PROBABLE CAUSE
B. Defective or incor-
rectly wired high
temperature switch
(S 49, located on the
engine block on the
right side).
A. Lamp defective
B. Indicating light body
poorly grounded
A. 12-V DC power not
reaching governor
controller due to
defective operating
mode switch (15, Fig. 1)
B. Governor linkage
binding or governor
throttle sticking
C. Defective or mis-
adjusted magnetic
pickup (2, Fig. 4,
2-3).
TEST, CHECK, AND/OR
REMEDY
B. Check wiring to high temper-
ature switch. One Red-Yellow wire
should be connected to the C ter-
minal. With wires removed, check
resistance between terminals C and
N.C. A resistance reading of zero
indicates a good temperature
switch. A readable resistance
indicates a defective switch.
Replace switch if defective.
A. Replace lamp.
B. Be sure light is grounded
properly.
A. Apply 12-V DC directly to
terminal 1 on governor controller's
terminal strip. If engine comes-up
to speed, check following:
B. Check governor linkage and
throttle shaft for binding
and sticking. Repair as required.
C. The controller may not be
receiving a signal from the mag-
netic pickup and the "fail-safe"
feature of the controller may be
functioning to prevent any signal
from reaching the actuator. To
check the magnetic pickup, refer
to connection and schematic diagram
in Chapter 6 and disconnect pickup
input leads controler's terminal
strip. Connect a high impedance
AC voltmeter to the pickup output
leads. Crank engine but don't
start. Voltage reading should be
a minimum of one (1) volt. If no
or low voltage is indicated, check
pickup adjustment as per Section 2-3,
Para. 4, E, (3) for ungrounded
magnetic pickup or Para. 4, F, (3)
for grounded magnetic pickup. If
magnetic pickup is properly adjusted
and voltage is still zero, replace
pickup.
