4.5Fuel Solenoid
The fuel solenoid pulls the injector pump lever to the fuel
on position when energized. The fuel solenoid is spring
loaded to return the injector pump lever to the fuel off
position when deenergized.
The generator set uses a three-lead fuel solenoid. This
solenoid has a white lead (P) which energizes the pull-in
coil only during cranking. During operation, the red lead
energizes the hold coil and the black lead is the common
ground.
Figure 4-3 shows the current (amps) and resistance
readings. Disconnect the fuel solenoid from the engine
wiring harness and take the resistance readings to
determine if the solenoid windings are open or shorted.
In addition to the ohmmeter test, check for smooth,
non-binding movement of the plunger. Be sure to adjust
the linkage between the fuel solenoid and the fuel
injection pump lever to allow the solenoid plunger to fully
compress. Incorrect adjustment may cause burnout of
the pull-in coil. If the fuel solenoid is removed, see
Figure 4-4 and use the following procedure.

5.4Check and Fill the Cooling
System
Each marine generator set has a water-cooled exhaust
manifold. The coolant solution circulates through the
manifold, reducing the amount of heat radiated from the
exhaust into the surrounding area.
The engine thermostat is located in the water-cooled
exhaust manifold. See Section 1 for the thermostat
location. See Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3 for exhaust
manifold bolt tightening sequence and torques.

Before filling the cooling system, close all the petcocks
and tighten all of the hose clamps. Usea solution of 50%
ethylene glycol and 50% fresh, softened water to inhibit
rust/corrosion and prevent freezing.Add additional
coolant, as necessary, to the coolant recovery tank.
Maintain the level in the coolant recovery tank at
approximately 1/4 full. Periodically check the coolant
level on closed systems by removing the pressure cap.
Do not rely solely on the level in the coolant recovery
tank. Add fresh coolant until the level is just below the
overflow tube opening.
5.5Flush and Fill the Cooling
System
For optimum protection drain, flush and refill the cooling
system at the interval listed in the service schedule.
1. Open the petcocks located at the heat exchanger,
engine block, and cooling system and let the
system drain completely. The petcocks on some
models are located behind the belt guard. Remove
the pressure cap to simplify draining.

Tightening Sequence
5.3Closed Heat Exchanger
In a closed cooling system, the seawater circulates
through separate chambers within the heat exchanger
to cool the engine coolant. The seawater then mixes
with engine exhaust and ejects out the exhaust outlet.
See Section 1.2 for the coolant capacities; include
coolant recovery tank capacity of 0.24 L (8.0 oz.). See
Section 1.2 for the thermostat and pressure cap ratings.
Note: Use antifreeze capable of withstanding the
lowest possible temperatures.
2. Drain, clean, and flush the coolant recovery tank.
3. Flush the cooling system with clean water.
4. Fill the cooling system with recommended coolant.
Note: Pay special attention to the coolant level. After
the coolant drains, allow time for complete refill of
the engine water jacket. Check coolant level as
prescribed in the prestart checklist in the
operation manual.

ground circuit to the K4 relay until the generator set
comes to a complete stop.
6.3.3Controller Circuit Board
Some controller circuit board components can be tested
without removing the component from the circuit board.
Perform these checks prior to installing a new circuit
board and attempting startup.Refer to Figure 6-3,
troubleshooting flow chart.
The controller circuit board has light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) which indicate relay coil power and aid in the
circuit board and the generator fault detection. When
any of relays K1--K5 receive power, the corresponding
LED lights. See Figure 6-2. The LED does not indicate
whether the relay coil is energized. Determine if the
relay coil is energized by analyzing the generator faults
by performing a continuity test on the relay coil.
Before beginning the troubleshooting procedures, read
all the safety precautions at the beginning of this
manual. The following tests include additional safety
precautions; OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS!
WARNING

7.2General Troubleshooting
To determine the cause of no- or low-AC output , refer to
the following steps and the troubleshooting flow chart
(Figure 7-1).
1. Check the condition of the voltage regulator 8-amp
fuse.
2. If the fuse is good, separately excite the generator.
(See Section 7.3)The separate excitation test
duplicates the role of the voltage regulator in
providing the excitation current to the rotor.

