If you need ,look me up or call me Joe. I repaired a 3 year old 4000 we bought new that Onan said was unrepairable. It was only a few months out of warranty . We bought another NEW one. When we picked up the new one, the old one was dis-assembled from Onans appraisal. I looked it over and thought I would take a crack at fixing it. After wearing down the brushes, the brush holder had gotten caught and twisted somewhat. In the process it bugered up the supply wires . I put some shrink wrap over the bad wire, installed a new brush and holder assembly and fired it up on the table. It seems to output just fine.
