I might buy a spare and that is the cheapest I can find. Quote Selected
Re: No generator Reply #156 – January 23, 2021, 04:37:03 pm Finally got the ES52 delivered to me, here in Mazatlan, MexicoReplaced it as Jeff instructed me...." just plug and play"When I tried to start it from outside, I just heard the familiar " ticking" of the fuel pumpWent inside and pressed my manual button....Fired right up and ran for about three minutesThe bottom "timer" light was on while it was running....Then it stopped running , timer light went out and red " overcrank" came onNeedless to say , I am dismayed. Any help , at this juncture, will be well received.Just a technicality.....after reading all the previous posts, I did NOT order the ES52 from Jeff.....it was twice the price. I say this because I wanted to, especially for all his help, but .......twice the price.So I am remiss to call him again, but will, if necessary.Thanks Quote Selected

Not going to solve the connector problem but needs to be matched to work when connected.Do you have any of these connectors in you spares? Looks like the 2 wires could be cut from the old plug and attached to the controller. You just need to find out which one goes where.https://www.lowes.com/pd/Utilitech-16-Count-Disconnects-Wire-Connectors/999953182?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-elc-_-google-_-lia-_-106-_-electricalaccessories-_-999953182-_-0&placeholder=null&ds_rl=1286981&ds_a_cid=112741100&gclid=CjwKCAiAr6-ABhAfEiwADO4sfbwtdND9n6c_- Quote Selected
Re: No generator Reply #159 – January 23, 2021, 10:00:51 pm I looked for the dip switches but could not locate themWhere are they?I looked in the paperwork that came with the unit and Powertech manualProbably right under my nose Quote Selected
Re: No generator Reply #160 – January 23, 2021, 10:32:34 pm I just reviewed the previous posts regarding setting the dip switchesThere are non on the original unit I replaced, and none on the new unitWhat do I do now?Jeff said " plug and play" Quote Selected
Re: No generator Reply #161 – January 23, 2021, 11:44:30 pm Manual states 9 dip switches and references the difference for plug questioned above. Quote Selected
Re: No generator Reply #162 – January 24, 2021, 12:10:22 am This is the back if the unit I replacedIt is the originalI see NO dip switchesIt is the same as the new one I installed, except for the connection mentioned above Quote Selected
Re: No generator Reply #163 – January 24, 2021, 12:31:23 am They must have changed between my '99 and yours. At least you don't have to contend with them you have the default settings. Quote Selected
Re: No generator Reply #164 – January 24, 2021, 09:01:26 am Your new one is preset internally according to the sticker. The only adjustment you can make is the time for the preheat either 8 or 16 seconds. 8 seconds should be adequate unless you're mostly in cold areas. Then you would cut that loop of wire at the bottom right (?). As for the speed sensor it is not polarity sensitive so if you can find or make connectors you just hook up the 2 wires. It won't continue to run if this is not connected. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: No generator Reply #166 – January 24, 2021, 10:48:51 am If you can't find the correct connector for the speed sensor see if a butt connector will fit. It is just a friction fit so you may need to tighten it up a bit. Quote Selected

Did you have to mess with any of the dip switches or Potentiometers? After reading through the manual, it looks like all the default settings should work without tweaking anything. Thank you.
