170VAC coming from my Onan generator
It's a 1995 4000 BGE. I posted earlier but wanted to focus in on this problem. I tested the lead coming into the breaker switch and it was a consistent 170 VAC. What should I check next and h...

Voltage Regula ti ng Transformer
The voltage regulating transformer helps to provide
stable generator output voltage under varying load
conditions. Voltage transformers are constructed
with two primary windings and a single secondary
winding. Each primarywinding (Hl-H2and H3-H4) is
connected in series with one of the generator AC
output windings. The transformer secondary winding
is connected in series with the field current circuit.
Taps on the secondary allow for field current
adjustments.
The voltage regulating transformer mounts on the outside of the generator housing and is enclosed with a
special cover. The cover must be in place during operation for transformer cooling.
