Mills Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I let the smoke out of my little generator and now find myself in a fix. How does one go about getting this dude repaired? Troy-Bilt kept referring me to the same 'service centers' as on their web site. every last one fixes the gas motor, NOT the generator. It being Saturday, there aren't any electric shops open around here so I'll wait til Monday and explore that option. What other avenues might I explore?

J W Bennett Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Most Welding supply houses have repair shops that can repair generators. JWB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rthibeau Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 wasn't the draw a little hard on that Troy-Bilt?....:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Gomez Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 You might also ask your local RV dealer. Most larger RV's Are equipped with on board generators that more often than not are in need of some type of repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 Apparently it was, rthibeau, 2 of us working off of it. Me welding and Asa running grinders and sawzall. :0 first time I tried that. Those are some good alternates folks, thanks, and keep them cards and letters coming. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J W Bennett Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Mills, Did you peek under the sheet metal to see if there was any internal fuses or breakers? It sounds like you just tripped an overload. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 It does have a circuit breaker on the outside, but now there is a bunch of smoke out there as well. I don't think there is anything internal. I am going to pull it today to look for brown spots. Who knows what I might find. I did get a number for a fellow here in town who is capable and works out of his garage. He has done a lot of motors for my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
