do you meant the engine runs and the gen instrument panel lights come on but you don't get no power outta the outlets , this is because the "dash lights" are run by engine belt drive alternator on older gen sets if it's a 73 im a bettin it's in need of set of brushes on armature and that needs cleaned up as well cus im sure it's black with carbon dust (should be gold in color), there should be a little door you remove on side of gen head that lets you see armature and brushes
The capacitor has no bearing as you have output on one leg. Take or have an electrician check the power from L1 to N and L2 to N right as it comes off the generator stator, before any breakers and receptacles. If you have no power still on one leg, the stator is bad. The rotor is fine as you indicate you have power on one leg, you may have lost one set of windings in sthe stator. Good Luck
Being female is no disadvantage as our logic to think and work is most important.
Now you have not mentioned the load on the gen-set, please check the voltage on the outlet with load and without load. Secondly if this is a fuel driven gen-set the RPM of the engine can be lowered using the idling throttle screw on the small carburettor. This will eventually bring the voltage and load down to the lower level but in the first place what is your requirement? what is the fault seen if the gen-set is outputting a fraction more? please shed some light on this?
Hello, I am not familiar with fuses on this model. It has circuit breakers that are on the main electrical outlet panel. These generally are press to reset. If you are experiencing the circuit breakers "tripping" on you, then your load is too great for that circuit. You might have to split loads between all the receptacles. If you are wanting to remove the circuit breakers, in order to keep the circuit supplying power because of the nuisance factor of resetting, then I would advise against it. You might burn out the generator part and this can lead to a very costly failure.
Low oil doesn't usually make engines cut out. Clean the air filter, change the plug and wire. If this doesn't help then I think you're looking at a carb. problem. Probably just clogged jets & ports. It's very common on small engine carbs. It shouldn't take more than 2 quarts of oil. Probably not even one.
with the gen engine running,
1) plug a 3/8 drill into an outlet,
(make sure the drill is set to the forward rotation)
2) hold the trigger in the run position
3) by hand, rotate the drill chuck with a quick flip of your wrist.
*** NOTE: BE PREPARED !!! this will excite the gen-set and the drill will start to run as normal.
Your voltage regulator is at fault. Make sure you replace it with the exact same brand name and serial number or you will burn out the generator.Thank you, Dana
you cannot just pry it off...this model has a tapered shaft...
first remove the plastic cover underneath...then disconnect the wires and set the cover aside..loosen the center bolt that clamps the rotor to the crankshaft (loosen but dont remove...just thread it out approximately 3/16-1/4 inch) and use an automotive alternator/power steering pressed on pulley removal/installer tool to put pressure on the bolt and pop the taper loose..the ridge on the rotor is the right size for this type of puller tool....you may need to put the puller really tight and tap the end of it to break tension...you''l hear a "pop" when the taper lets go and then its simply a matter of removing the tool and unthreading the bolt ....set the rotor aside and then there is just three bolts to remove the engine.
butterfly shaft on engine siezed causing irregular high idle. high idle causes over powering surge from stator/rectifier assy. idle sppeds must be within gen specs for accurate output levels.
