The slowdown module (RC) senses amperage usage and relays a signal to the idle control solenoid.
The (RC) is powered by a lamp coil located behind the flywheel of the engine in the same location as
the excitation lamp coil (see page 11). AC voltage is produced from the lamp coil and sent to a diode
rectifier. The diode rectifier converts the AC to DC and supplies DC voltage to the (RC) for operation.
When the idle control switch is in the on position, the (RC) is
activated and sends voltage to the idle control solenoid, causing
the solenoid to pull the engine throttle to idle speed (lower RPM).
Generator output wires pass through the center of the (RC)
before reaching the receptacles. When voltage is used from one
of the receptacles, the (RC) senses the activity and cuts the
voltage to the idle control solenoid, thus allowing the engine to
return to high speed (high RPM).
Checking the Slowdown Module (RC)
Unplug the connector and take an Ohms Ω reading (engine off)
(+) to White (-) ..............11 Ohms
Red
White (+) to Red (-)................. Infinity
Green (+ to Black (-)................ Infinity
Black (+) to Green (-)................50 Ohms
