I received this generator in a PIF from usrifle. He said that it doesn't produce electricity, but if anyone wanted to try their hand at fixing it, he was giving it away. And I won.
The good news:
- It starts up and runs just fine.
- It's a great size, easy to carry and transport, and would be perfect for many applications. (Probably not going to power your house with it, though.)
The bad news:
- As already stated, even though the motor runs, it does not produce any electricity.
- After doing some limited testing (pulled a few parts off, tested a few connections), my belief is that the inverter is bad. The price of a new inverter is $650-ish.
I don't know much about these. Maybe it's of use to someone . . . but it's no longer of use to me, and if nobody wants it then it will be in a future dump run.
I'm located in Renton, but I'd be happy to bring it to our New Years shoot tomorrow.
Anyone want it?
