I'd be chkin for critters in the attic...

If you've changed the brushes already then change the AVR also. Change the AVR ($20).Plenty of pics/vids on Youtube. Very simple.

Yes the setup ran fine. I've had the 5000 20amp generator & transfer switch for 12yrs. Just have a chance to upgrade to a better/bigger generator but I don't want to have to switch out the 12/3 or GenTran if I don't have to.

I had a 5000 watt hooked-up to this already. It had a 20amp 240 plug - L14-20. I want to upgrade the generator to a 5600 watt but it has a l14-30 amp plug. That's my concern. Just running a 240 well pump, 120-furnace, sump, freezer, refrigerator filling out the 6 circuits on the transfer...

I have a Gentran transfer switch (20amp) between the generator & house panel box.

The biggest draw on my trans switch is my well pump - 240-20amp. Everything else is 120v. thx

Thx for the reply. Another question then, does the transfer switch need upgraded also? Thx

Hello, 1st time post. Great forum! I apologize if this has been discussed before. I have a 20amp transfer switch with 12/3 wire running to it. I want to purchase a 30amp - 5600/8600 generator. Will the 12/3 carry this load without any issues or do I need to upgrade to 10/3? Thanks
