Benthejockey Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 I've got a generator in the garage. I very rarely use it although its handy when it comes to pressure washing the cars or jet washing stables where there's no electric. Came to use it the other day and its not kicking out any juice. Not even flicking the gauge to show its making any power. Worse still is I filled it up with fresh petrol before I started trying to use it!!! From what 8 can glean off tinterwebs its likely lost its magnetism because its not been being used. So my question is how hard is it to remagnetise a generator?

bluesj Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Have you tested the voltage with a meter? If it is putting out a few volts, it could be the regulator that is at fault. Have a search on youtube a few videos that might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
