This little 2000 watt generator is great! Extremely portable, you can easily plop it in your trunk or even in the passenger area floor since it's so small, and take it with you, and it has a 1.1 gallon tank which is supposed to last for 4 hours at rated load and something like 12 hours at 1/4 load (500 watts). WOW is it easy to start, the pull cord has very little resistance, and it's SOOOO quiet!!! Honda did an absolutely amazing job with the muffler system, I have no idea how but it's truly the quietest generator BY far that I've ever heard.

Question by CoyoteStarfish: Need help with my portable generator - no power output?
I own a Chinese made diesel generator. 10HP, 5kW, which recently stopped putting out power.
The generator "head" has three separate power outputs; 120VAC (#1) 120VAC (#2) and 12VDC for battery charging. All three ceased output simultaneously.
I've tried "re-exciting" or "flashing" the alternator, which didn't do anything other than make it "knock" when it generated a magnetic field.
I've been told my voltage regulator may have failed, but I have no knowledge of how the AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) on the high-voltage side may work to verify.
Ideas? Thanks!

Some have safety fuses or circuit breakers to safeguard Voltage spikes. Check also for a switch which enables the generator once the deisel moter has been started.
