My Onan Emerald 2 (BGE) cuts out when I release the start switch.
I have bypassed the oil pressure switch, and this made no difference. Also I checked the 2 resitors (5ohm and 1.5ohm) which are both OK. The only brushed I can see are right at the end of the generator, and they are both OK. I measured the resistance across both the commutators and I get approx 22ohm, so I'm assuming the windings are OK, but I get no voltage reading from these which seems strange. The brushes definately make contact, since I can measure the winding resistance even through the wiring to the brushes. Not sure if this is my problem or it is something else. Seems strange I get no voltage here though.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Darren
