The AVR automatic voltage regulator normally gets damaged by a short in the rotor, wiring etc. MOST common is shutting the generator down under load and NO NO. The AVR goes wide open to try and maintain voltage on a gen that is stopping, always disconnect loads then shut off

I find the best way to connect any equalizer is to connect via the tape monitor sockets, assuming that the AVR has one. From the equalizer in and out sockets - connect the Eq OUT to Tape IN on the AVR. And Eq IN to Tape OUT on the AVR.
Some AVR don't allow connections, due the equalizer interfering with Surround Sound systems. If you can connect switch off the equalizer when listening to Dolby or other surround formats, as it will spoil the sound.
replace the avr,Honda ec2200 generator avr,or buy a used power head, HONDA EM2200X GENERATOR POWER HEAD USED , this is a chinese genset,it will take awhile to find a new avr,therefore get the used powerhead or scrap it for an american generator.
There are at least two AVRs for this generator. The original AVR has the diodes mounted on an external heat sink. The updated AVR has the diodes mounted directly on the circuit board. I have a schematic of the original model with the external diodes but it doesn't have the values or parts on the schematic. I will be more than happy to e-mail you a copy of what I have.
Hi, a word of caution, use a 9volt battery instead of 12v to check the rotating field winding. The 12volts from a car battery or battery charger can burn out windings in a generator. I would say that your avr is pooched. There are 4 leads that go back to the windings in the generator from the AVR. Two of these are connected to the power output and two go to a separate winding in the generator. This is the exciter winding and this supplies power to the avr for the rotating field. The two to the power output are voltage reference only. If your generator has these exciter winding, you should check if you have voltage there with the 9 volts applied to the rotor. If you have voltage on the power output and not on the exciter, then the exciter is shot and your avr might not be. Try this first, if you could, could you take a picture of the windings at the back end of the generator, this will confirm for me what leads you have present.
Have you let it set for a long period? I have heard that if you do not use a generator that it will simply stop working(generator portion itself). Make sure no breakers are tripped and the wiring looks OK.
AVR burn out is the most popular problem with electricity supplyment....
replace the AVR...if it burnt out shortly after words..then u have a problem with the rpm of the engine...if not..then its just a AVR burnout..
