-12 VDC.
6. Connect the positive (+) test lead to Wire 4 at pin location J1-9 on the PCB (see Figure 7-4) (J1, J2 & J3 connectors remain connected to PCB). Connect the negative(-) test lead to a clean frame ground.
7. Set the Start-Stop Switch to “START.” During cranking only measure the DC voltage. It should measure 3-5 VDC.
RESULTS:
1. If battery voltage was not measured in Step 5, repair or replace
Wire 16 between the Starter Contactor Relay and PCB.
2. If field boost voltage was measured in Step 7 but not measured in Step 3, repair or replace Wire 4 between PCB and Voltage Regulator.
3. If battery voltage was measured in Step 5 but field boost volt­age was not measured in Step 7, replace PCB.
4. If field boost checks good, replace the Voltage Regulator.
Figure 7-4. – The Field Boost Circuit
TEST 7 - TEST STATOR DPE WINDING
DISCUSSION: An open circuit in the Stator excitation windings will
result in a loss of unregulated excitation current to the Voltage Regulator. The flow of regulated excitation cur­rent to the Rotor will then terminate and the unit's AC output voltage will drop to a value that is commensurate with the rotor’s residual magnetism (about 5 - 12 VAC).

PROCEDURE:
1. Disconnect Wire 2 from the Excitation Circuit Breaker.
2. Disconnect Wire 6 from the Voltage Regulator.
3. Set a VOM to its “Rx1” scale and zero the meter.
4. Connect the VOM test leads across the terminal ends of Wires 2 and 6. The VOM should indicate the resistance of the Stator Excitation (DPE) Windings.

* Resistance values In ohms at 20° C. (68° F.). Actual readings may vary depending on ambient temperature. A tolerance of plus or minus 5% is allowed.
5. Now, set the meter to its “Rx1 K” or “Rx10,000” scale and zero the meter. Test for a “short-to-ground” condition as follows:
a.Connect one meter test lead to Stator lead No.
2, the other test lead to a clean frame ground.
b.The meter should read “Infinity”. Any other read-
ing indicates a “short-to-ground” condition and the Stator should be replaced.
6. Test for a short between windings as follows:
a.Meter should be set to its “Rx1 K” or “Rx10,000”
scale.
b.Connect one meter test lead to Stator Wire 2,
the other test lead to Stator lead No. 11. The meter should read “Infinity”.
c. Connect one VOM test lead to Stator lead No. 2
the other test lead to Stator lead No. 33. “Infinity” should be indicated.
d.Connect one VOM test lead to Stator lead No. 2
and connect the other test lead to Stator lead No. 66. “Infinity” should be indicated.
RESULTS:
1. If the Stator excitation (DPE) windings are open or shorted, replace the Stator assembly.
2. If the excitation windings are good, perform “Insulation Resistance Test”, page 13.
TEST 8- CHECK SENSING LEADS / POWER
WINDINGS
DISCUSSION: The Voltage Regulator “regulates” excitation current
flow to the Rotor by electronically comparing sensing
voltage to a pre-set reference voltage. The sensing voltage is delivered to the Voltage Regulator via Wires 11S and 22S.
If an open circuit exists in sensing leads 11S or 22S, the normal reaction of an unprotected Regulator would be to increase the excitation current to the Rotor in an effort to increase the actual AC output voltage. This would result in a “full field” condition and an extremely high AC output voltage.
To protect the system against such a high AC output voltage, the Voltage Regulator will shut down if sens­ing voltage signals are lost.
If the regulator shuts down, the generator's AC output voltage will decrease to a value that is commensurate with the Rotor's residual magnetism (about 5-12 VAC).
PROCEDURE: Gain access to the generator control panel interior.
Test the Stator power windings, as follows:
1. From main breaker, disconnect Wires 11 P and 33.
2. Also disconnect Wires 22P and 44 from the ground terminal.
3. Disconnect Wires 11S and 22S from the Voltage Regulator.
4. Set a VOM to its “Rx1” scale and zero the meter.
5. Connect the meter test leads across Stator leads 11P and 22P. Normal power winding resistance should be read.
6. Connect the meter test leads across Stator leads 33 and 44. Normal power winding resistance should be read.
7. Connect the meter test leads across Stator leads 11S and 22S. Normal Power Winding resistance should be read.

RESULTS:
1. If the Stator passes all steps except Step 7, repair, re-connect or replace Sensing leads 11S and 22S.
2. Replace the Stator if it’s power windings fail the test. (Note Result No. 1).
3. If the Power Windings test good, perform the “Insulation Resistance Test” on Page 13.
Figure 7-6. – Stator Power Winding Leads
TEST 9- CHECK BRUSH LEADS
DISCUSSION: In Test 4, if application of battery voltage to the Rotor
did NOT result in an output of about one-half rated voltage, the brush leads could be one possible cause of the problem. This test will check Wires 4 and OK for an open circuit condition.
PROCEDURE:
1. Set a VOM to its “Rx1” scale and zero the meter.
2. Disconnect Wire 4 from the Voltage Regulator and from the Rotor brush terminal.
3. Connect the VOM test leads across each end of the wire. The meter should read “Continuity”.
4. Disconnect Wire OF from the Rotor Brush Terminal. Connect one meter test lead to Wire OF. Connect the other test lead to a clean frame ground. The meter should read “Continuity”.
RESULTS:
1. Repair, reconnect or replace any defective wire(s).
2. If wires check good, go to Test 10.
Figure 7-7. – Brush Leads
TEST 10 - CHECK BRUSHES & SLIP RINGS
DISCUSSION: Brushes and slip rings are made of special materials
that will provide hundreds of hours of service with little wear. However, when the generator has been idle for some time, an oxide film can develop on the slip rings. This film acts as an insulator and impedes the flow of excitation current to the Rotor.
If Test 4 resulted in less than one-half rated output voltage, it is possible that the brushes and slip rings are at fault.
PROCEDURE:
1. Gain access to the brushes and slip rings.
2. Remove Wire 4 from the positive (+) brush terminal.
3. Remove the ground wire (0F) from the negative (-) brush.
4. Remove the brush holder, with brushes.
5. Inspect the brushes for excessive wear, damage, cracks, chip­ping, etc.
6. Inspect the brush holder, replace if damaged.

7. Inspect the slip rings.
a.If slip rings appear dull or tarnished they may be
cleaned and polished with fine sandpaper. DO NOT USE ANY METALLIC GRIT TO CLEAN SLIP RINGS. (A 400 grit wet sandpaper is rec­ommended).
b.After cleaning slip rings, blow away any sandpa-
per residue.
RESULTS:
1. Replace bad brushes. Clean slip rings, if necessary.
2. If brushes and rings are good, go to Test 11.
TEST 11- CHECK ROTOR ASSEMBLY
DISCUSSION: During the “Fixed Excitation Test” (Test 4), if AC out-
put voltage did not come up to about one-half rated volts, one possible cause might be a defective Rotor. The Rotor can be tested for an open or shorted condi­tion using a volt-ohm-milliammeter (VOM).
Also see Chapter Three, “INSULATION RESIS­TANCE TESTS”.
PROCEDURE: Gain access to the brushes and slip rings. Disconnect
Wire 4 and Wire OF from their respective brushes and remove the brush holder. Then, test the Rotor as follows:
1. Set a VOM to its “Rx1” scale and zero the meter.
2. Connect the positive (+) meter test lead to the positive (+) slip ring (nearest the Rotor bearing). Connect the common (-) test lead to the negative (-) slip ring. Read the resistance of the Rotor windings, in OHMS.

