Another generator problem? Two questions?

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Great Tom, good find. I had to assume the relay coil was suspect since the
power at P was good. Another thing is good out of this, now we also know
what shut the running gen set down in the first place. It is good to fix
the present problem, but after that one needs to question the why.

On the temp. question? is your cooling fan running full speed? And I would
check the actual temp, the sender could be off or the gauge.

Leroy has a better idea on that having been there done that.

Safe travels,
