7.5D Onan Question for the real Techs
My generator sat for a while and we finally started it, however, it doesn't generate when you excite. Can one use a slick stick on the stator ring? Do you have to remove the whole cover or can it be r...

For generators that had lost residual rotor magnetism I would flash the field with a 6-volt lantern battery. Figuring out which of the + - 2 wires is which, seems to be a problem with Oh-Man generators. The flashing would excite the regulator and things would resume as normal.
Start the generator before you do the above and if the field excitation wires do indeed have voltage of any kind then the slip rings are glazed.
With the salt air I have, I made sure the KATO power unit was brushless.
