<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>

there is no hour meter or other obvious location in the generator for 12v
power that is only on when the gen is running. 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>
