Oh my God, it is just the way you described it.......I will never do it
again, not starting it every week or so. It has been a while since I have
started it, except for today. First pull, it started right away, but no
juice. I have the owners manual, but it does not mention what you described
as jumping the head. If there is a manual to get that tells me how to do it,
like a shop manual, please get it for me, I can send you money in advance
for any cost and naturally shipping etc. I am so excited, because my gut
tells me you are right on..........Peter

Was it let sit and not run for 6 months then likely the gen has lost
residual magnetism and Flashing the field is necessary, if you are handy
and comfortable jumping the gen head with the motor running I can look
for the manual, otherwise get a pro to do it.