* Resistance values In ohms at 20° C. (68° F.). Actual readings may vary depending on ambient temperature. A tolerance of plus or minus 5% is allowed.
3. Set the VOM to its “Rx1 K” or “Rx10,000” scale and zero the meter.
4. Connect the positive (+) meter test lead to the positive (+) slip ring, the common (-) test lead to a clean frame ground (such as the Rotor shaft). The meter should read “Infinity”.
RESULTS:
1. Replace the Rotor if it fails the test.
2. If Rotor checks good, perform “Insulation Resistance Test,” on Page 14.
Figure 7-8. – Rotor Assembly
TEST 12 - CHECK MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER
DISCUSSION: The main circuit breaker on the generator panel must
be closed or no output to the load will be available. A defective breaker may not be able to pass current even though it is in the “ON” position.
Figure 7-9. – Main Breaker (Typical)
PROCEDURE: Set the coach main breaker to it’s “OFF” position.
Check that the appropriate main breaker on the gen­erator panel is set to its “ON” (closed) position. Set a VOM to measure resistance and use it to check for continuity across the breaker terminals.
Page 44
SSeeccttiioonn 77
DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
RESULTS:
1. If breaker is “ON” and “Continuity” is measured, go to Test 3.
2. If breaker is “OFF”, reset to the “ON” position and check for AC output.
3. If breaker is “ON” and “Continuity” is not measured, replace the defective circuit breaker.
TEST 13- CHECK LOAD VOLTAGE &
FREQUENCY
DISCUSSION: If engine speed appears to drop off excessively when
electrical loads are applied to the generator, the load voltage and frequency should be checked.
PROCEDURE: Perform this test in the same manner as Test 1, but
apply a load to the generator equal to its rated capaci­ty. With load applied check voltage and frequency.
Frequency should not drop below about 58 Hertz with the load applied.
Voltage should not drop below about 115 VAC with load applied.
RESULTS:
1. If voltage and/or frequency drop excessively when the load is applied, go to Test 14.
2. If load voltage and frequency are within limits, end tests.
TEST 14- CHECK LOAD WATTS & AMPERAGE
DISCUSSION: This test will determine if the generator's rated
wattage/amperage capacity has been exceeded. Continuous electrical loading should not be greater
than the unit's rated capacity.
PROCEDURE: Add up the wattages or amperages of all loads pow-
ered by the generator at one time. If desired, a clamp­on ammeter may be used to measure current flow. See “Measuring Current” on Page 16.
RESULTS:
1. If the unit is overloaded, reduce the load.
2. If load is within limits, but frequency and voltage still drop excessively, complete Test 2, “Check/Adjust Engine Governor”. If governor adjustment does not correct the problem, go to Problem 8 (Flow Chart, Pages 34 and 35).
TEST 15 - CHECK BATTERY CHARGE
OUTPUT
DISCUSSION: The Battery Charge system consists of a center tap
Battery Charge Winding, a Battery Charge Rectifier, and a Battery Charge Resistor. During normal opera­tion the battery charge output will vary between 1 to 2 amps, depending on the load applied to the genera­tor. Battery Charge Winding Stator Lead Wire 66 is tapped at the Battery Charge Rectifier and connected to the Engine Control Circuit Board at Pin location J1­10, and is used as a signal for Starter lockout.
PROCEDURE:
1. Disconnect Wire 15 from the Battery Charge Rectifier (center terminal). Wire 15 is the fused battery supply.
2. Set a VOM to measure DC Amps. Connect the positive (+) test lead to the center terminal of the Battery Charge Rectifier. Connect the negative (-) test lead to Wire 15 previously discon­nected.
3. Start the generator. The amp reading on the VOM should be approximately 0.8 Amps. Apply full load to the generator. The amp reading should increase to approximately 2 Amps.
RESULTS:
1. If amperage was measured between 0.8 to 2 Amps in Step 2 and Step 3, the charging system is working.
2. If no amperage was measured, check the VOM fuses and veri­fy the functioning of the Amp Meter. If DC Amp Meter is good and no current is measured, go to Test 16
TEST 16 - CHECK BATTERY CHARGE
RECTIFIER
DISCUSSION: The Battery Charge Rectifier (
BCR)
is a full wave rectifier.
PROCEDURE:
1. Disconnect Wire 66, Wire 15 and Wire 77 from the Battery Charge Rectifier.
2. Set the VOM to the Diode Test range. Connect the negative (-) test lead to the center terminal of the BCR. Connect the posi­tive (+) test lead to an outer terminal. The meter should mea­sure approximately 0.5 volts. Now connect the positive test lead to the other outer terminal. Again, the meter should mea­sure approximately 0.5 volts.
3. Connect the positive (+) test lead to the center terminal of the BCR. Connect the negative (-) test lead to to an outer terminal. The meter should measure “Infinity.” Connect the negative test lead to the other outer terminal. “Infinity” should once again be measured.
Page 45

Short to Ground:
4. Set the VOM to measure resistance. Connect the positive (+) test lead to the case housing of the BCR. Connect the negative (-) test lead to an outer terminal. “Infinity” should be measured. Now connect the negative test lead to the BCR center terminal. “Infinity” should be measured. Next, connect the negative test lead to the remaining outer BCR terminal. Once again “Infinity” should be measured.
Figure 7-10. – Battery Charge Rectifier
RESULTS:
1. If any of the previous steps has failed, replace the Battery Charge Rectifier.
2. If the BCR tests good, go to Test 17.
TEST 17 - CHECK BATTERY CHARGE
WINDINGS / BATTERY CHARGE RESISTOR
DISCUSSION: The Battery Charge Winding (BCW) produces AC
voltage that is delivered to the Battery Charge Rectifier. The Battery Charge Winding is a center tapped winding consisting of the following Stator Leads: Wire 66, Wire 77 and Wire 55. The Battery Charge Resistor is used as a current limiting resistor.
PROCEDURE:
1. Disconnect the Stator Leads (Wire 66 and Wire 77) from the Battery Charge Rectifier. (Be sure to disconnect Stator Lead Wire 66 “Black” from Wire 66 “Blue” connector for this test). Disconnect the Stator Lead Wire 55 from the Battery Charge Resistor.
2. Set the VOM to measure resistance at the “R x 1” scale. Connect one test lead to Stator Lead Wire 66. Connect the other test lead to Stator Lead Wire 55. Normal Battery Charge Winding resistance should be measured.
3. Connect one test lead to Stator Lead Wire 77. Connect the
other test lead to Stator Lead Wire 55. Normal Battery Charge Winding resistance should be measured.
4. Connect one test lead to Stator Lead Wire 55. Connect the other test lead to Stator Leads Wire 11 & 33 at the back of CB1. “Infinity” should be measured.
5. Connect one test lead to Stator Lead Wire 55. Disconnect Stator Lead Wire 2 from the DPE circuit breaker (CB3) and connect the other test lead to Wire 2. “Infinity” should be mea­sured.
6 Connect one test lead to Stator Lead Wire 55. Connect the
other test lead to frame ground. “Infinity” should be measured.
7. Connect one test lead to the Battery Charge Resistor terminal that Wire 55 was removed from. Connect the other test lead to frame ground. One (1) ohm should be measured. If 1 ohm was not measured, remove Wire 0 from the Battery Charge Resistor. Connect one test lead to Wire 0 and the other test lead to frame ground.

RESULTS:
1. For Steps 2 & 3, keep in mind that the resistance values are very low. Depending upon the quality of the VOM, it may read “
Continuity” across these windings. Exercise good judgement
with these values.
2. If Steps 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 fail any test, replace the Stator.

3. In Step 7, if Wire 0 reads “Continuity”, but resistor does not measure 1 ohm, replace the Battery Charge Resistor.
4. If all of the Steps in this test pass, perform “Insulation Resistance Test” on page 13.
TEST 18 - TRY CRANKING THE ENGINE
DISCUSSION: If the Fuel Primer Switch on the generator panel is
actuated, but the Fuel Pump does not run (priming function doesn't work), perhaps battery voltage is not available.
PROCEDURE: Hold the Start-Stop Switch at “START”. The engine
should crank and start.
RESULTS:
1. If the engine cranks normally, but the priming function still doesn't work, go to Test 19.
2. If engine will not crank, go to Test 21. Refer to Problem 6 of Section 6.
3. If engine cranks but won't start, go to Problem 7 of Section 6.
4. If engine starts hard and runs rough, go to Problem 8 of Section 6.
TEST 19- TEST PRIMER SWITCH
DISCUSSION: A defective primer switch can prevent the priming
function from occurring. Switch failure can also prevent the engine from start-
ing, since the switch is in series with the Wire14 circuit. (Also see “Fuel Primer Switch,” page 25).
Figure 7-11. – Primer Switch
PROCEDURE:
1. Set a VOM to read battery voltage (12 VDC).
2. Connect the positive (+) meter test lead to the Wire 15 terminal of the Primer Switch (leave Wire 15 connected to the switch). Connect the negative (-) meter test lead to frame ground. The meter should indicate battery voltage.
3. Connect the positive (+) meter test lead to the Wire 14 terminal of the Primer Switch (leave Wire 14 connected to the switch). Connect the negative (-) meter test lead to a clean frame ground. Set the Start-Stop switch to “START”. The engine should crank and battery voltage should be measured.

