10kw Briggs & Stratton generator - start up and shut down, would not stay running
Turned out the brushes were bad and not sending enough voltage through the system, the system detected low voltage and shut down. It would start, run for 30 seconds and shut down 3 times. No error codes on the panel, just wouldn\'t stay running.
Because the brushes are at the bottom of this model I actually had to take off the sid
... Read moree panels, disconnect all wiring and fuel line and remove the engine. The cap needs to be removed from the alternator at the very bottom of the engine/generator assembly to get to the brushes. Once you have it out, its very easy to get them out and replace them. Unfortunately because of the design and that the generator side of the unit is sunk down into the bottom of the unit I don\'t believe there is a way to change the brushes with the engine still in the unit. Its also impossible to just remove the generator from the engine as you would need a puller to disconnect it and this can\'t be done with the engine in place.
The engine is very heavy and took 2 people to lift out from the mounts and move it. If your strong you can probably move it a short ways out of the unit and lay it down to work on it.
I had to drill out four small bolts replace voltage regulator/ brushes sand aumture. The generator was over charging so i had to replace the raglator and the brushes were worn so i replace them too
Tested AVR by jumping brushes to establish a field. This did not work. R/R AVR but still no output voltage. R/R brushes, idle control, and idle control PCB. Generator works properly.
1. Removed front cover from rotor and stator. 7mm nut driver
2. Removed brush assembly and regulator.7mm nut driver
3. Used pliers to pull wire connectors off
4. Installed new parts.
5. Our front cover back on.
6. Started generator tested power.
