The output from this generator is low to non-existent. If I plug a 500 watt

sometimes, but only between probably 10rpm and 200rpm, it's very erratic -

slowly.
There doesn't seem to be much that can be done with these other than maybe
change the capacitor, but
my electrical knowledge is too lacking in such matters to even know if that
could be the problem.
Is it a lost cause?
I originally got this from Freecycle knowing the genny side was faulty, in

that I can't do anything with them, so now I have two non-working genny's




It sounds like the capacitor is faulty. Replacing the capacitor should fix
your problem. If you need spares for Powercraft Generators we have them in
stock. We are also happy to advise you on fault finding and repairing if
you need it. To purchase parts please see our website.
