Hello,
I'm still learning this forum while my brain is still trying to figure out my generator problem,So hope I'm posting this properly..I had found generator Jim on an older question is why Im in here he seemed to know this thing pretty well..but any help Im sure would be fine with me..
Anyway I have this thing starting but dying which seems typical for these..Although this one did have mice or rats in it and chewed the fuel solenoid wire..I fixed that and have cleaned the carb because the plunger was also hanging up..it clicks well now, Anyway One question is with me having a volt meter and splicing into the solenoid wire when I start it I see voltage over 12V of course you know I only see this when it runs for it 10 or 20 seconds..runs longer when I hold switch down..so Is this voltage coming from the regulator or battery when it gets to running?..Trying to figure out where its loosing spark or whats causing it..?.So is my regulator ok since the solenoid gets volts when running? I am going to try the volts to the 2 wires to regulator see if it will stay running..So will stand by and await an answer also..
Thank anyone!
Bruce.
