<div>Hi Dave,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Try the oil pressure wire, it probably is live when running but I have seen some shut down systems that go to ground to stop, might not work there. <br></div>
<div>Don't give up on them yet, I expect that I know who that was at tech and he still has some learning to do.</div>
<div>He once told me that he would not trust the voltage and amp readings off an e meter / link 10 because he had never heard of it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Tony is real good. Next time you get the other fellow ask for Tony or call back.</div>
<div>There is a wide selection of different start systems out there and it can be real hard to get the right plans. Sometimes I think they do in intentionally.... (the set manufacturers)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Later,</div>
<div>Bob</div>

We called Magnum from the site only to be told that all of the information we needed was on line. The man was still un-helpful when we told him that we were on a remote installation with no internet access. Now I'm back at the shop and on the web. On the Magnum web site I see a hook-up diagram for their AGS with a Kohler RMY series generator. Nothing for a RES series.</span></font></div>