a. With the Primer Switch NOT actuated, no
voltage should be indicated.
b. Actuate the switch to its “PRIME” position
and the meter should read battery voltage.
5. For gasoline models, disconnect Connector 2 at the Fuel Pump. Connect the VOM positive (+) test lead to Wire 14A, (Pin 2 of Connector 2) going up to the Control Panel (see Figure 7-12). Connect the VOM negative(-) test lead to frame ground. Repeat Steps 4a and 4b. Battery Voltage should be measured when the Primer Switch is activated.
Figure 7-12. – Harness End of Connector 2
6. For LPG models, disconnect Wire 14A from the LPG Fuel Solenoid (FS)(see Figure 7-13). Connect the VOM positive (+) test lead to Wire 14A. Connect the VOM negative(-) test lead to frame ground. Repeat Steps 4a and 4b. Battery Voltage should be measured when the Primer Switch is activated.
7. Set the VOM to measure resistance at the “Rx1” scale and zero the meter.
a. Disconnect Wire 14 from the Primer Switch. b. Connect the meter test leads across the
Wires 14 and 14A terminals of the switch.
c. With the switch NOT actuated, the meter
should read “Continuity”
.
SSeeccttiioonn 77 DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
Figure 7-13. – The LPG Fuel Solenoid (FS)
RESULTS:
1. If battery voltage is not indicated in Step 2, check Wire 15 between the Primer Switch and the 7.5 amp fuse for an open condition.
2. If battery voltage is indicated in Step 2 but not in Step 4, replace the Primer Switch. If battery voltage is NOT indicated in Step 3 repair or replace Wire 14 between the 4-tab Terminal Connector (TC) and the Fuel Primer Switch (SW2).
3. If battery voltage was indicated in Step 4 but not in Step 5:
a. For gasoline models repair or replace Wire
14A between the Primer Switch (SW2) and Fuel Pump Connector 2.
b. For LPG models repair or replace Wire 14A
between the Fuel Prime Switch (SW2) and the LPG Fuel Solenoid (FS).
4. If the meter reads anything other than
Continuity” in Step 7,
replace the Primer Switch.
5. If the Primer Switch checks good, go to Test 20 for Gasoline models. For LPG models, go to Test 42.
TEST 20- CHECK FUEL PUMP
DISCUSSION: An inoperative Fuel Pump will (a) prevent the priming
function from working and (b) prevent the engine from starting.
PROCEDURE:
1. Remove Fuel Filter and verify that filter is not clogged. Replace filter if necessary.
2. Verify that fuel is available to Fuel Filter inlet. Use an alterna­tive fuel supply if questionable.
3. Remove air filter access panel and air filter. Remove fuel hose from pump. Place a suitable container to catch fuel from fuel pump line. Activate fuel primer switch. Pump should operate and fuel should flow. If pump does not operate, proceed to Step 4.
4. In Test 19, Battery Voltage was checked at Connector 2. This step will test the ground wire. Disconnect Connector 2 at the Fuel Pump. Set the VOM to measure resistance. Connect one test lead to Wire 0, (Pin 1 of Connector 2) that goes to the Control Panel (see Figure 7-12). Connect the other test lead to a clean frame ground .
Continuity” should be measured.
5. To test for an open fuel pump coil, connect one test lead to the Red Wire (Pin 2 of Connector 2) going to the fuel pump. Connect the other test lead to the Black Wire (Pin 1 of Connector 2) going to the Fuel Pump (see Figure 7-15). The VOM should indicate Fuel Pump coil resistance of about 29.5 kW. (Current draw of the pump at nominal voltage is approxi­mately 1.4 amperes MAXIMUM).
Short to Ground:
6. To test for a shorted fuel pump coil, connect one test lead to the Red Wire
(Pin 2 of Connector 2, see Figure 7-15)
. Connect the other test lead to the fuel pump housing. “Infinity” should be measured.
Figure 7-14. – Electric Fuel Pump
RESULTS:
1. If “Continuity” was not measured in Step 4, repair or replace Wire 0 between Connector 2 and the ground terminal.
2. If “Continuity” is measured in Step 4, but pump does not oper­ate in Step 3, replace the Fuel Pump.
Page 48

DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
3. If the pump fails Step 5 or Step 6, replace the Fuel Pump.
Note: If desired, a pressure gauge can be attached to the pumps outlet side. Pump outlet pressure should be 2.0 to 3.5 psi.
4. If the pump operates normally, go to Test 31.
Figure 7-15. – Harness to Fuel Pump
TEST 21- CHECK 7.5 AMP FUSE
DISCUSSION: If the panel-mounted 7.5 amp fuse (F1) has blown,
engine cranking will not be possible.
Figure 7-16. – 7.5 Amp Fuse
PROCEDURE: Push In on fuse holder cap and turn counterclock-
wise. Then, remove the cap with fuse. Inspect the Fuse.
RESULTS: If the Fuse element has melted open, replace the
Fuse with an identical size fuse. If Fuse is good, go to Test 22.
TEST 22- CHECK BATTERY & CABLES
DISCUSSION: If the engine won't crank or cranks too slowly, the bat-
tery may be weak or discharged. See “Battery” on Page 24.
PROCEDURE:
1. Inspect the battery cables and battery posts or terminals for corrosion or tightness. Measure the voltage at the terminal of the starter contactor and verify 11-12 volts DC is available to the generator during cranking. If voltage is below 11 volts DC, measure at the battery terminals during cranking. If battery voltage is below 11 volts DC, recharge/replace battery. If bat­tery voltage is above 11 volts DC, check for proper battery cable sizing (see “BATTERY CABLES” on Page 24). If battery or cables are still suspected, connect an alternate battery and cables to the generator and retest.
2. Use a battery hydrometer to test the battery for (a) state of charge and (b) condition. Follow the hydrometer manufactur­er's instructions carefully.
RESULTS:
1. Clean battery posts and cables as necessary. Make sure bat­tery cables are tight.
2. Recharge the battery, if necessary.
3. Replace the battery, if necessary.
4. If battery is good, but engine will not crank, go to Test 23.
TEST 23- CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO
CIRCUIT BOARD
DISCUSSION: If battery voltage is not available to the circuit board,
engine cranking and running will not be possible. If battery voltage is available to the board, but no DC
output is delivered to the board's Wire 56 terminal while attempting to crank, either the circuit board is defective or the Start-Stop Switch has failed.
This test will determine if battery voltage is available to the Engine Controller circuit board. Test 24 will check the Start-Stop Switch. Test 25 will check the DC power supply to the circuit board's Wire 56 termi­nal (Receptacle J1, Pin 1).
PROCEDURE:
1. On the Engine Controller Circuit Board, locate Terminal J3 to which Wire 15 connects (see Figure 5-3 on Page 24).
2. Set a VOM to read battery voltage. Connect the meter test leads across circuit board Terminal J3 and frame ground. The meter should read battery voltage.
3. Set the VOM to measure resistance (“Rx1” scale). Connect one meter test lead to Wire 0, Pin location J1-12 on the Engine Controller Circuit Board. Connect the other test lead to a clean frame ground. “Continuity” should be measured.
Page 49
SSeeccttiioonn 77 DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
RESULTS:
1.If battery voltage is NOT indicated in Step 1, check continuity of:
a. Wire 13 between Starter Contactor and
Starter Contactor Relay.
b. Wire 13 between Starter Contactor Relay
and 7.5 Amp Fuse (F1).
c. Wire 15 between the 7.5 Amp fuse (F1) and
the Battery Charge Rectifier.
d. Wire 15 between the Battery Charge
Rectifier and the Engine Controller Board.
Repair, reconnect or Replace bad wiring as necessary.
2. If battery voltage is indicated but engine will not crank, go to Test 24.
3. If “Continuity” was not measured in Step 3, repair or replace Wire 0 between the Engine Controller Circuit Board and the Ground Terminal.
TEST 24 - CHECK START-STOP SWITCH
DISCUSSION: Engine cranking and startup is initiated when Wire 17
from the Engine Controller board is connected to frame ground by setting the Start-Stop Switch to “START”.
Engine shutdown occurs when circuit board Wire 18 is connected to frame ground by the Start-Stop Switch.
Figure 7-17. – Start-Stop Switch
A defective Start-Stop Switch can result in (a) failure to crank when the switch is set to “START”, and/or (b) failure to shut down when the switch is set to “STOP”.
PROCEDURE: For Problem 6 (Section 6), perform all steps. For
Problem 9, perform Step 1 and Step 5 ONLY.
1. Set a VOM to its “Rx1” scale and zero the meter.
2. Inspect the ground Wire 0B, between the Start-Stop Switch and the grounding terminal. Connect one meter test lead to Wire 0B on SW1. Connect the other test lead to a clean frame ground. “Continuity” should be measured.
3. Disconnect Wire 17 from its Switch terminal and connect it to frame ground. The engine should crank.
4. Remove the 7.5 amp fuse. Disconnect Wire 18, Wire 0B and Wire 17 from the Start-Stop Switch (SW1).
5. Connect one test lead to the center terminal of SW1. Connect the other test lead to an outer terminal of SW1. “Infinity” should be measured. Remove the test lead from the outer terminal of SW1 and connect it to the opposite outer terminal. “Infinity” should be measured.
6. Leave the test lead connected to the center terminal of SW1 from Step 5. Connect the other test lead to an outer terminal. Depress the switch away from the terminal being tested (see Figure 7-18). “Continuity” should be measured. Repeat the pro­cedure with the test lead connected to the other outer terminal. “Continuity” should be measured.
Figure 7-18. – Test 24, Step 6
RESULTS:
1. If “Continuity” is not measured in Step 2, repair, reconnect or replace Wire 0B (between Start-Stop Switch and ground termi­nal) as necessary.
Page 50
SSeeccttiioonn 77
DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
2. If engine cranks in Step 3 when Wire 17 is grounded, but will not crank when the Switch is set to “START”, replace the Start­Stop Switch.
3. If the Start-Stop Switch (SW1) failed any part of Steps 5 or 6, replace the switch.
4. If engine will not crank when Wire 17 is grounded, proceed as follows:
a.Use a jumper wire to connect the circuit board's
Wire 17 (pin location J1-6) to ground. If engine does NOT crank, proceed to Test 25.
b.If engine cranks now, but would not crank in
Step 3 of the procedure, check Wire 17 for con­tinuity between the circuit board and Start-Stop Switch. If “Continuity” is not measured, repair or replace Wire 17 between the engine control board and the Start-Stop Switch.
5. For Problem 9 (Section 6), if switch tests GOOD, go to Test 30.
TEST 25 - CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO WIRE 56
DISCUSSION: If battery voltage is available to the Engine Controller
board in Test 23, then DC voltage should be delivered to Wire 56 when the Start-Stop Switch is set to “START” (Test 24). This test will check to see if the circuit board is delivering battery voltage to the Wire 56 terminal.
PROCEDURE:
1. Set a VOM to measure DC voltage (12 VDC).
2. Disconnect Wire 56 from its Starter Contactor Relay terminal.
3. Connect the meter positive (+) test lead to Wire 56, just discon­nected. Connect the other test lead to frame ground. No volt­age should be indicated.
4. Actuate the Start-Stop Switch to its “START” position. The meter should indicate battery voltage. If battery voltage is pre­sent, stop the procedure.
5. Connect the VOM positive (+) test lead to Wire 56 (Pin Location J1-1) at the Engine Controller Circuit Board. Connect the other test lead to frame ground.
6. Actuate the Start-Stop Switch to the “START” position. The meter should indicate battery voltage.
RESULTS:
1. If battery voltage was measured in Step 6, but not in Step 4, repair or replace Wire 56 between the Engine Controller Circuit Board and Starter Contactor Relay.
2. If battery voltage was not available in Step 6, replace the Engine Controller Circuit Board.
3. If battery voltage is available in Step 4 but engine does not crank, go to Test 26.
TEST 26- CHECK STARTER CONTACTOR
RELAY
DISCUSSION: If battery voltage is available to Wire 56 but the
engine won't crank, the possible cause could be a failed Starter Contactor Relay.
PROCEDURE:
1. Set the VOM to measure resistance (“R x 1” scale). Remove Wire 0 from the Starter Contactor Relay (SCR). Connect one meter test lead to Wire 0, and connect the other meter test lead to frame ground. “Continuity” should be measured. Reconnect Wire 0.
2. Set the VOM to measure resistance (“R x 1” scale). Disconnect Wire 16 and Wire 13 (Wire 13 is 12VDC isolate from ground) from the Starter Contactor Relay (SCR). Connect one meter test lead to an SCR terminal, and connect the other meter test lead to the remaining SCR terminal. “Infinity” should be mea­sured. Set the Start-Stop Switch to “START”. The meter should now read “Continuity”.
Short to Ground:
3. Set the VOM to measure resistance (“R x 1” scale). Disconnect Wire 56 from the Starter Contactor Relay (SCR). Connect one meter test lead to the SCR terminal from which Wire 56 was just removed. Connect the other meter test lead to a clean frame ground. Starter Contactor Relay coil resistance of 155 ohms should be measured. If
Continuity” is measured a short
to ground exists.
Note: Current draw of the Starter Contactor Relay coil at nominal voltage is approximately 80ma.
Figure 7-19. – Starter Contactor Relay

