Plug, fuel filter, oil etc...I stuck it back in the back of the mini van and I going to take it to the dealer Monday. I checked everything I can think of, Stator/field ohms out (@35) perfect, brushes/rotor are 21 ohms. I have cleaned and tightened grounds and checked pins till I have had enough of it. I even stuck the old controller board back into be sure .. Same 32 code... I'll let you know what they find out.....

Rich,
Took this to 2 different dealers. Both said the Stator was shot and wanted 1300 by one dealer and 2000 by the other. Cummins Bridgeway in Columbus sold us a complete new one for 2550. I guess I have a bunch of spare parts. This one is a model 4.0KY-FA 26100K. It looks identical to me but I'm sure some things are not interchangeable. Thanks for your help getting us through the generator blues.

Jeff thats a real good price for a new one....

I think we discussed it possibly being the stator.....

I have replaced them and it's always a repair that has to be weighed out.....

How old is the machine.....how many hours on it.....what kind of shape is it it....how well was it taken care of......

I think you will be good for quite a while.....

I have one to work on tomorrow.....Fuel pump or fuel line issue....

Rich, not to change the subject but considering autostart for generator when coach batteries get low.

HAve you seen these and any problems. I know you only see the problems but any input would be helpful. We do some dry camping, do not like to keep generator running if I do not have too.
