[Milsurplus] PP-4763 and Starting current

A question for the group:

I'd like to use the PP-4763 to run a 24V TCS Motor-generator set.  The
set has two 24V 1/3 horsepower motors rated together at 17A FLC.  The
stock PS won't start even one motor.

Has anyone had any luck disabling the current limiter (crowbar)
circuit in the  power supply?

Adding two tractor batteries in series across the power supply gave me
enough capacity to start the receiver motor, but when I flip the
switch for the transmitter, the PS current limiter still trips and
shuts the whole thing down.

I realize that LRC could easily be ten times the 17A listed for the
two motors, but it seems that any large dynamotor (such as the HV dyno
in the T-195) would have similar characteristics.

Anyone had similar problems?

Thanks,
Robert
