Can't get Generator to run A/C

[George Lowry]

Julia,

In that era, I believe they were using the Todd Relays which were
notorious for failing. (Which is one of the reasons they are out of
business today) I would check that it is functioning. However if the
blower is not running, I believe it is more a sign that the alternator
is not putting out at all. Have read of several people having that
problem lately. I would call Power Tech in FL and see what they can do.
