onan Micro Quiet Generator
Hello looking for some help. Our generator will start and run with the circut breaker on the generator off. If the circuit breaker is turned on it will stop running or will not start at all. Any help ...

Thank you so much I will check that out. The Ats switch is pretty easy to get out I think. I will check that out when I get home. What should the voltage be at the circuit breaker on the generator.
It should be roughly 120 VAC. The gen breakers on all the gens I've worked on are in the output hot lead from the gen. Put one meter tip on the lead carrying power to the breaker, and one on the neutral lead and you should see full 120 VAC.
Please be extremely careful if you do this. The generator will be live and running. If you can't get to it safely, or you aren't comfortable with this test, you'd be better off just checking out the ATS (with the shore power lead unplugged.)