7.3Separate Excitation
By separately exciting the generator to determine the
presence of a faulty voltage regulator, it is possible to
determine if a running fault exists in the rotor and/or
stator. A generator component that appears good while
static (stationary) may exhibit a running open or short
circuit while dynamic (moving). Short circuits can be
caused by centrifugal forces acting on the windings
during rotation or insulation breakdown as temperatures
increase.
1. Disconnect all of the leads from the voltage
regulator.
2. Disconnect the P6 (F1, F2) connector.
3. Connect separate excitation circuit as shown in
Figure 7-2. Connect an ammeter and a 10 amp
fuse in series with F1.Note and record the
ammeter reading.
4. The approximate ammeter reading should be
battery voltage divided by the specified exciter
resistances (cold). Disconnect the resistor leads
and determine the exciter current value using an
ohmmeter. See Section 1, Specifications, for the
normal values.
Example:
Note: See Section 1, Specifications, for the stator
outputvoltages(withseparatelyexcited
generator). These specifications are based on a
battery voltage of 12. Should the battery voltage
vary (11--14 volts), the resulting stator output
values will also vary.

5. Start the engine and check that the ammeter
remains stable.An increasing meter reading
indicates a shorted exciter field or inoperative F1
resistor. A decreasing meter reading to zero, or
unstable reading, suggests a running open in the
exciter or F1 resistor. If the ammeter is stable,
continue with step 6.
6. Check for AC output across the stator leads and
compareittothevaluesinSection 1,
Specifications. If the output varies considerably
from those listed, a faulty stator, rotor, rectifier
module, or armature is likely.
If the AC output is not within specifications, the voltage
regulator is probably inoperative.If there is no
generator output during normal operation, but output is
available when the generator set is separately excited,
the voltage regulator is probably inoperative.
7.4PowerBoost V Voltage
Regulators
The generator set is equipped with a PowerBoostt V
voltage regulator. See Figure 7-3. The PowerBoostt V
voltage regulator monitors output voltage magnitude to
control the current to the generator exciter field. The
voltage regulator has an underfrequency unloading
feature that is referred to as volts-per-Hz (V/Hz). To
determine if the voltage regulator is functioning, reduce
the engine speed (Hz) and watch for a corresponding
drop in the AC voltage. The AC voltage should remain
constant until the engine speed drops below 57.5 Hz on
60 Hz models or 47.5 Hz on 50 Hz models.
When the frequency drops below either 57.5 or 47.5 Hz,
the AC voltage should decline. Perform the following
test to check the regulator output.
The following components will be needed to test the
voltage regulator:
D Step-up transformer, 1:2, 120 volts to 240 volts
(1.0 amp min.)
D Variable transformer, 0--140 volts (1.0 amp min.)
D Lamp, 250-volt, 100-watt
D AC voltmeter, 250 volt minimum
3. Plug the power cord into the outlet.
4. Turn the power supply on.The AC voltmeter
should indicate a power supply voltage of
200--240 volts. The lamp should be off. If lamp is
lit, replace the voltage regulator.
5. Slowly turn the volts adjustment pot clockwise. The
lamp should light. Replace the voltage regulator if
the lamp does not light.
D Fuse, 1-amp
D Switch, 1 single-pole single-throw (SPST) 1 amp
(minimum)
D Plug, 120-volt AC (200--240 volt AC plug optional)
D Copper wire, #14 AWG (minimum)
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
areinplace.
High voltage test. Hazardous voltage can cause severe
injury or death. Follow the instructions of the test equipment
manufacturer when performing high-voltage tests on the rotor
or stator. An improper test procedure can damage equipment
or lead to generator set failure.
Voltage Regulator Test Procedure
1. Connect the components as shown in Figure 7-3.
If a 200--240 volt power source is available, the
step-up transformer is not required.
The voltage regulator is factory set and, under normal
circumstances,requiresnofurtheradjustment.
However, if the voltage regulator has been replaced, or
tampered with, or if voltage/frequency reconnection has
been done, readjust the voltage regulator according to
the following procedure.The voltage regulator

6. Adjust the engine speed to the specified cut-in
frequency as measured on the frequency meter.
The factory setting is 57.5--58 Hz for 60 Hz models
and 47.5--48 Hz for 50 Hz models.
7. Rotate the volts/Hz pot clockwise until the voltage
level as measured on the voltmeter begins to drop.
When the regulator is set to these specifications,
the generator will attempt to maintain normal
output until the engine speed drops below the
frequency set in step 6 as load is applied.
8. Readjust the engine speed to 1800 rpm for 60 Hz
models and 1500 rpm for 50 Hz models.
9. Readjust the voltage adjustment pot until the

