Fired up my generator this afternoon
Motor ran fine, but no electrical power output,
Had to excite the generator
While engine was running, I plugged in a 110 volt electric drill, held the trigger in,
Then I rotated the drill chuck, apparently this action sends a spark back to the generator,
Then the drill starts turning as the generator starts producing power,
I have had to do this a few times over the years when the generator had not been run in a while,
If any of you have a generator that does not produce power, you might try this redneck fix, sometimes it will work,
