check voltage at capacitors if ok bad motor

If you are hearing humming from the motor itself, replace the capacitor. Should only cost you $10-20. To rule out a faulty thermostat perform a jump test on the control board. There's a lot of videos and tutorials online for performing a jump test. I attached one of them for your reference, however with the humming, I am inclined to believe it is a faulty capacitor.

there is a rectangle shape cover on the rear of the generator head and strike a 9volt battery across the two terminals on the back and try it again

It is possible that while the bike was laying down that oil or fuel entered the cylinder and is now causing a hydro-lock. With the spark plug out, pull the crank a lot of times. Check to see if fluid comes out of the spark plug hole. Also check to see if the plug is wet or damaged. If you can, look into the cylinder with a light.

showing no ac voltage possible compressor over heating or capacitors opening and blocking ac voltage

Try changing out the start up and run capacitors for the compressor.

You need a manual so you can check the rpm, brush gear, circuit and check the rotor is receiving enough current to produce the rated output.

Midwest USA... A working generator in good running condition should sell for around $0.05 a watt +-, so 7500x0.05= $375. Excellent condition add a penny. NOS add another penny.

A working generator in poor condition 3 cents/watt.

A generator that doesnt work, i.e. engine doesn't run or engine runs but no electrical power is $0 to $50. Repair costs of some generators cost more than a new one.

As for operational status, the typical shop vacuum makes a handy load tester. The shop vac load along with a "Kill A Watt" power monitor will provide an independent voltage and frequency analysis.

Be sure to plug the vacuum into every outlet and if any outlet doesn't work consider the unit non-working.

This may possibly help....

I had the same issue.
Take the lid assembly off and remove the metal shield over the burner controls.
This will allow you to remove the black cover that you see on the front of the grill and will give you access to the burner controls behind the knobs.

there is an almost diamond shaped metal piece with a screw in the top and one in the bottom that the know shaft runs through.. take note how it is currently positioned and then remove the screws and the piece of metal will come off.. dont lose the spring or lock washer.

you will now have access to the valve which is your issue. i sprayed some liquid wrench and i used a large common head screw driver to "beak" the valve to allow it to turn. Test it so you know which position to return the valve to and then put it all back together.

Likely the recoil start assembly is binding.

You can ask it from your supplier

Check all fuses.

Try the lamp test and make sure all panel lamps light.

Check battery voltage is 12.3VDC or greater.

Check the sears parts site with your model number and get a part number, then search with the part number for the best price....

Most towns and cities have specialist suppliers of various types, primarily supplying professionals in the area. One such specialist typically supplies engine parts and would have accumulated much experience in locating all sorts of oddball stuff from a host of suppliers - often all is needed is a pattern for them to measure. I suggest you check your local Yellow Pages or classified directory...

Roll with a fibrous roof coating. make sure it has the fibers or else it will not adhere to the cracks or metal.

Are you stating that the igniter will not work. Is the igniter failing to produce an ark? Are you stating that the burners fail to be supplied with gas. With both the bottle's valve open and the stove turned on. Make sure the propane bottle has gas first. Is the bottle heavy and do you feel liquid moving around inside like water if you move the bottle around in the air? Check the valve. You can not open the valve quickly. On these 20lb. bottles. You must turn the knob very slowly or the bottle will slug. You will need to shut the gas flow off, wait a minute for it to equalize and try it again. Open the gas flow slowly(at the bottle). Now try to light the stove. If the stove is still not lighting you can try another bottle but more than likely the regulator has gone bad and will need to be replaced.

Glad to hear it was easy :-)
Here is a link to my trouble shoot solution so that this will get marked as solved.
