Congrats on getting the issue fixed. I love to hear when someone finally fixes a problem with these generators, and hopefully learns something in the process.

I can't tell you right off hand what the readings should be for that reactor. I have one at home I could check for you, but it won't be for a few days...my schedule it too tight currently to be able to get to it. BUT, since it is basically nothing more than coils around an iron core, I would...

The secondary sides of the CVT is exactly where I thought you might find issues. I would say that needs replaced because once you let go of the start switch the AC voltage from the CVT is rectified through the bridge board, and is controlled with the VR to keep the field excited. The linear...

Like Keith said, you've got some bad diodes as well. You could possibly have a bad CT/CVT assembly as well, go through the TM and check the resistance readings against the specs in the TM. I think you might find some really funky readings.

I'll look into the TM's a little deeper when I get some time later tonight at work. For the time being, are you sure that the resistor is the only bad thing on the bridge board. Maybe you have a shorted diode as well.

There is your problem...you are getting WAY too much voltage from the DC regulator. It is bad!! Replace or remove that and see if your problem doesn't go away
