Generator question

[Glenn Allen]

Check the generator battery voltage with a meter. 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.
