Generator Fan Motor

[Wilhelmus Schreurs]

Paul:
Before you remove it, do you show voltage on your meters? If no voltage, then you have to start looking a different way.

It could simply be your start capacitor, which is mounted on the side

of the fan or in a J-box. You can remove it and take it to a

generator shop to check. Just be carefull that it doesn't unload on

you. Keep fingers away from the connections.
