voltage control,
when I started this thread I had found out that when a load was put on the generator the voltage would drop from 120v to about 107v and was hoping to find a way to regulate the voltage. after running the generator all day and testing just what it would and would not run I thought I would check all the bolts and screws to see if any were loose. all bolts were OK but I found one brass screw on the left side that would turn freely, it seems this screw is connected to a throttle arm, when turning this screw with a load you can adlust the voltage output to bring it up to 110v by slightly increasing the engine rpm. so yes there is a little voltage control, it's not automatic voltage control but it is a form of manual voltage control. if you have one of these generators and it is running just a little low on the voltage check out the brass screw on the left side of the gen and see if this works for you.
I sure wish spell check worked!
