Generator Failure

[Team PCBeach]

Thats the issue with the sound shields. They hide the impeding failures. Was getting water in my bilege and final traced it down to a anti-siphon valve that was leaking and running down the hoses into the gen. After removing the shield in the back and inspecting i could see the rust stains. Could have lead to more serious issues if left unchecked.

Exactly what my repair guy said. He said he hates sound shields for that exact reason, they hide too much. I think I will probably put the back piece on before install since I am not sure there is room to do it once the generator is back in the boat. I will leave the rest off until I see if the added noise is an issue or not.

When i had my gas Kohler i took the sound shield off completely just so i could see what was going on and catch leaks etc. And given they are pieces of junk IMO, i always needed access to be working on it. The increased noise wasn't really that bad for us.

How'd you get the generator out of the boat? Looks like a very tough fit.

After seeing that picture, asking the real questions!!

By-pass all of your sensors, start the generator, let it run for a few minutes then remove the by-pass jumpers one at a time. When the generator stops, you have your defective sensor.

I have a 360 7.3 also and the generator will crank but won't start. I have used the troubleshooter figure 6.4 guide and I am at p1-8 and p1-14 no continuity. It says check for open circuit but only shows k1 and k4 in that line. Is it automatically a bad board?
