matty Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBNeal Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merle Coggins Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Have you measured the voltage and amperage output? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What looks good to you may indicate an issue to someone else. High amperage output without reason could be the cause of your heat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