3. Disconnect the P6 connector (F1/F2 leads).
4. Check the exciter field resistance by connecting an
ohmmeter across exciter field F1 and F2 leads.
See Section 1, Specifications, for the resistance
reading for a cold exciter field.A low reading
indicates an internal short and a high reading
indicates an open winding. Repair or replace the
exciter field if the ohmmeter readings indicate a
inoperative exciter field (Refer to Section 9 for
removal). If the resistance test is inconclusive,
perform a megohmmeter test on the exciter field as
described in the next step.
5. Check the exciter field for a short to ground
condition. Use a megohmmeter to apply 500 volts
DCtotheF1orF2leadandtheexciterfieldframe.
Followthemegohmmetermanufacturer’s
instructions for using the megohmmeter. A reading
of approximately 500 kOhms (1/2 megohm) and
higher indicates the field winding is good.A
reading of less than approximately 500 kOhms
indicates deterioration of the winding insulation
and possible current flow to ground. Replace the
exciter field.

Armature
The exciter armature supplies excitation current to the
generator main field through the rectifier module. Test
the exciter armature as described in the following steps.
Exciter Armature Test Procedure
1. Disassemble the alternator. Refer to Section 9.
2. With the alternator disassembled, disconnect the
armature leads from the rectifier module AC
terminals. Refer to Section 9.
3. With an ohmmeter on the R x 1 scale, check the
resistance across the exciter armature leads. See
Figure 7-8. See Section 1, Specifications, for the
armature resistance. No continuity indicates an
open armature winding. If the resistance test is
inconclusive, perform a megohmmeter test on the
exciter armature as described in the next step.
Note: Consider the exciter armature good if the
resistance reading (continuity) is low and
there is no evidence of a shorted winding
(heat discoloration).
4. Check the exciter armature winding for a short to
ground condition. Use a megohmmeter to apply
500 volts DC to either armature lead and the
armature frame.Follow the megohmmeter
manufacturer’sinstructionsforusingthe
megohmmeter.See Figure 7-9.A reading of
approximately 500 kOhms (1/2 megohm) and
higher indicates the exciter armature is good. A
reading of less than approximately 500 kOhms
indicates deterioration of the winding insulation
and possible current flow to ground. Replace the
exciter armature.
The rectifier module converts the AC from the exciter
armature to DC, which magnetizes the generator main
field.Test the rectifier module as described in the
following steps.
Rectifier Module Test Procedure
1. Disconnect the exciter armature and the main field
leads from the rectifier module.
2. Use an ohmmeter on the R x 100 scale to check the
resistance between the rectifier diodes as shown in
Figure 7-10. The ohmmeter should show a low
resistance in one direction and, upon reversing the
ohmmeter leads, a high resistance in the other
direction. Replace the rectifier module if any of the
diodes test differently than described.
7.9Rotor
The generator rotor (magnetized by DC from the rectifier
module) rotating within the stator windings induces AC
in the stator windings. Test the generator rotor (main
field) as described in the following steps. Disassemble
thegeneratorpriortoperformingthistest.

2. Check the main field resistance by connecting an
ohmmeter across the main field F+ and F-- leads.
See Figure 7-11. See Section 1 for the resistance
reading. A low reading indicates an internal short
and a high reading indicates an open winding.
Repair or replace the main field if the ohmmeter
readings indicate the main field is inoperative. If
the resistance test is inconclusive, perform a
megohmmeter test on the main field as described
in the next step.
3. Check the main field for a short to ground condition
by using a megohmmeter. Apply 500 volts DC to
either field lead and the main field frame. Follow
the megohmmeter manufacturer’s instructions for
using the megohmmeter.See Figure 7-12.A
reading of 500 kOhms (1/2 megohm) and higher
indicates the main field is good. A reading of less
than 500 kOhms indicates deterioration of the
winding insulation and possible current flow to
ground. Replace the main field.

