This post already has a confirmed diagnosis and root cause. I’m posting it to contribute to our knowledge base. Newly acquired genset had low voltage trouble light and lack of 120v on convenience outlet. Kurt Klopp refused to let me buy a voltage regulator until we did a little troubleshooting. Ultimately it lead to pulling the bell cap off to inspect and test the diodes. It was pretty obvious at that point. The diode ring was destroyed and unfortunately it gouged the stator windings on the way. I was also surprised to discover that this generator had the bolt on diodes and not the pressed-in ones that the TM says it’s supposed to have. It made me wonder if someone put in the wring part or if the generator was a different part than the original. Kurt suggested it may be a change in how they made them.

- Sell the set and it’s trailer
- any other insights?
