Lessee.. where were we?
In response to a recent question, yes it is an older generator that I got (at least) 2nd hand, so hours are unknown on it.
I used the thing this weekend, it ran a couple of crock pots ok. it didn't run out of gas (which I dumped some Techron in), so I didn't get a chance to try my can full of shiny new ethanol free 87 octane.
I don't have a twist lock anything to plug into the 240V side of the gen, so at the moment I've exhausted my testing options, and it's now really cold outside. So I think I'm done for a while.
It sounds like there may be an issue with the windings, but Chum Lee gave some other engine related tests to look at. Even if there is a winding issue, it's certainly not a doorstop. It's run everything I've NEEDED it to run so far, up to and including the AC on my trailer.
I have thoroughly enjoyed all the suggestions and banter so far, if I happen to try some other options, I'll report back.
Thanks to everyone!
