12.5 Kohlar question(s)

[Chuck Wheeler]

Thanks Ralph, I kind of guessed that you
would be the one to reply!

I would appreciate the picture! Usually
I can figure things out, but there is no logical place for the spring I can
see. I have the generator out and am trying to get every thing done by
next Saturday. That’s when I have to return the pallet jack that I
used to remove it and that it is currently sitting on. I would gladly pay
you for it plus the shipping costs. I am not sure why they put a 12.5kw
in a FC31. It is on a smaller tray than normal and is very cramped to try
and work on when installed. That’s why I decided to take it out and
do everything right.

One question I forgot. My high temperature
cutoff sensor did not pass the test. I discovered that there are two resistance
sensors installed like would be used for a temperature gauge. The cutoff
should be a switch. I am guessing it would be set for 200-210
degrees. Do you have any information about the cutoff sensor?

My guess is that we will probably be out
of town during the X-Mas Rally. During the holiday season Kathy’s
Real Estate work slows down and we usually are travelling to visit family for
the Holidays.

Hi Chuck:



Tomorrow I will take a photo of the spring location and send it.

2. Are you going to be at the X-Mas Rally? if so I will bring you a boot

for it.

3. The micro switch was an add on for some reason and not needed.



Safe travels,
