[QUOTE="tomsbrokeagain, post: 1413219, member: 17014"] Just had the thought. If this is one of the green suitcase type models (you have not given the model) you will find a little panel on the front. Take the two bottom screws out, remove panel/ pull down to access the back and make sure to test that the fuse holders are good (fuse will look good but be bad). If both (IIRC) fuse holders are good try swapping in some new relays (standard automotive 30-40 amp will work) and give this a try. You should be seeing two relays. Further more if your unit is of the newer suitcase design and electric start (I know most are) A combination of the fuse problem and relay can case the battery to not flash the field (this is done all at startup). If your gen set is of the open style and not like a suitcase none of this info will apply. If you could send me a pic of the unit I could walk you through these steps better as I am going off memory and it is hazy at times:redneck: FYI, almost all standby gen sets that are of the electric start variety have an automatic built in field flashing design. This is also how some of these units do better power regulation. Hope my dusty brain is not too late with some more usefull info. [/QUOTE]
