Hi all,
Just to be different, as I have read alot about how to get a genny started, as non starting seems to be a problem...Ive got the opposite.
My genny wont stop once started...not even the stop start switch on the genny itself stopos it.
After a few hours of annoying the neighbours I did discover that if I disconnected the leisure battery the genny stopped.
The whole story is that it always starts...now that I realise you have to have enough in the battery to crank it....and if the panel inside shows the hours its totally run..8 in this case, and the output amps..5.5 i think then it will stop....but if there is nothing in that panel then it wont.
????
Im in a mind to install a heavy duty emergeny on off switch to the battery. Unless anyone can help with a better solution.
I have seen a battery isolation switch mentioned in all the bumf paperwork..they just dont tell you where it is.
For starting the genny my plan is to carry a smaller fully charged battery disconnected that I can jump to engine or leisure battery so I dont get stuck....Overkill?? or do others do this.
My spare cost me ÂŁ10 quid from the scrap yard..he let me keep charging likely good batteries up to see if they held charge so this is a decent spare.
