update power problem observations
NO do not pull that switch apart. The guages you just talked about would not
have volts on them if the rotor switch is bad. Now I also have very low or no amps unless I am using a 110v item. remember your water heater is on one leg and the insta hot or eng block heater or 110v lighting will be on the other. BEFORE disassembly of any item turn on all of the 110v items to verify if the side has no draw. ALSO start your GEN and put it online. Again check all the 110v to see if there is a change.

There are four big wires a big red one that goes to one of the 50 amp breakers, a black one that goes to the other, a white that goes to the bar with all the other little white ones and a green that goes to the other side with all the bare copper ones. I checked with my test light that lights for 110 and another light for 220, and when i touched the place where the red wire connects to the breaker and either the green or white bar it reads 110. when i do the same with the black wire on the other 50 amp breaker the same happens. I took the little plastic thing that holds the two 50 amp breakers together off and when i flip the top one the plugs that have lamps plugged into them go out, when I flip the other one the heater in the bathroom goes off. So both are doing something. Also, the gauges in the upper dash labeled ac voltage are reading:leg 1 120, leg 2 120. the gauges labeled ac amperage leg 1 reads zero and leg 2 reads 10. I looked for gfi plugs and found none. should I take the switch apart that I use to select genarator 30 or 50 amp? I tried to work it with the genarator and the same problem was there. Im so confused. Robert Rahn 88 pt 40 Kalispell, Mt. ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
