Hey guys, I didn't know where to post this but I wanted to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge here. A lot of saws getting some use here after Irene. I've seen tree services with area codes that I couldn't even guess from where. We lost power for 5 days and would like to get this generator ready in case we need it again.
Anyways, the problem. I have an older honda powered 4500 watt generator ( Dyna LC 4500). Runs great, was putting out some power the first 2 days after the storm. (dim lamp and refridgerator light) Then one morning I started it and no power. I have found some resistance readings on the net and comparing them to the generator. One power lead to nuetral is reading 1.1 where it should be 0.61-0.67 . The other lead to nuetral is good as well as the resistance for the capacitor leads.
Any ideas? I have heard of flashing the generator to restore power but have no idea if this would help me. Thanks for any help. -Shawn
