TYPICAL WIRING DIAGRAM - BF SPEC B AND NH SPEC J LMC 34 OPERATION DESCRIPTION FOR BFA, BGA, AND NH (SPEC K-p) MC This operation description applies to BFA, BGA, and NH (Spec K-P) series generator sets. The wiring diagrams are included as examples to help trace or Isolate problems. However, always refer to the wiring diagram that corresponds to the model and spec number of the generator set when troubleshooting. Starting When switch 51 is closed to START (Figure 38), battery ground is connected through switch S1 to the start solenoid K1 and the crank ignition relay K2. Start solenoid relay K1 closes its normally open K1 contacts to connect battery positive to the cranking windings of the generator and to choke El. The generator acts as a motor and cranks the engine. Ignition relay K2 closes its normally open K2 contacts to connect battery positive to the ignition coil T1, and fuel pump E4. This provides the ignition spark and pumps fuel to the carburetor, Start Disconnect-Run When the engine starts, oil pressure closes switch 53 which connects battery ground to the K3 run ignition relay. Generator voltage energizes the K3 relay which has two sets of contacts, one set normally open and the other set normaly closed. The normally open set of K3 contacts close to connect battery positive to the ignition coil and fuel pump. The normally closed K3 contacts open to disconnect battery positive from the K1 start solenoid. De-energizing the K1 start solenoid opens the K1 contacts to disconnect battery positive from the cranking windings of the generator. The operator releases the start-stop switch which de-energizes the K2 crank ignition relay and opens the K2 contacts. The engine continues to run because battery positive is supplied to the fuel pump and ignition coil through the closed K3 contacts. Generator voltage is supplied to the electric choke heater E1 to open the choke. Generator voltage is also supplied through diode CR1 to charge the battery. Stopping Moving start-stop switch 51 to STOP grounds the K3 ignition relay causing it to de-energize and open the K3 contacts. Opening the K3 contacts disconnects battery positive from the ignition coil and fuel pump. When the engine stops, blocking diode CR1 prevenis battery discharge through the generator.

Does engine have correct oil level? Add oil as required, If oil level is OK, disconnect the low oil pressure switch lead wire. An insulated connector is spliced into this wire and is located within the control, After disconnecting the oil switch lead wire, ground the end that is connected to the control. Push the start-stop switch to START, Does the engine start and run? To prevent engine damage from low oil pressure, make sure the engine builds up oli pressure to 30 ps! (207 kPa) after starting. See Lubrication System section. Check low oil pressure switch operation. Switch should close when oil pressure builds up and open when oil pressure drops. Replace if necessary, Check low oil pressure lead wire for an open circuit and repair or replace as necessary. Reconnect oil pressure lead wire and push start-stop switch to START. Does engine start and run? Check wire connections between R1 resistor and K3 run ignition relay and between R1 resistor and K1 start solenoid. Check resistance of R1 resistor (see Parts Catalog for resistance value). Is R1 OK? Replace R1 resistor. Connect a jumper wire between remote connector plug terminals 5 and 6 (or TB1-5 and TB1-6 where applicable) and push start-stop switch S1 to START. (Make certain fuse F1 is not open.) Does engine start and run? Connect a voltmeter between remote connector plug terminal 6 and ground (or between TB1-6 and ground where applicable) and push start-stop switch 51 to START. Does voltmeter read 12 volts? Replace K3 run relay, Check generator brushes, commutator, DC armature, and field windings. Refer to Generator Service Procedures section. 10 11 11 ENGINE IS RUNNING - THEN STOPS | YES NO Check the set for low fuel level or low oil level and refill as necessary.
