Just replaced 12.5Kvw in my 1989 WLWB, it wasn't bad to do, just like the book say, any way tryed to start an some rely has kicked in cause it will not start from any of the three generator starter switch. Motoer stared the first time I try it, but shut of real quite, Switch would not work after that first time, thats why I think I've burned out a solanald or kicked rely out. Anyone with ideal on how to get this thing running again.

If it runs while you hold the run switch in the start position, it is likely the voltage regulator on the gen head. When you start the genset the relays are activated with battery power, when you release the switch the gen head dc power now holds the relays. If all is well...

The round barrel connectors with many pins can get corroded (use deoxit), sometimes when you couple those connectors, some of the pins are pushed out of the way and end up being real iffy.