SSeeccttiioonn 77 DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
RESULTS:
1. If “Continuity” is not measured in Step 1, repair or replace Wire 0 between the Starter Contactor Relay and the ground terminal.
2. If “Continuity” was not measured in Step 2 when the Start-Stop switch was activated to “START”, replace the Starter Contactor Relay.
3. If
Continuity” is measured in Step 2, go to Test 26A.
TEST 26A - CHECK STARTER CONTACTOR
DISCUSSION: The Starter Contactor (SC) must energize and it's
heavy duty contacts must close or the engine will not crank. This test will determine if the Starter Contactor is in working order. The Starter Contactor is connect­ed to the Starter Motor (see Figure 7-20).
Figure 7-20. – The Starter Contactor (SC)
PROCEDURE:
1. Carefully inspect the starter motor cable that runs from the Battery to the Starter Motor. Cable connections should be clean and tight. If connections are dirty or corroded, remove cable and clean cable terminals and studs. Replace any cable that is defective or badly corroded. Set the VOM to measure DC voltage. Connect the positive (+) meter test lead to the Starter Contactor stud that the battery cable is connected to. Connect the negative (-) meter test lead to a clean frame ground. Battery voltage should be measured (see Figure 7-20, STEP 1 TEST POINT).
2. Set the VOM to measure DC voltage. Disconnect Wire 16 from the Starter Contactor. Connect the positive (+) meter test lead to Wire 16. Connect the negative (-) meter test lead to a clean frame ground. Set the Start-Stop Switch to “START”. Battery voltage should be indicated. Reconnect Wire 16 to the Starter Contactor.
3. Set the VOM to measure DC voltage. Connect the positive (+) meter test lead to the Starter Contactor stud that has the small jumper wire connected to the Starter. Connect the negative (-) meter test lead to a clean frame ground. Set the Start-Stop Switch to “START”. Battery voltage should be measured (see Figure 7-20, STEP 2 TEST POINT).
RESULTS:
1. If battery voltage was not measured in Step 1, repeat Test 22.
2. If battery voltage was not measured in Step 2, repair or replace Wire 16 between the Starter Contactor Relay (SCR) and the Starter Contactor (SC).
3 If battery voltage was measured in Step 1, but not in Step 3,
replace the Starter Contactor.
4. If battery voltage was measured in Step 3 but the engine still does not crank, go to test 27.
TEST 27 - CHECK STARTER MOTOR
CONDITIONS AFFECTING STARTER MOTOR PERFORMANCE:
1. A binding or seizing condition in the Starter Motor bearings.
2. A shorted, open or grounded armature.
a.Shorted, armature (wire insulation worn and
wires touching one another). Will be indicated by low or no RPM.
b.Open armature (wire broken) will be indicated
by low or no RPM and excessive current draw.
c. Grounded armature (wire insulation worn and
wire touching armature lamination or shaft). Will be indicated by excessive current draw or no RPM.
3. A defective Starter Motor switch.
4. Broken, damaged or weak magnets.
5. Starter drive dirty or binding.
DISCUSSION: Test 25 verified that circuit board action is delivering
DC voltage to the Starter Contactor Relay (SCR). Test 26 verified the operation of the SCR. Test 26A verified the operation of the Starter Contactor (SC). Another possible cause of an "engine won't crank" problem is a failure of the Starter Motor.

PROCEDURE: The battery should have been checked prior to this
test and should be fully charged. Set a VOM to measure DC voltage (12 VDC).
Connect the meter positive (+) test lead to the Starter Contactor stud which has the small jumper wire con­nected to the Starter. Connect the common (-) test lead to the Starter Motor frame.
Set the Start-Stop Switch to its "START" position and observe the meter. Meter should Indicate battery volt­age, Starter Motor should operate and engine should crank.
RESULTS:
1. If battery voltage is indicated on the meter but Starter Motor did not operate, remove and bench test the Starter Motor (see fol­lowing test).
2. If battery voltage was indicated and the Starter Motor tried to engage (pinion engaged), but engine did not crank, check for mechanical binding of the engine or rotor.
If engine turns over slightly, go to Test 35 “Check and Adjust Valves.”
NOTE: If a starting problem is encountered, the engine itself should be thoroughly checked to eliminate it as the cause of starting difficulty. It is a good practice to check the engine for freedom of rotation by removing the spark plugs and turn­ing the crankshaft over slowly by hand, to be sure it rotates freely.

CHECKING THE PINION: When the Starter Motor is activated, the pinion gear
should move and engage the flywheel ring gear. If the pinion does not move normally, inspect the pinion for binding or sticking.
Figure 7-22. – Check Pinion Gear Operation
TOOLS FOR STARTER PERFORMANCE TEST: The following equipment may be used to complete a
performance test of the Starter Motor:
A clamp-on ammeter.A tachometer capable of reading up to 10,000 rpm.A fully charged 12-volt battery.
MEASURING CURRENT: To read the current flow, in AMPERES, a clamp-on
ammeter may be used. This type of meter indicates current flow through a conductor by measuring the strength of the magnetic field around that conductor.
Figure 7-23. – Clamp-On Ammeter
TACHOMETER: A tachometer is available from your Generac Power
Systems source of supply. Order as P/N 042223. The tachometer measures from 800 to 50,000 RPM (see Figure 7-24).
Page 53
SSeeccttiioonn 77 DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
Figure 7-24. – Tachometer
TEST BRACKET: A starter motor test bracket may be made as shown
in Figure 7-25.
Figure 7-25. – Test Bracket
REMOVE STARTER MOTOR: It is recommended that the Starter Motor be removed
from the engine when testing Starter Motor perfor­mance. Assemble starter to test bracket and clamp test bracket in vise (Figure 7-26).
TESTING STARTER MOTOR:
1. A fully charged 12 volt battery is required.
2. Connect jumper cables and clamp-on ammeter as shown in Figure 7-26.
3. With the Starter Motor activated (jump the terminal on the Starter Contactor to battery voltage), note the reading on the clamp-on ammeter and on the tachometer (rpm).
Note: Take the reading after the ammeter and tachometer are stabilized, approximately 2-4 seconds.
4. A starter motor in good condition will be within the following specifications:
MMiinniimmuumm rrppmm 44550000
MMaaxxiimmuumm AAmmppss 5500
Note: Nominal amp draw of starter in generator is 60 amps.
Figure 7-26. – Testing Starter Motor Performance
TEST 28- CHECK FUEL SUPPLY
DISCUSSION (GASOLINE MODELS): If the engine cranks but won't start, don't overlook the
obvious. The fuel supply may be low. Many RV gen­erator installations “share” the fuel tank with the vehi­cle engine. When such is the case, the Installer may have used a generator fuel pickup tube that is shorter than the vehicle engine's pickup tube. Thus, the gen­erator will run out of gas before the vehicle engine.
PROCEDURE: Check fuel level in the supply tank. Attach a fresh fuel
supply if necessary and restart. Fuel may be stale, causing a hard start.
RESULTS:
1. If necessary, replenish fuel supply.
2. If fuel is good, go to Test 29 (for Problem 7, Section 6). Go to Test 32 for Problem 8 (Section 6).
Page 54
SSeeccttiioonn 77
DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
DISCUSSION (LPG MODELS): LP gas is stored in pressure tanks as a liquid. The
gas systems used with these generators were designed only for vapor withdrawal type systems. Vapor withdrawal systems use the gas vapors that form above the liquid fuel in the tank. Do NOT attempt to use the generator with any liquid withdrawal type system.
Gas pressure delivered to the solenoid valve must be properly regulated by means of a primary gas regula­tor. Mount the primary regulator at the gas tank outlet or in the supply line from the gas tank. The following rules apply:
• For best results, the primary regulator supplies gaseous fuel to the secondary regulator at 11 inch­es water column. Do NOT exceed 14 inches water column.
• The installer must be sure the primary regulator is rated at sufficient gas flow to operate the generator plus all other gas appliances in the circuit.
Figure 7-27 – Typical Propane Gas Fuel System
NOTE: Recommended MINIMUM gas flow rate for all air-cooled QUIETPACT series generators is 67 cubic feet per hour.
If an existing primary gas regulator does not have a sufficient flow capacity for the generator and other gas appliances in the circuit, (a) install a pri­mary regulator with adequate flow rate, or (b) install a separate regulator only and rated at least 67 cubic feet per hour. The inlet side of any prima­ry regulator that supplies the generator must con­nect directly to a gas pressure tank. Do NOT tee the generator line into a gas circuit feeding other areas.

