Generator runs but only produces 3 volts when first cranked. Checked ohms on stator,coils and brushes looked OK as well as slip rings and rotor. Idle does not work. Flashed system and replaced voltage control. I think it is the idle control. What say u.
For model number 10k elite series generator
Hi Nat,
Thank you for your question. If your generator engine is running but is producing no or low output, the circuit breaker is the first thing you should check. The breaker is a safety feature designed to automatically switch off if a surge of electricity or overload is detected. A surge can be caused by using a device that draws more power than the breaker is rated for, using multiple ‘heavy load’ devices at the same time, or if a short occurs within the circuit. Some breakers will have colored indicators to show if they have been tripped, but some will not give any indication at all. Cycle the breaker off and on and try the outlet again. If the outlet is still not working, confirm that the breaker is set to the on position and use a multimeter to measure resistance on the lead wire connections on the inside of the electrical panel. If any resistance is read, than the breaker is good. If the meter reads ‘OL’ (overload) or Infinity, the breaker is bad and should be replaced. You should also check the alternator and the capacitor. Once you have determined the part you need, please feel free to call customer service. We are open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. We look forward to hearing from you!
