Redneck reserection

Today I received from ASAP http://www.partsfortechs.com/ a new regulator for the AC portion along with some new vibration mounts for the control panel.  I put in the mounts, grafted in the new plug for the regulator and assembled the unit.  It started right up.  Voltage from the 240 leads was only 185 volts so after tweaking the voltage pot on the regulator I brought it up to 241 volts with no load.  I let the gen set run on the trailer for 40 minutes with the circuit breakers on and the unit ran flawlessly.  Now smelling like Diesel exhaust I claim Victory!!!  Next step is to connect some kind of load center and load it up to check performance.
