Just started-up a 2.2kW dual-voltage genny after a few years of sitting
in the garage and there's no output. It's marked "Allam Generators" and
has had very little use, it was perfect when last used.

What could have happened are the connections between the exciter wiring and
the main field coils have corroded so its not self-energising,
they are not usually the most user friendly things to dismantle though. ;(


Thanks. Presumably it just relies on residual magnetism to get
started(?). If there aren't any "well known" failure modes I just need
to work through methodically.
