I have a True Life 8000 Generator and it runs great but will not put out electricity. I have checked everything I know to check. Please help me. Hurricane season is here

    It did not work until I sped up the motor to run faster. Then it worked fine. If anyone else has this problem, you might add that. I flashed it, nothing worked,then I sped the motor up to run faster and like I said, it kicked in and worked good. Thank you.

Hi,
The small permanent magnets that start the field producing the electric have gone flat or lost their charge.
To get the generator part working again you will need to "flash" or reintroduce power back into the magnets.

This can be done in many ways... click here for one way

Here is another way to do it...

There are more if you want to google it...

Why won't my stanley 8000 generator put out power?

You have to be missing a switch to turn on the power outlets once it is running. That or a breaker needs to be turned on.

It is suggested you to run your Deutz diesel generator according to users' manual, thus, it can help prolong the service life longer and less problems occur during the use of the generator.

My generator will run but barely prodeces enough power to run a fan.

This is a brushless generator, it will not have the charcol things refered to above also known as brushes.. Fire it up and put a volt meter on the 120vac out let. If it is reading 4 to 6.5 vac then the armature is more than likely okay it can be as low as 2.25vac.. Pull the back of the generator off and there should be a large capacitor on the left side with two wires connected to it. If it is leaking or the top is separated replace it. The brushless generator uses the capacitor to excite the magnetic field on order to generate the electricity. It is a simple system with few parts to wear out. Good Luck.

HAVE A TROY-BILT 8000 WATT THAT STILLS RUNS GOOD, BUT NO OUT PUT.

Visit this site http://www.perr.com/phpBB3/ and they can tell you how to flash your generator. Might I suggest you run the generator often and put it under load even if you're not depending on its power output at the time like you would in a power outage. Like use it to power a shopvac or similar device.
