I have a 5000 watt Honda generator. The motor starts and runs well. When I turn on the switch for power, bad things start to happen . There is a growling noise and magic smoke comes out of the generator. I suspect the armature is shorting.
I took the end off the generator, the brushes are ok, the modual appears ok , but no way to test it. There has definitely been heating and possible damage to the windings.
I haven't checked with a Honda dealer for replacement of the generator, but suspect the cost would be out of line.. The generator itself, is I believe from china.
Has anyone had experience replacing the generator, or an aftermarket source. Thanks old243
