Try it on house current to see if you have a genny problem.

 

Any other ideas I could try?

Lots of them but did you try it on the house?

This just made me :cf:

hook them up to a outlet at your home and if this stops the flickering then you may need to adjust your idle screw and/or govenor.

 

Ok guys I hooked it up to home service and it worked fine. Then hooked it to my genny and the 2 new lights with caps started flickering again?????? Im starting to get pissed I have a tourny tomorrow night I think I need a miracle or genny. lol

 

It the genny.
OBG know it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put a meter on your generator and set the idle to where it reads 120 volts and see what that does.

 

Ok I got my buddys brand new genrac genny 3500 watts and hooked it up and got the same result. Then hooked it up to home service and worked fine again. He has 6 lights just like mine and he went home and hooked 2 of them up to his genny and they never flickered. I am so confused????

 

try turnning the idle screw up to see if it helps

 

Set it to 120v with a load on it.It only takes about a minute to adjust if you got a volt meter.

 

Try by passing the capacitors, and my question is, how long did you allow them to flicker before you give up on them. If you only let them run for a couple minutes let them run longer.

 

It ain't the caps--it's the genny.

Nothing confusing at all. If they work correctly on house current but flicker on the genny that should point you to one conclusion. GENNY His 2 lights is not the same load as your 6 lights.
