genny issues any help appreciated
#17
According to the manual the low oil pressure, high coolant temp and low coolant level sensors are all normally open. In which case disconnecting and isolating one of the two wires will prevent the sensor from shutting down the engine.

Manual doesn't specify the high exhaust temperature switch but I suspect it also is NO. If you want to be sure take one wire off and check both terminals with ohm meter. Or just disconnect one wire and see if it starts and runs. If engine stops right away the sensor is likely normally closed in which case the two wires need to be tied together to bypass switch.

Have you noticed which LEDs are lit when the unit shuts down? They apparently cooresond to relays being energized. From what I can tell if LED 4 lights up, that means the control mechanism is purposely shutting down the generator indicating a sensor fault or a faulty start/stop switch, etc. otherwise it could be something outside of the control system such as fuel delivery, ignition problems, anti diesel solenoid, etc. A lot to throw at you but this may give you another clue.

I believe generators were put on this earth to destroy the will of good men who love the sea.
