    need help with starter for my 89 3 kw 24v generator

    Not a problem, Jon. The circuits must be pretty similar, except for things like the 24V versus 120V fans.

    need help with starter for my 89 3 kw 24v generator

    ETN550, thanks for your post. Jonster emailed me a schematic that I thought was correct for his generator, but I just checked, and it's for an MEP-016B, so I've been helping him based on the wrong diagram!

    need help with starter for my 89 3 kw 24v generator

    If you have 24V on both sides of CR4 and not at the fan, then the wiring must have a problem. From the schematic, if the battery is installed and charged, the fan should run until the battery runs down, even if the charging system isn't working.

    need help with starter for my 89 3 kw 24v generator

    I suppose you could, or you could measure the voltage at the motor terminals to see if 24V is getting there.

    need help with starter for my 89 3 kw 24v generator

    I think you're seeing relay contacts that resemble the symbol for a capacitor. When A2S1, the master switch, is in the run position, and A3K4, a pair of contacts of the low fuel shutdown relay, is closed, the "noise kit fan", if you have one, should run. "A3K4", for example, is a set of...

    need help with starter for my 89 3 kw 24v generator

    I'm afraid I'll need more resolution to be able to read anything on it. ETN550, I agree that capacitors do fail with age, but as I said above, the burned part is a diode, and they normally do not fail with age during our lifetimes.

    CR14 is a diode. It's a little 1A diode. You can use a 1N4004, 1N4005, 1N4006, or 1N4007 to replace it. What Steelypip said still goes though... it's likely that something overloaded it to make it burn up like that. If you can get me a schematic diagram, I can give you an idea of what to...

    need help with starter for my 89 3 kw 24v generator

    The diodes usually have a part number on them. Can you see the number on a similar one or post a photo? I looked for a schematic, but haven't found one yet. Unless D14 is a big power rectifier diode with a stud mount, I bet you can use a 1N5408, which is an inexpensive 3 amp 1000V diode...
