Hi Dave,
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.
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.
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.
Tony is real good. Next time you get the other fellow ask for Tony or call
back.
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)
Later,
Bob

Wrenchsters,
We have a new 3.4kW PV off grid installation that includes a Magnum
ME-AGS Auto Gen Start module, Magnum ME-RC50 Remote Control, MS4448AE inverter
and a Kohler 8.5 RES lp gas generator for automatic backup battery charging (16
L-16G's).
We have successfully used a Magnum AGS control Magnum with an older 3
wire start Onan although it took some time in finding 12 volts that is only on
when the gen is running (typically the hour meter power).
With the Kohler 8.5 RES 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.
Next time we'll go back to OutBack.
Any help that the wrench community can lend on working this situation out
would be appreciated.
