I assume you were looking at the diagram below? They must pick up the ground for the tach from the circuit board. It shows the other wires. You need to make sure you use the circuit board if you are going to use the factory gauges, so you will also be utilizing the gauge voltage regulator. You need to pick up that resistance wire also.
Yes thats the plan. Currently working on unlooming the wires so the stock plugs and wire colors will be used. Runs fantastic so on to generator head mount.
Those are uploaded to FTE. Gotta download it to watch when I tested it.
Yea I did download them but they wouldn't open. I think there's a way to embed them on the forum so they open there. Maybe I don't have the right app or something went south in the download?

Not sure how to do it differently. I captured the movies within the FTE app. Do you have Andoid or Apple product? Maybe the moderator can assist!?

Android. It's no big deal. I know what a 6.9l sounds like.
But hopefully I can figure it out before you get the generator hooked up!
I'm seeing a giant flywheel between two pillow blocks on an axle with the 7 to one pulleys next to the flywheel and on the same axle. Engage a PTO to the axle then turn on the ignition, hit the glow plugs and then give the flywheel a good hard shove! LOL...

The movie shows how smooth this is operating. Super happy so far. At least here is a current picture of the apparatus.
All the wiring is sorted out except the tachometer so Im just praying and relying on the factory wiring & color program! Things got lots less complicated once I pulled the loom wrap off and 80% of the wires do not apply.
Gages work, tested them with engine running today. Built battery trays and started the genhead mounting visualization. Take my time and do it right once so working out the details before any materials are cut to minimize SWAG later...
Got everything fabbed up and welded. Waiting on the correct pulleys and belts to come in. I had a single grove onhand that is the wrong size but was able to do a test run with it and verify the genhead is viable and mounting bracket layout.
Due to pulley sizing, I had to operate the engine at 2000 RPM... its kinda intimidating and bad@ss up close! Ran smooth as a top the whole time.
I will post pics and loadbank results once I get the correct pulley and belts installed. Today was just a test run to make sure Im on the right path and Generator head wasn’t flat... I do want to run it slower! Shooting for 1200RPM for the first loadbank test to see how much loads affect it.
I made an official pull today. I have 3KW worth of loadbank for initial tests.
Interesting data set. The engine was warmed to operating temperature and shut down to grab assistance. Engine was set at fixed throttle position 1375RPM and throttle not changed. I stepped through the load test at 1 minute intervals. I will retest to see if there was an anomaly. Staging up:
0000W load/3780RPM/125Vx2
1250W load/3695RPM/125Vx2
2500W load/3680RPM/125Vx2
2750W load/3685RPM/125Vx2
3000W load/3645RPM/125Vx2
I’m a big enough man to admit when wrong. And after doing the test it makes sense. No matter what available torque there is, the definition of steadystate (motor not changing speed) means all forces are equal. Thus any resistance change MUST have a net effect on the RPM (no matter how slight). Based on this test data alone, matthewq4b is correct about the governor.