LP gas vapors should be supplied to the secondary regulator inlet at about 11 inches water column (posi­tive pressure). The engine pistons draw air in during the intake stroke (Figure 7-28). This air passes through a carburetor venturi, which creates a low pressure that is proportional to the quantity of air being pumped. The low pressure from the carburetor venturi acts on the regulator diaphragm to pull the diaphragm toward the source of low pressure. A lever attached to the diaphragm opens a valve to permit gas glow through the carburetor.
Figure 7-28 – LP Gas Carburetion Diagram
The greater the airflow through the carburetor venturi, the lower the pressure at the venturi throat. The lower the pressure at the venturi throat, the greater the diaphragm movement, and the greater the move­ment of the regulator valve. The more the regulator valve opens, the greater the gas flow that is propor­tional to airflow through the generator.
The following facts about the secondary regulator must be emphasized:
• The regulator must be sensitive to venturi throat pressure changes throughout the operating range.
• The regulator must be properly adjusted so it will stop the flow of gas when the engine is not running (no air flow through the carburetor).
• The slightest airflow (and vacuum in the venturi throat) should move the regulator valve off its seat and permit gas to flow.
PROCEDURE: A water manometer or a gauge that is calibrated in
“ounces per square inch” may be used to measure the fuel pressure. Fuel pressure at the inlet side of the LPG Shut Off Valve should be between 11-14 inches
Page 55
SSeeccttiioonn 77 DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
water column as measured with a manometer. The LP system must be able to maintain 11-14 inches water column under all load requirements.
1. Turn LP supply to generator off.
2. Remove the Gas Pressure Tap from the fuel regulator and install manometer to this port.
3. Turn LP supply to generator on, the gauge should read 11-14 inches water column.
4. For Problem 8 only (Section 6), start the engine and the gauge should read 11-14 inches water column.
RESULTS:
1. If the LP gas pressure is less than 11-14 inches water column the fuel supply system must be corrected in order to maintain 11-14 inches water column.
2. If the LP gas pressure is between 11-14 inches water Column, proceed to Test 29 for Problem 7 (Section 6). Proceed to Test 32 for Problem 8 (Section 6).
Figure 7-29. – Fuel Regulator
TEST 29 - CHECK WIRE 14 POWER SUPPLY
DISCUSSION: When the engine is cranked, Engine Controller Circuit
Board action must deliver battery voltage to the Wire 14 circuit, or the engine will not start. This is because the Wire 14 circuit will operate the Fuel Pump and Fuel Solenoid on Gasoline models. On LP models it operates the LPG Shut-off valve.
PROCEDURE: Inside the generator panel, locate the 4-tab terminal
connector (Figure 7-30). Then, proceed as follows:
1. Set a VOM to read battery voltage (12 VDC).
2. Connect the meter positive (+) test lead to the 4-tab terminal connector, the common (-) test lead to frame ground.
3. Crank the engine and the meter should read battery voltage. If
battery voltage is not measured, proceed to Step 4.
4. Connect the positive (+) meter test lead to Terminal J2 on the Engine Controller Circuit Board. Connect the negative (-) test lead to a clean frame ground (see Figure 5-3, Page 24).
5. Crank the engine. The meter should indicate battery voltage.
Figure 7-30. – The 4-tab Connector
RESULTS:
1. If the meter indicated battery voltage, go to Test 19.
2. If battery voltage was NOT indicated in Step 3 but is indicated in Step 5, check Wire 14 between the 4-tab connector and the Engine Controller circuit board.
a.Repair, reconnect or replace Wire 14 as neces-
sary.
3. If battery voltage was not indicated in Step 5, replace the Engine Controller Circuit Board.
TEST 30 - CHECK WIRE 18
DISCUSSION: Wire 18 controls sending the STOP signal to the
Engine Controller Circuit Board. If Wire 18 contacts ground it will initiate a shutdown. Coach manufactur­ers sometimes install a 15 to 30 foot remote harness. A ground on Wire 18 in a remote harness can also cause a shutdown.
PROCEDURE:
1. Remove the remote harness connector from the generator and re-test. If generator continues to run, a short is present in the remote harness. Repair or replace the remote harness.
2. Remove the J1 connector from the Engine Controller Circuit Board. Set the VOM to measure resistance. Connect one test lead to Pin Location J1-14. Connect the other test lead to a clean frame ground. “Infinity” should be measured.
Page 56
SSeeccttiioonn 77
DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
Figure 7-31. – Remote Harness Connector
3. Connect one test lead to Pin Location J1-15. Connect the other test lead to a clean frame ground. “Infinity” should be measured.
RESULTS:
1. If “Continuity” is measured in Step 2, repair or replace shorted Wire 18 between J1 Connector and Start-Stop Switch.
2. If “Continuity” was measured in Step 3, repair or replace short­ed Wire 18 between J1 Connector and remote panel connector.
3. If Wire 18 checks GOOD, proceed to Problem 8 (Section 6).
TEST 31 - CHECK FUEL SOLENOID
(GASOLINE MODELS)
DISCUSSION: If the Fuel Solenoid fails to open, the engine will not
start.
PROCEDURE:
1. Remove Control Panel cover. Remove Wire 56 from the Starter Contactor Relay. This will prevent the unit from cranking during test (see Figure 7-19, Page 51).
2. Remove air filter cover. Disconnect Connector 2 which con­nects to the fuel pump.
3. Activate the Start-Stop Switch (SW1) to the START position and hold. This will activate the fuel solenoid. The fuel solenoid should energize and produce an audible click. If the fuel sole­noid does not operate, proceed to Step 4. Reconnect Connector 2 back to the fuel pump.
4. Set the VOM to measure DC voltage. Disconnect Wire 14 from the Fuel Solenoid. Connect the positive (+) meter test lead to Wire 14 that goes to the control panel.Connect the negative (-) test lead to a clean frame ground. Activate the Start-Stop Switch (SW1) to the START position and hold. Battery voltage should be measured.
5. Set the VOM to measure resistance. Disconnect Wire 0 from the Carburetor at the bullet connector. Connect one test lead to Wire 0 that goes to the control panel. Connect the other test lead to a clean frame ground.
Continuity” should be measured.
6. Connect one test lead to the Green Wire going to the carbure­tor. Connect the other test lead to the carburetor body. “
Continuity” should be measured.
Short to Ground:
7. Set the VOM to measure resistance. Disconnect the bullet con­nector going to the Fuel Solenoid. Connect one meter test lead to the Red Wire going to the Fuel Solenoid. Connect the other meter test lead to the Fuel Solenoid housing. A reading of 38.0 ohms should be measured. If
very low resistance
is mea­sured, a short to ground exists. (Fuel Solenoid coil resistance is approximately 38.0 ohms. Current draw of the Fuel Solenoid at nominal voltage is approximately 331 milliamps or 0.331 amps).
RESULTS:
1. If the Fuel Solenoid passes Steps 4 & 5 but does NOT operate in Step 3, replace or repair Fuel Solenoid.
2. If battery voltage is not measured in Step 4, repair or replace Wire 14 between the 4-Tab Terminal Connector (TC) and the Fuel Solenoid.
3. If
Continuity” is not measured in Step 5, repair or replace Wire
0 between the Fuel Solenoid and ground terminal.
4. If
Continuity” is not measured in Step 6, repair or replace
Carburetor ground wire.
5. If the Fuel Solenoid operates, proceed to Test 32.
TEST 32 - CHECK IGNITION SPARK
DISCUSSION: A problem in the engine ignition system can cause
any of the following:
• Engine will not start.
• Engine starts hard, runs rough.
A commercially available spark tester may be used to test the engine ignition system. One can also be pur­chased from Generac Power Systems (Part No. 0C5969).
PROCEDURE:
1. Disconnect a high tension lead from a spark plug.
2. Attach the high tension lead to the spark tester terminal.
3. Ground the spark tester clamp by attaching to the cylinder head (see Figure 7-32).
Page 57
SSeeccttiioonn 77 DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
4. Crank the engine rapidly. Engine must be cranking at 350 rpm or more. If spark jumps the tester gap, you may assume the ignition system is working properly. Repeat on remaining cylin­der spark plug.
5. To determine if an engine miss is ignition related, connect the spark tester in series with the high tension lead and the spark plug. Then, start the engine. If spark jumps the tester gap at regular Intervals, but the engine miss continues, the problem may be in the spark plug or fuel system. Repeat on remaining cylinder spark plug. Proceed to Test 33.
6. If spark jumps the tester gap intermittently, the problem may be in the Ignition Magneto. Proceed to Test 34.
Figure 7-32. – Testing Ignition System
Figure 7-33. – Checking Engine Miss
RESULTS:
1. If no spark or if engine miss is apparent, go to Test 34.
2. If ignition spark is good, go to Test 33.
CYLINDER BALANCE TEST: If the engine is hard starting, runs rough, misses or
lacks power, perform a cylinder balance test to deter­mine whether both cylinders are operating to their full potential.
Tools Required:
1. Two Ignition Testers (Generac P/N OC5969)
Attach an ignition tester between the spark plug lead and each spark plug (Figure 7-33).
Start and run engine running at top no load speed and note spark at ignition testers. If the spark is equal at both ignition testers, the problem is not ignition related. A spark miss will be readily apparent. Now note RPM of engine. Ground out one cylinder by con­tacting ignition tester and a good ground on engine (Figure 7-34). Note RPM loss. Then ground out the other spark plug and note the RPM loss. If the differ­ence between the two cylinders does not exceed 75 RPM, the amount of work the two cylinders are doing should be considered equal.
If the RPM loss is greater than 75 RPM this indicates that the grounded cylinder with the least RPM loss is the weakest of the two cylinders. Look to that cylinder for a problem.
Example:
Engine RPM - Both Cylinders = 2570 RPM
Engine RPM - No. 1 Cylinder Grounded = 2500 RPM
Engine RPM - No. 2 Cylinder Grounded = 2300 RPM
Conclusion: No. 1 cylinder is weakest of the two cylinders.
Figure 7-34. – Cylinder Balance Test
The cylinder balance test will also detect a cylinder that is not functioning. When grounding out one cylin­der there will be no RPM loss. When the other cylin­der is grounded out the engine will stop.

DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
TEST 33 - CHECK SPARK PLUGS
DISCUSSION: During Test 32, if spark jumped the tester gap, the
ignition system must be functioning properly. However, if the engine misses the spark plug itself may be fouled.
PROCEDURE: Remove spark plugs. Clean with a commercial sol-
vent. DO NOT BLAST CLEAN SPARK PLUGS. Replace spark plugs if badly fouled, if ceramic is cracked, or if badly worn or damaged. Set gap to
0.030 inch (0.76mm). Use a Champion RC12YC (or equivalent) replacement spark plug.
Figure 7-35 – Setting Spark Plug Gap
RESULTS:
1. Clean and regap or replace sparks plug as necessary.
2. If spark plugs are good for gasoline models, go to Test 36. For LPG models, go to Test 35.
TEST 34 - CHECK AND ADJUST IGNITION
MAGNETOS
DISCUSSION: The ignition system used on GTV-760 engines is a
solid-state (breakerless) type. The system utilizes a magnet on the engine flywheel to induce a relatively low voltage into an ignition magneto assembly. Ignition magneto internal components increase the voltage and deliver the resulting high voltage across the spark plug gap.
The ignition magneto houses a solid state-circuit board that controls ignition timing. Timing is fixed and spark advance is automatic.
Major components of the ignition system include (a) two ignition magneto assemblies, (b) the spark plugs, (c) the engine control board and (d) the engine fly­wheel.
Solid-state components encapsulated in the ignition magneto are not accessible and cannot be serviced.
If the magneto is defective, the entire assembly must be replaced. The air gap between the magneto and the flywheel magnet is between 0.012” to 0.015”.
The ignition magneto assembly (Figure 7-36) consists of (a) ignition magneto, (b) spark plug high tension lead and (c) spark plug boot.
Figure 7-36. – Ignition Magneto Assembly
In Test 32, a spark tester was used to check for engine ignition. If sparking or weak spark occurred, one possible cause might be the ignition magneto(s). This test consists of adjusting the air gap between the ignition magneto(s) and the flywheel. The flywheel and flywheel key will also be checked during this test. If no sparking occurs, the ground harness may be at fault.
PROCEDURE:
1. Disconnect the J1 connector from the Engine Control Board. Carefully remove Wire 18A from Pin Location J1-4. Connect the J1 connector back to the engine control board. Repeat Test 32 “Check Ignition Spark”. If the unit now produces spark go to Step 2. If the unit does not produce spark or has weak spark go to Step 4.
2. Do the following:
a. Set a VOM to measure resistance. Connect
the positive (+) meter test lead to Wire No.18A (Wire 18A still removed from the J1 connector) Connect the negative (-) meter test lead to a clean frame ground. “Infinity” should be measured, or 0.5 to 1M ohms, depending upon the type of VOM used. If “Continuity” is measured proceed to Step12.
b. Set a VOM to the diode test range. Attach
the negative (-) meter test lead to Pin Location J1-4 on the Engine Control Board. (Wire 18A still removed from the J1 connec­tor) Attach the positive (+) meter test lead to frame ground. Set the Start-Stop Switch to START. “Infinity” should be measure dur­ing cranking and running. If the VOM does not have a diode test range, set VOM to measure resistance again. “Infinity” should be measured.
Page 59
SSeeccttiioonn 77 DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
Page 60
3. If Step 1 produced spark and Step 2 tested good, set the VOM to measure DC voltage. Connect one test lead to Wire 15 (J3 Terminal) on ECB. Connect the other test lead to frame ground. Battery voltage should be measured. Verify that Wire 15 is connected to J3 and that Wire 14 is connected to J2; if reversed the unit will produce no spark.
4. Rotate the flywheel until the magnet is under the module (armature) laminations (see Figure 7-37).
5. Place a 0.012-0.015 inch thickness gauge between the fly­wheel magnet and the module laminations.
6. Loosen the mounting screws and let the magnet pull the mag­neto down against the thickness gauge.
7. Tighten both mounting screws.
8. To remove the thickness gauge, rotate the flywheel.
9. Repeat the above procedure for the second magneto.
Figure 7-37. – Setting Ignition Magneto
(Armature) Air Gap
10. Repeat Test 55 and check for spark across the spark tester gap.
11. If air gap was not out of adjustment, test ground wires.
12. Set the VOM to the diode test position. The meter will display forward voltage drop across the diode. If the voltage drop is less than 0.7 volts, the meter will “Beep” once as well as dis­play the voltage drop. A continuous tone indicates
Continuity” (shorted diode). An incomplete circuit (open diode) will be dis­played as “OL.”
13. Disconnect the engine ground harness from the ignition mag­netos and stud connector (see Figure 7-38).
Figure 7-38. – Engine Ground Harness
Figure 7-39. – Diode Failure Diagnosis
14. Connect the positive (+) test lead to Connector ”A” (as shown in Figure 7-40). Connect the negative (-) test lead to Connector “B.”
a.If meter “Beeps” once and displays voltage
drop, then the diode is good.
b.If the meter makes a continuous tone, the diode
is bad (shorted) and the harness must be replaced.
c. If the meter displays “OL,” the diode is defective
(open) and the harness must be replaced.
d.Now repeat Steps 14a through 14c with the
negative meter test lead connected to Connector “C” (Figure
7-40
).
15. If the ground harness tested good, check Wire 18A between the insulated terminal stud and the J1 Connector for a short to ground. Set a VOM to measure resistance The ground harness should still be disconnected from the ignition magnetos. Connect one meter test lead to Wire 18A which is still removed from the J1 Connector. Connect the other meter test lead to frame ground. “Infinity” should be measured.
RESULTS:
1. If “Infinity” was not measured in Step 2b, replace the Engine Control Board.
Note: If VOM was set to Diode test, a reading of
0.5 volts would be observed when the Start-Stop
Switch is set to STOP. If the VOM was set to resis­tance, a reading of 0.5 to 1.5M ohms would be
SSeeccttiioonn 77
DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
measured. During cranking and running this read­ing should go to “Infinity”. Verify that the meter leads were properly connected as per Step 2 instructions.
2. If battery voltage was not measured in Step 3, reconnect Wire 15 and Wire 14 to their correct terminal locations.
Figure 7-40. – Engine Ground Harness Test Points
3. If “Infinity” was not measured in Step 15, repair or replace grounded Wire 18A between the J1 Connector and the insulat­ed terminal stud or defective insulated terminal stud.
4. If sparking still does not occur after adjusting the armature air gap, testing the ground wires and performing the basic flywheel test, replace the ignition magneto(s).
Note: Before replacing the Ignition Magneto, check the Flywheel Magnet.
CHECKING FLYWHEEL MAGNET: The flywheel magnet rarely loses its magnetism. If
you suspect a magnet might be defective, a rough test can be performed as follows:
1. Place the flywheel on a wooden surface.
2. Hold a screwdriver at the extreme end of its handle and with its point down.
3. Move the tip of the screwdriver to about 3/4 inch (19mm) from the magnet. The screwdriver blade should be pulled in against the magnet.
FLYWHEEL KEY: In all cases, the flywheel taper is locked on the crank-
shaft taper by the torque of the flywheel nut. A key-
way is provided for alignment only and theoretically carries no load.
If the flywheel key becomes sheared or even partially sheared, ignition timing can change. Incorrect timing can result in hard starting or failure to start.
Remove and inspect flywheel key for damage.
TEST 35 - CHECK VALVE ADJUSTMENT
DISCUSSION: The valve lash must be adjusted correctly in order to pro-
vide the proper air/fuel mixture to the combustion chamber.
ADJUSTING VALVE CLEARANCE: Adjust valve clearance with the engine at room tem-
perature. The piston should be at top dead center (TDC) of its compression stroke (both valves closed).
An alternative method is to turn the engine over and position the intake valve fully open (intake valve spring compressed) and adjust the exhaust valve clearance. Turn the engine over and position the exhaust valve fully open (exhaust valve spring com­pressed) and adjust the intake valve clearance.
Correct valve clearance is given below, in INCHES (MILLIMETERS).
IInnttaakkee VVaallvvee 00..000022--00..000044 ((00..0055--00..11)) EExxhhaauusstt VVaallvvee 00..000022--00..000044 ((00..0055--00..11))
1. Loosen the rocker arm jam nut. Use a 10mm allen wrench to turn the pivot ball stud while checking the clearance between the rocker arm and valve stem with a feeler gauge (see Figure 7-41).
Figure 7-41 – Adjusting Valve Clearance
2. When clearance is correct, hold the pivot ball stud with the allen wrench and tighten the rocker arm jam nut to the speci­fied torque with a crow's foot. After tightening the jam nut, recheck valve clearance to make sure it did not change.

