So my generator had packed up. Engines fine but no output. Got a new AVR as that was obviously blown but that did not fix the generator. All the continuity tests and outputs seemed to be as should be. Just no proper output. I had read somewhere you could re-energise a generator with a drill. Something about the residual magnetism being lost. The output generated by spinning the power tool being enough to create the initial field in order fire the power output up again. So I thought I would give it a go. Angle grinder seemed easier as I could spin it along the ground. Worked a treat.
Just be careful if you try it as the moment the generator starts output, the power tool will be powered.
