Thanks for the correction Walt!
You are, without a doubt, a real wealth of knowledge! No joke.

However, the local oil company where I've always bought my oil went out of business.
Through another local company I can get the multi viscosity Phillips 20w50,
but not sure about using it in a round motor, especially in the hot environment
of the SE US. What say you? JB

[quote="crobin(at)skyvantage.com"]I currently own a Wilga. (wilgabeast.com (http://wilgabeast.com))
If you have any specific questions not answered here, let me know! 801.599.7715
I love my Wilga!
Cory.
We are assembling a wilga that we inported from Poland a couple months ago. Have
one nagging problem with generator not coming on line. Changed voltage regualtors,
no change. Ohmed wires, OK. Schematic doesnt show a small black box that
looks like interconnected with generator switch? Any advice for troubleshooting
further would be appreciated. YakRon

Great to see some comments and interest in the Wilga! We are finishing assembling
a wilga we imported from Poland and all going well, except for the generator
which will not come on line. R&R voltage regulators, no change, ohmed check
wiring OK..Ran it at different RPM's no change. Schematic doesn't show a small
black box that seems to be interconnected to system, but not sure what it does?
Any advice or troubleshooting tips, from some of you wilga experts would
be appreciated. Yak Ron
