Why Is My Generator Not Producing Power

[Appel]

Why is my generator not producing power? My Hyundai 2000 watt gasoline generator starts, but it won't produce any power. It sat for several years, so I'm glad it even started. I just need to know what to do to get it working again.

Take a voltmeter to the applicable parts. Sounds like you have a short somewhere that is disabling the electrical components.

Did rain or moisture get into it at any time it was just sitting around?

Could be armature dirty/rusty needs good cleaning.

Go on internet to below line and follow instructions. It works. Could also use a grinder, Spin the grinding disk along a pice of wood while plugged into your running generator.

There are several versions of this on Youtube, just search " generator runs, but no ac output".
