Recheck the wiring. Also consider there is always the possibility that the schematic for the wiring I gave you might be different for your particular generator - meaning colors of wires we identified might have changed. Be sure you have completely broken the series point connection so 220 volts is not present.
Bottom line is to separate the two series windings and then parallel them with the same phase relationship. Putting them in parallel with opposite phase relationship will produce zero to 56 volts depending on AVR style used in generator.
The rewire has worked for all I have helped, provided the correct wires are cut/moved and the paralled windings have the same phase relationship (not 180 degrees out of phase). Don't let this "phase" lingo confuse you, no matter what you do you will still have a single phase genny.
How will I know if they're 180 degrees out of phase?
