kilalove21 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 i started my 738 and it seems to be charging but the voltage is jumping all around on my volt meter and making my tach dance all around too. i didn't have time to check with a meter as it is at my shop and my 4 and 5 year old daughters were with me. am i wrong or should the regulator send out a constant voltage? or even worse yet, could the generator be going out?
BLT Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 The regulator needs an adjustment. Take both generator and regulator to a repair shop and and have them 'matched up'.
kilalove21 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Posted April 21, 2011 would it be cheaper to get a new regulator or do you think the generator has something to do with it also?
BLT Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 quote:Originally posted by Burntime What does that mean to match up Bob? To make sure the generator performs to the max, the regulator should be mated to it by adjustment. Same with buying new regulator, it should be paired up with existing generator for best performance.
jasper Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Bob is spot on with his advise. The Voltage regulator needs to be set to the generator it will be used with. It could work with a new one and you could win the lottery, you just have to play. It was explained to me as the regulator listens to the frequency of the generator and each generator has a little different frequency. Bob
