No, I did not test with a meter. I unplugged shore before I ever opened the box. Somewhere on the internet (so it must be true) mentioned that the contactors should be able to be pressed down easily. This happens on the generator side but not the shore side. That's where I stopped. To be...
@danemayer thanks, I'll call them on Monday.
@david-steph2018 I did completely disconnect both sides of the switch but I didn't touch the gauge wiring. That can be my next step. I hadn't thought about the gauge as being a place for a short.
I will disassemble everything Sunday when we get back. At least I have a generator and batteries connected to an inverter. The only thing I need the generator for is A/C.
Regarding the first issue, no shore power, I was able to identify that the transfer switch has an issue. The contactor on the generator side (blue) moves freely while the shore side (red) is stuck up.
Anyone know if this is repairable or need to replace entire transfer switch?
Hey, how about that? LOL
Handed wife panel before looking at it.
That fuse is identified as FP. Still not sure since fuel is still flowing to the generator. Could be the fuel station (which I have never used).
I have an issue where shore power does not work, but Gen power does. This should isolate the issue to the transfer switch. I am going to look at that this morning. The second issue, not sure if it is relates or not is that I have a 20A fuse that is blown. I replaced the fuse and it...
The solenoid seems to move easily. I disassembled it an was able to verify it is not stuck. I have altitude set for sea level. Which is probably within 500 feet.
The other carb was not brand new. It was my old one that had issues. I bought a new one (current) before attempting to clean/rebuild the old one. After cleaning and rebuilding, we did test and made sure it worked. I thought I completely cleaned it and dried it out prior to storage. I must...
Ugh, my other carb won't even run! I hate this thing! I know I completely disassembled everything, soaked in SeaFoam, blown out with compressed air and still won't start.
Yes, I saw your page. I will try the solenoid tapping tonight. I am still going through the rest of the posts.
Thanks for the explanation on the float. I guess the pump is working as it should be.
Tonight I finished draining the fuel tank and lines. I disconnected the fuel filter from the pump and added a new one. I had a secondary line going directly into a gas can with fresh fuel and 2oz of seafoam. Generator still starts and surges, no nasty crap spewing out of the exhaust. ran it...
