A couple of years ago my 5 kw Northernlights genset wouldn't start, read the post here.
https://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s4/northern-lights-m643-5kw-trouble-shooting-57340.html
This week my genset again failed to start. I googled up my genset model with the word troubleshoot and surprise, my post on trawler forum was one of the google answers. I read the post. Reread my manual, watched the videos and I soon found a faulty start relay.
In the start problem I had 2 years ago I received a whole bunch of suggestions, videos and schematics. Unfortunately none of the suggestions solved the problem. But because of that post my trouble shooting was so much easier this time around. Not only that, but the one suggestion, that I go to NAPA to buy the relay was a bonus suggestion that I used to order the part and I will have 2 by tomorrow. One to replace the part and one for a spare.
