Here's the data plate Billy. I seen a lot of these gens in fire dept's and sheriff offices over the years. I think they were from Civil Defense.
Kind of hard to read in the photo. The model is 15.0JC-3CR/AA and the serial is 0874830435. I have a manual for it somewhere. But since you know these machines, is the AC output controlled by the DC voltage? Reason I ask the battery was almost dead and wouldn't spin it over. So I jumped it off the car. As soon as it started I took the jumper cables off and plugged in a trouble light to make sure it was making power. The battery amp gauge was almost pegged and wavering. The trouble light was wavering too, matching the change in the amp gauge. So I hooked the jumper cables back up and the amp gauge dropped below 5 amps. Because the car was still running and the battery in the car is good. As soon as that happened the wavering stopped in both the gauge and the light. Once it had the gen battery charged up I unhooked the car again and this time no problems. So, I think the idea here is this gen needs a good battery to start and run properly. Your thoughts?
