That was a different definition of "wrong", but you knew that.

Seriously, I respect Dave's opinion as much (if not more) than anyone elses I know, but there was an "if" in his diagnosis. The "if" didn't apply in this case, again, in my opinion having started that generator every day for almost two weeks. It's obvious (even to me) that too much current through a fuse makes it do its job. That being said, who knows if this is an original fuse that's now 27 years old?

I'm guessing nothing works forever, and replacing that fuse "might" do the trick. Then again, the fuse may not even be the issue. It was just something quick and easy that could have had him up and generating in a few minutes... if it weren't in such a gawd awful location.

I'll let you guys know when he figures out what the problem is. Maybe he'll even come on here an tell us himself.