INSTALL ROCKER ARM COVER
1. Use a new rocker arm cover gasket. Install the rocker arm cover and retain with four screws.
RESULTS: Adjust valves to specification and retest. If problem
continues, go to Test 38.
TEST 36 - CHECK CARBURETION
DISCUSSION: If the engine cranks but will not start, one possible
cause of the problem might be the carburetion system.
PROCEDURE: Before making a carburetion check, be sure the fuel sup-
ply tank has an ample supply of fresh, clean gasoline. Check that all shutoff valves are open and fuel flows freely through the fuel line.
Make sure the automatic choke operates properly. If the engine will not start, remove and inspect the spark plug. If the spark plug is wet, look for the following:
Overchoking. Excessively rich fuel mixture. Water in fuel. Intake valve stuck open.Needle/float stuck open.
If the spark plug is dry look for the following:
Leaking carburetor mounting gaskets. Intake valve stuck closed. Inoperative fuel pump. Plugged fuel filter(s).Varnished carburetor
If the engine starts hard or will not start, look for the following:
Physical damage to the AC generator. Check the
Rotor for contact with the Stator.
Starting under load. Make sure all loads are discon-
nected or turned off before attempting to crank and start the engine.
Check that the automatic choke is working properly.
RESULTS: If problem has not been solved, go to Test 37. If car-
buretor is varnished, clean or replace.
1. Remove fuel line at carburetor and ensure that there is an ade­quate amount of fuel entering the carburetor.
2. Remove the float bowl and check to see if there is any foreign matter in bottom of carburetor bowl.
3. The float is plastic and can be removed for access to the nee­dle so it can be cleaned.
4. With all of this removed carburetor cleaner can be used to clean the rest of the carburetor before reassembly.
5. After cleaning carburetor with an approved carburetor cleaner, blow dry with compressed air and reassemble.
Shelf life on gasoline is 30 days. Proper procedures need to be taken for carburetors so that the fuel doesn’t varnish over time. A fuel stabilizer must be used at all times in order to ensure that the fuel is fresh at all times.
TEST 37 - CHECK CHOKE SOLENOID
DISCUSSION: The automatic choke is active only during cranking.
When the Start-Stop Switch is held at “START”, a crank relay on the Engine Controller circuit board is energized closed to (a) crank the engine and (b) deliver a cyclic voltage to the Choke Solenoid via Wire 90. The Choke Solenoid will be pulled in for about two seconds, then deactivate for about two seconds. This cyclic choking action will continue as long as the engine is being cranked.
PROCEDURE:
1. Operational Check: Crank the engine. While cranking, the choke solenoid should pull in about every 2 seconds (2 sec­onds ON, 2 seconds OFF). If the choke solenoid does not pull in, try adjusting the choke as follows.
2. Pre-Choke Adjustment: With the CHOKE SOLENOID not actu­ated, the carburetor CHOKE PLATE should be approximately 1/8 Inch from its full open position. Verify choke is completely open once engine is warmed up. If not, power will be down and emissions will be up. Adjust position of BI-METAL HEATER ASSEMBLY by loosening screws until unit starts when cold and the choke closes when engine is up to temperature. Tighten the screws to complete the adjustment.
3. Choke Solenoid Adjustment: Loosen the screws that retain the CHOKE SOLENOID to its bracket. Slide the CHOKE SOLE­NOID in the slotted holes of the bracket to adjust axial move-

ment of the SOLENOID PLUNGER. Adjust SOLENOID PLUNGER movement until, with the carburetor CHOKE PLATE closed, the CHOKE SOLENOID is bottomed in its coil (plunger at full actuated position). With the CHOKE PLATE closed and the plunger bottomed in its coil, tighten the two screws.
4. Disconnect Connector 1: Set the VOM to measure DC voltage. Connect the positive (+) test lead to Wire 90 (Pin 2) of Connector 1 going to the control panel. Connect the negative (-) test lead to frame ground. Activate the Start-Stop Switch to “START.” During cranking, battery voltage should be measured cyclically every two seconds.
Figure 7-43. – Connector 1
5. If battery voltage was not measured in Step 4, check at J1 Connector: Connect positive (+) test lead to Pin Location J1-2 at the engine control board. Connect the negative (-) test lead to frame ground. Activate the Start-Stop Switch to “START.” During cranking, battery voltage should be measured cyclically every two seconds.
6. Set the VOM to measure resistance.
Disconnect Connector 1
from the Choke Solenoid.
Connect one test lead to Wire 0 (Pin
1) of Connector 1, going to the control panel. Connect the other test lead to frame ground.
Continuity” should be measured.
7. Set the VOM to measure resistance. Disconnect Connector 1. Connect one meter test lead to Wire 90 (Connector 1, Pin 2) going to the Choke Solenoid. Connect the other meter test lead to Wire 0 (Connector 1, Pin 1). Approximately 3.7 ohms should be measured. (Current draw of Choke Solenoid at nominal volt­age is 3.4 amps).
Short to Ground:
8. Set the VOM to measure resistance. Disconnect Connector 1. Connect one meter test lead to Wire 90 (Connector 1, Pin 2). Connect the other meter test lead to the metal Choke Solenoid housing. “Infinity” should be measured. If “Continuity” is mea­sured, a short to ground exists.
RESULTS:
1. If Choke operation is good, go to Test 35 for Problem 7, “Engine Cranks but Won’t Start” (Section 6). Go to Test 41 for Problem 8, “Engine Starts Hard and Runs Rough”.
2. If battery voltage was measured in Step 5 but not measured in Step 4, repair or replace Wire 90 between Engine Control Board (ECB) and Connector 1.
3. If battery voltage is not measured in Step 5 during engine cranking, replace Engine Control Board.
4. If
Continuity” is not measured in Step 6, repair or replace Wire
0 between the ground terminal and Connector 1.
5. If Choke Solenoid coil resistance is not measured or is incor­rect in Step 7, replace the Choke Solenoid.

