    Generator keeps shutting down

    The module is located in the the dash cavity behind the steering wheel. It cuts all power to the run circuit on the generator meaning that the solenoid and lift pump don't get any power to run. Remember that our genset is controlled from the main panel in the salon. The power runs from the...

    Generator keeps shutting down

    Hi to those who have tried to sort this issue out with me. Finally resolved today and is worth posting the issus incase anyone else has the same issue. I went right through every cable to and from the gen set. Pulled out the start and pre heat switches and found the start/run switch had...

    Generator keeps shutting down

    Sorry, my mistake. The posts were on another for Ok thanks. I will be checking once again all the connection and harness later today. Also, I have put the IR over all the engine including the exhaust manifold. All good. Not forgetting that I have also bypassed the temp switch on the manifold...

    Generator keeps shutting down

    Ok, I am at the boat again today, however the question is what part does the alternator play in all this? The circuit runs through the safety switches, fuel solenoid and lift pump before ending up at the alternator and connected to the R on the back of the alternator. There is another wire...

    Generator keeps shutting down

    HI, Thanks for the reply. If you check my previous posts you will see that I have used a infrared temp gun to determine that the temps across the engine, manifolds are consistent with that showing on the temp gauge. I have also accessed the flow rate of the raw water and as a precaution replaced...

    Generator keeps shutting down

    Hi Thought so. It does have a fuel cut off solenoid. I have checked that it is free and slides freely even after it shuts down. I am back on the boat again tomorrow and will once again start working systematically through the circuit and switches. I have bypassed all switches and solenoids. I...

    Generator keeps shutting down

    Thanks for getting back to me. You are talking about oil in the engine part of the genset, not the armature???

    Generator keeps shutting down

    When its running up to the point it shuts down, I have watched the water temp, oil pressure and volts. All are good.

    Generator keeps shutting down

    I have a Westerbeke 12.5 Generator in my Sea Ray 500 1999. I keeps shutting down. I have tried everything from bypassing pressure switches, testing connections, checking oil pressure, water temp and output volts from alternator. When you start the gen set it runs perfectly for anything from 5...
