Generator question - hippieforever3 - 09-18-2008 09:27 The other day we started the generator actually just for a test. Let it run a few minutes and shut it down. The next time a few hours later, we tried to start it and it's deader than a doornail. Nothing ... checked the fuse. Sure enough it's blown. Changed the fuse ... still can't get anything. I'm wondering if I've switched something off and forgotten. Haven't had too much time to mess with it been putting on miles. Any ideas?

It should have a single, dedicated battery if your unit is like the PT-40. My first suspection would be the battery cables for the generator battery might not be making good contact. If the battery voltage checks good then make sure both cables are clean and making good contact at both ends. After the battery/cables check out, then check the start switch and starter relay. If you are not getting voltage at the starter with the start switch depressed, then trace the circuit back until you find the failure. Good hunting and let us know what you find.
