matty Posted July 17, 2018 Report Posted July 17, 2018 Hi, I just got a 53 pilot house and got the generator rebuilt and a new voltage regulator put in. They both get really, really hot. What can I do? Thanks, Matt new guy Quote
JBNeal Posted July 17, 2018 Report Posted July 17, 2018 How's them wires lookin' in between? If they have original cloth insulation, the copper conductors are probably oxidized causing sky high impedance... Quote
matty Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Posted July 17, 2018 thanks for the quick response. all the wiring is new. i'm at a loss. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted July 17, 2018 Report Posted July 17, 2018 Have you measured the voltage and amperage output? 1 Quote
