Trailblazer 325 questions and need feedback

[MAC702]

I know this is an old thread but maybe some one will still see it. I know that the lincoln 305 had over fueling issue does the miller 325 share this issue or will I be ok with the self shut off at the pump?...

This is a specific question that needs its own thread with the specific issue in the subject line.

This sounds like a fuel filler neck orientation issue, combined with the particular fuel pumps being used. Some may not have a functioning auto-off if your fuel filler neck is vertical. You'll learn soon enough where to get fuel if you can't do it manually.

What about the 325 Diesel, anyone try one. I know the ranger 305 were troublesome.

Fine Control

But BJ is right fine control does adjust the aux on a R8. I rarely see one, so going off my brain doesn't help sometimes.

Yep, That's what it was cruiser, I put the fine control up to 10.
Now my vac. output is running at 124vac. !

In the Spring I'll take the cover off & clean the slip rings.

Yep, you don't see a lot of them around any more. I bought it three yrs. ago ( it's a 1995 ) with only 55 hrs. on it . The guy had it sitting in a cargo container as a backup generator.

Thanks guys;

Remove your covers to get access to the 2 sliprings. If they are really black or any colour but kinda brassy, then spray them down with brake clean and with a fine Emory also soaked in brake clean, start the engine up and with the Emory swish back and forth till the rings are a bright brass

Thanks Cruizer;

I'll do that in the morning !

On a Ranger 8 voltage changes with the fine output setting

Won't affect much though the likes of a 305 g is running 118 - 125 vac at 62.5 hz, yours could also be a dirty slip ring issue

Thanks Cruizer;
What's the best way to correct that ?

120 volts ?

Sorry, My Bad .

I mean Hz. has been reset to the correct frequency - 62.5 Hz....... Lol .
The above post has been corrected !

Norm

One thing I noticed since adjusting the Hz. to 62.5 , is that I just checked the AC. output and now it's just putting out 108 volts @ the receptacles Not 120 volts .

Any concern for worry, will 108 volts cause problems running my tools ?

Norm

Hz !!!!!!!!!!

with a frequency meter like this one:

http://www.menards.com/main/electrical/rough-electrical/wiring-accessories/testers/kill-a-watt-electricity-usage-monitor/p-1522714-c-6452.htm

one of buttons is hz..so just plug into outlet and press the hz button I run one on my generators now to make sure its right

Well I ordered the KILL A WATT monitor & come to find my Lincoln Ranger has been running at 70.5 Kw. not 62.5 Kw. for the last 3 years !

Well I corrected it today , it's now at 62.5 Kw. , so I'll have to see if I find any difference in performance. It's for sure a lower RPM. now !

Also at idle it's now at 38 Kw. , well time will tell, I guess .

Norm

kW is a measurement of energy, not frequency. You probably are reading in hz.