TEST 38 - CHECK ENGINE / CYLINDER LEAK
DOWN TEST / COMPRESSION TEST
GENERAL: Most engine problems may be classified as one or a
combination of the following:
Will not start.Starts hard.Lack of power.Runs rough.Vibration.Overheating.High oil consumption.
DISCUSSION: The Cylinder Leak Down Tester checks the sealing
(compression) ability of the engine by measuring air leakage from the combustion chamber. Compression loss can present many different symptoms. This test is designed to detect the section of the engine where the fault lies before disassembling the engine.
PROCEDURE:
1. Remove a spark plug.
2. Gain access to the flywheel. Remove the valve cover.
3. Rotate the engine crankshaft until the piston reaches top dead center (TDC). Both valves should be closed.
4. Lock the flywheel at top dead center.
5. Attach cylinder leak down tester adapter to spark plug hole.
6. Connect an air source of at least 90 psi to the leak down tester.
7. Adjust the regulated pressure on the gauge to 80 psi.
8. Read the right hand gauge on the tester for cylinder pressure. 20 percent leakage is normally acceptable. Use good judgement, and listen for air escaping at the carburetor, the exhaust, and the crankcase breather. This will determine where the fault lies.
9. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 on remaining cylinder.
RESULTS:
Air escapes at the carburetor – check intake valve.Air escapes through the exhaust – check exhaust
valve.
Air escapes through the breather – check piston
rings.
Air escapes from the cylinder head – the head gas-
ket should be replaced.
CHECK COMPRESSION: Lost or reduced engine compression can result in (a)
failure of the engine to start, or (b) rough operation.
One or more of the following will usually cause loss of compression:
Blown or leaking cylinder head gasket.Improperly seated or sticking-valves.Worn Piston rings or cylinder. (This will also result
in high oil consumption).
NOTE: It is extremely difficult to obtain an accu­rate compression reading without special equip­ment. For that reason, compression values are not published for the V-Twin engine. Testing has proven that an accurate compression indication can be obtained using the following method.
PROCEDURE:
1. Remove both spark plugs.
2. Insert a compression gauge into either cylinder.
3. Crank the engine until there is no further increase in pressure.
4. Record the highest reading obtained.
5. Repeat the procedure for the remaining cylinder and record the highest reading.
RESULTS: The difference in pressure between the two cylinders
should not exceed 25 percent. If the difference is greater than 25 percent, loss of compression in the lowest reading cylinder is indicated.
Example 1: If the pressure reading of cylinder #1 is 165 psi and of cylinder #2, 160 psi, the difference is 5 psi. Divide "5" by the highest reading (165) to obtain the percentage of 3.0 percent.
Example 2: No. 1 cylinder reads 160 psi; No. 2 cylin­der reads 100 psi. The difference is 60 psi. Divide "60" by "160" to obtain "37.5" percent. Loss of compression in No. 2 cylinder is indicated.
If compression is poor, look for one or more of the fol­lowing causes:
Loose cylinder head bolts.Failed cylinder head gasket. Burned valves or valve seats.Insufficient valve clearance.Warped cylinder head.Warped valve stem.Worn or broken piston ring(s).Worn or damaged cylinder bore.Broken connecting rod.Worn valve seats or valves.Worn valve guides.
NOTE: Refer to Engine Service manual No. 0E2081 for further engine service information.

TEST 39 - CHECK OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
DISCUSSION: Also see “Operational Analysis” on Pages 18-23. The
Low Oil Pressure Switch is normally-closed, but is held open by engine oil pressure during cranking and startup. Should oil pressure drop below a safe level, the switch contacts will close to ground the Wire 85 circuit. Engine controller board action will then initiate an automatic shutdown.
If the switch fails CLOSED, the engine will crank and start, but will then shut down after a few seconds.
If the switch fails OPEN, low oil pressure will not result in automatic shutdown.
Figure 7-46. – Oil Pressure Switch
PROCEDURE:
1. Check engine oil level. If necessary, replenish oil level to the dipstick “FULL” mark.
2. Set a VOM to its “Rx1” scale and zero the meter.
3. Connect the meter test leads across the switch terminals, with engine shut down. The meter should read
Continuity”. A small
amount of resistance is acceptable.
4. Crank the engine. Oil pressure should open the switch contacts at some point while cranking and starting. Meter should then indicate “Infinity”.
5. If the contacts did not open in Step 5, remove the low oil pres­sure switch and connect an oil pressure gauge in it’s place. Start the engine and measure oil pressure. Pressure should be above 10 psi.
RESULTS:
1. In Step 3, if “Continuity” is not indicated, replace the switch.
2. If oil pressure checked good in Step 5, but Step 4 measured “Infinity,” replace the low oil pressure switch.
3. If oil pressure is below 10 psi, determine cause of low oil pres­sure. Refer to Engine Service manual No. 0E2081 for further engine service information. Verify that the oil is the proper vis­cosity for the climate and season.
4. If all steps check GOOD, go to Test 40.
TEST 40 - TEST OIL TEMPERATURE SWITCH
DISCUSSION: If the engine cranks, starts and then shuts down, one
possible cause of the problem may be a high oil tem­perature condition. Protective shutdown is a normal occurrence if the oil temperature switch exceeds approximately 270°F for gasoline units, or 284°F for LP units.
Figure 7-47. – Oil Temperature Switch
PROCEDURE:
1. Remove Wire 85 from Oil Temperature Switch terminal and start the generator. If engine starts and runs now, but shuts down when Wire 85 is connected to the switch terminal, the fol­lowing possibilities exist:
a.Oil temperature is too high. b.The oil temperature switch has failed closed or
is shorted to ground.
2. Remove the switch and place its sensing tip into oil (Figure 7-
48). Place a thermometer into the oil.
3. Connect the test leads of a VOM across the switch terminals. The meter should read “Infinity”.
4. Heat the oil. When oil temperature reaches approximately 270­284°F., the switch contacts should close and the meter should read “Continuity”.
Page 65
SSeeccttiioonn 77 DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICC TTEESSTTSS
Figure 7-48. – Testing Oil Temperature Switch
RESULTS:
1. If the Oil Temperature Switch fails Step 3 or Step 4, replace the Oil Temperature Switch.
2. If the Oil Temperature Switch is good, an overheat condition may be occurring. Verify that the installation of the generator is within specified tolerances. The generator must receive the proper amount of incoming air, and also be able to exhaust the cooling air with NO RESTRICTIONS. Check to be sure that the exhaust pipe is not under the air intake. Refer to the Owner’s and Installation Manual for proper installation specifications. If installation is correct, go to Test 24.
TEST 41 - TEST CHOKE HEATER
DISCUSSION: The Choke Heater is a sensitive heating element
wrapped around a temperature sensitive Bi-Metal strip. The BI-METAL HEATER ASSEMBLY positions the Choke Plate during startup. Once running, the Bi­Metal Heater Assembly will also allow the Choke Plate to fully open. Power for the heater element is supplied from Wire 14 to assist the Bi-Metal Heater Assembly in opening the Choke Plate after starting. Failure of the Choke Plate to open will cause an excessively rich fuel-air mixture and engine perfor­mance will suffer.
PROCEDURE:
1. Verify that the Choke Plate on the carburetor is mechanically free to move and is not binding. If the engine runs rough, check the operation of the BI-METAL HEATER ASSEMBLY. Allow the engine to run for five minutes, then inspect the choke posi­tion. The Bi-Metal strip should have been heated by the Choke Heater and should have expanded to allow the Choke Plate to open fully.
2. If the Choke Plate did not open in Step 1, check the Choke Heater. Set the VOM to measure DC voltage. Disconnect Connector 1 at the Choke Assembly. Connect the positive (+) meter test lead to Wire 14 (Connector 1, Pin 3) going to the control panel. Connect the negative (-) meter test lead to a clean frame ground. Set the Start-Stop Switch to “START.” Battery voltage should be measured (see Figure 7-43 on Page 63).
3. If battery voltage was not measured in Step 2, set the VOM to measure resistance. Disconnect Connector 1 at the Choke Assembly. Connect one meter test lead to Wire 14 (Connector 1, Pin 3) going to the control panel. Connect the other meter test lead to the 4-tab Terminal for Wire 14 in the control panel. “Continuity” should be measured.
SHORT TO GROUND: Set the VOM to measure resistance. Connect one
meter test lead to Wire 14 (Connector 1, Pin 3) going to the Bi-Metal Heater Assembly. Connect the other meter test lead to the exposed steel portion of the Bi-Metal Heater Assembly. Approximately 37 ohms (±20%) should be measured. (Current draw of the Bi-Metal Heater Assembly at nominal voltage is approximately 340 milliamps or 0.340 amps). If “Continuity” is present the Bi-Metal Heater Assembly has a short to ground.
RESULTS:
1. If Choke Plate is binding in Step 1, repair or replace binding Choke Plate. If Bi-Metal Heater Assembly tests good, go to Test 35.
2. If continuity was not measured in Step 3, repair or replace Wire 14 between the 4-tab Terminal and Connector 1.
3. If the resistance value is incorrect in the Short to Ground step, or the Bi-Metal Heater Assembly does not function with voltage present, replace the Bi-Metal Heater Assembly.
TEST 42 - CHECK LPG FUEL SOLENOID
DISCUSSION: If the LPG Fuel Solenoid (FS) fails to open, fuel will not be available to the engine and it will not start.
PROCEDURE:
1. Place one hand on the top of the LPG Fuel Solenoid. Activate the Fuel Prime Switch. You should be able to feel as well as hear the solenoid energize. If solenoid energizes discontinue testing.
2. Set VOM to measure resistance. Disconnect Wire 0 from the LPG Fuel Solenoid. Connect one meter test lead to Wire 0. Connect the other test lead to a clean frame ground. “Continuity” should be measured. Reconnect Wire 0 to LPG shut off valve.

SHORT TO GROUND: Set VOM to measure resistance. Disconnect Wire
14A from the LPG Fuel Solenoid. Connect one meter test lead to LPG Fuel Solenoid. terminal that Wire 14A was just removed from. Connect the other meter test lead to a clean frame ground. LPG Fuel Solenoid. coil resistance of approximately 30-32 ohms Should be measured. Current draw of the LPG Fuel Solenoid at nominal voltage Is approximately 380 milliamps or
0.380 amps.
RESULTS:
1. If the solenoid energized in Step 1, proceed to Test 32.
2. If “Continuity” was not measured in Step 2 repair or replace Wire 0 between the LPG Fuel Solenoid (FS) and the Ground Terminal (GT) in the control panel.
3. If “Continuity” was measured in Step 2, repair or replace the Fuel Solenoid (FS).
