Look, you go and invest in an RV or buy a Trace Engineering inverter outright and then you find you aren't going to get any service without getting ripped off. Would you be happy?
I ended up with a Trace 4024MC in a bus I bought. Great device when you read the specs and all this American made machine can do. So they stopped making it, that is what they did. And now you will get ripped off when you go to get service. That's the American way now. Cut the biggest piece, not make the pie bigger.
I said "No, I think I'll just take it home," and I did. Then it occurred to me to take the circuit board out which I did, and I hauled it down to this guy I know and showed it to him. "Oh, that won't take much, I'll call you." And he did. He said he found the chip, that he would have it all repaired in a couple days and it would cost me $65. No shit. You see any part of that mother board, any part of that inverter, you can get the parts for if you have an electronics guy, and just fix it unless your board is fried by lightning to toast or something. So he repaired the damaged trace, replaced the chip, I put it all back together and hefted it up on the bulkhead and everything ran like clockwork.
You have trouble with your Trace Engineering Inverter, call me, anytime, Oregon 971-388-7185. The time now is Feb. 9, 2011. If the phone doesn't ring through leave a message, probably means I am in China or in the shower. Flip a coin. Don't get screwed, get it fixed.
Ok, so you invested $3500 or so in your machine not counting in and out time and the service that you get is to be told that you can only get help if you agree to be ripped off. Yeah great.

This Is One We Use At GetOffTheGrid.com For Over 4 Years And It Has Worked Perfect.
Premium Power, Premium Efficiency , Premium Inverter
The SW4024 SineWave and Have Never Had A Glitch.
Problem: Some inverters simply cannot supply power clean enough for equipment like clocks, timers, laser printers, photocopiers, bread makers and pellet stoves. And modified sine wave inverters sometimes cause "noise" on radios or tv sets.
Solution: The Trace SW-series, the world's best and most advanced inverter.
- New design makes it easy to use. With separate use and setup menus, new backlit display, improved wiring access and greater generator compatibility.
- Advanced engineering boosts efficiency . The SW is over 90% efficient through most of its load range, peaking at 96% efficiency. There's negligible idle current.
- Smart features make it more reliable. New soft start system allows inverter to run heavier loads with improved reliability.
- Intelligence eliminates guesswork. Brainy Trace SW inverters can be programmed to perform a multitude of tasks like automatic generator start and stop, automatic load sensing, and generator support.
- Protective circuitry guards against downtime. Including over-current, short circuit, over temperature, low battery and high battery conditions.
- Feed-back ability makes you a power broker. When connected to a renewable energy system, The SW can feed excess energy back to the utility grid.
- Charger keeps your batteries happy. All Trace SW inverters include a built-in, fully automatic, three-stage battery charger. It's designed for maximum charging while using minimum generator time and fuel.

Outputs match any need. The SW comes in 2.5 kw /12 volt output to 5.5 kw/48 volt models. Most popular models: 4 kw, 24 and 48 volt inverters.
Stacking offers power to spare. Stack the SW in series for 120/240 VAC output and increased total capacity. With a surge rating 2.5 times greater than their continuous power rating, there is almost nothing that will not start and run on one (or two) of these inverters. (Export models are not stackable, including 230 VAC 50 Hz, 105 VAC 50 Hz 105 VAC 60 Hz.)

Onan Overspeed/Start Disconnect Module 0300-4324
This module is mounted on the bell cover, it reads the RPM of the generator shaft and will disconnect the starter at about 660 RPM and if the generator goes overspeed it will shutdown around 2190RPM (or for 50HZ operation 1830RPM).
We have reproduced these and they are for sale brand new. These aren't pulls or repairs they were built in 2017 by J.R. Electronics on brand new printed circuit boards. The OEM boards failed because of a part that deteriorates with age and heat so beware of buying a pull, it may be on it's last leg. We give one full year warranty on these boards.
We are also willing to repair your unit or to swap a new unit for an inop unit to speed your repair cycle. Call us.
