Kawasaki generator fault
My 2300 Kawasaki generator, which I run on propane gas on the odd occasions that I use it, is electrically dead! The engine part will still run OK, but there is no life evident on the 240v or 12v output side. Last time I used it, it was fine, suggesting a simple fault/bad connection somewhere. I have lost faith in the local agent, who after faffing for three weeks, declares that it needs something called an ADI unit, at a cost of =A3240. He did however tell me something I didn't know, which is that it will also run on petrol. Can any generator experts tell me what to look for in diagnosing the fault? |

Nope, but until an expert stops by here's my two pen'oth.it's should have a whirly thing driving an alternator which will produce AC at some sort of voltage which will then be stepped up or down as required and/or rectified by some electronic gubbins. I you can't where these bits are hidden, or can't find/fix the fault, it might be worth looking at the cheap small generators which have come onto the market recently. Se previous posts here (via Google) for details. |