7.10 Stator
The stator consists of a series of coils of wire laid in a
laminated steel frame. The stator leads supply voltage
to the AC load and exciter regulator.
Before testing the stator, inspect it for heat discoloration
and visible damage to the housing lead wires and
exposed and varnished areas of the frame laminations.
Be sure the stator is securely fastened in the stator
housing.
The stator produces electrical output (AC) as the
magnetized main field rotates within the stator windings.
Test the condition of the stator according to the following
procedure.
Leads 1, 2, 3, and 4 are the generator output leads.
Leads 55 and 66 are the voltage regulator supply and
sensing leads. The output of leads B1 and B2 is rectified
by BR1 to supply the control voltage. BR1 is located on
the controller circuit board. Refer to the schematic in
Figure 7-13 when performing the following tests.
Stator Test Procedure
1. Place the start/stop switch in the STOP position.
2. Disconnect the generator set engine starting
battery, negative (--) lead first.
3. Check the generator output lead connections. See

from each winding and the stator frame. Follow the
megohmmeter manufacturer’s instructions for
using the megohmmeter. Repeat the test on the
other leads until all the stator windings have been
tested. A reading of 500 kOhms (1/2 megohm) and

Section 10 Voltage Reconnection and Wiring Diagrams
10.1 4-Lead Reconnection
The following information illustrates the reconnection of
4-lead generator sets. In all cases, follow the National
Electrical Code (NEC).
NOTICE
Voltage reconnection. Affix a notice to the generator set after
reconnecting the set to a voltage different from the voltage on
the nameplate. Order voltage reconnection decal 246242
from an authorized service distributor/dealer.
10.1.1 100--120-Volt Configurations
If the installation requires a factory two-pole circuit
breaker, do not connect the load-side terminals of the
circuit breaker together.See Figure 10-1.If the
installation requires a 100--120-volt, 2-wire system, use
a single-pole circuit breaker. See Figure 10-2. When
connecting stator phase leads together, size the output
lead (L1) accordingly to handle the amperage. Use a
jumper lead on the line side of the circuit breaker to
balance the load of the generator set.

The 100--120/200--240-volt configuration does not use
a jumper lead. If the unit was originally wired for straight
100--120 volt, 3 wire, remove the jumper lead (see
Figure 10-1 for location).Select a two-pole circuit
breaker. Application of two single-pole circuit breakers
does not conform to NEC requirements for supplying a
200--240-voltload,evenifthebreakersare
mechanically attached together. Leads L1 and L2 are
for different phases; never connect them together.
10.1.3 200--240-Volt Configurations
The 200--240-volt configuration does not use a jumper
lead. If the unit was originally wired for straight 100--120
volt, 3 wire, remove the jumper lead (see Figure 10-1 for
location).
10.2 12-Lead Reconnection
The following reconnection procedure details voltage
reconnections only.If the generator set requires
frequency changes, adjust the governor and voltage
regulator as described earlier in Section 7.5.
The following information illustrates the reconnection of
12-lead generator sets. In all cases, follow the National
Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines.
Reconnect the stator leads of the generator set to
change output phase or voltage. Refer to the following
procedure and connection schematics. Follow all safety
precautions at the front of this manual during
reconnection procedure.
NOTICE
Voltage reconnection. Affix a notice to the generator set after
reconnecting the set to a voltage different from the voltage on
the nameplate. Order voltage reconnection decal 246242
from an authorized service distributor/dealer.
Reconnection Procedure
1. Move the generator set start/stop switch to STOP
position.
2. Disconnect the engine starting battery, the
negative (--) lead first. Disconnect the power to the
battery charger, if equipped.
3. Use Figure 10-3 or Figure 10-4 to determine the
generator set voltage configuration.Note the
original voltage and reconnect as needed.

Appendix B Common Hardware Application Guidelines
Use the information below and on the following pages to
identify proper fastening techniques when no specific
reference for reassembly is made.
Bolt/Screw Length: Whenbolt/screw length is not given,
use Figure 1 as a guide. As a general rule, a minimum
length of one thread beyond the nut and a maximum
length of 1/2 the bolt/screw diameter beyond the nut is
the preferred method.
Washers and Nuts: Use split lock washers as a bolt
locking device where specified. Use SAE flat washers
with whiz nuts, spiralock nuts, or standard nuts and
preloading (torque) of the bolt in all other applications.
See Appendix C, General Torque Specifications, and
other torque specifications in the service literature.
For round and slotted exit holes, determine if
hardware is greater than 1/2 inch in diameter, or
1/2 inch in diameter or less.Hardware that is
greater than 1/2 inch in diameter takes a standard
nut and SAE washer. Hardware 1/2 inch or less in
diameter can take a properly torqued whiz nut or
spiralock nut. See Figure 2.
3. Follow these SAE washer rules after determining
exit hole type:
a. Always use a washer between hardware and a
slot.
b. Always use a washer under a nut (see 2 above
for exception).
c. Use a washer under a bolt when the female
thread is fixed (weld nut).
Unacceptable Nut/Bolt Clearance
