Today, after ignoring the genset for a week and a half, I checked the resistance one more time (just 'cause) and it was 24.5 ohms and the genset started and ran fine. I ran it for 4 hours with 2 ACs cycling (85 degrees) plus hot water heater, refrigerator, toaster, battery charger and the washing machine with no problems noted. So, do I have a "flying short?" Did it get wet and dry out? Did my fairy god-mother decide I'd been a good boy? BSOM.
