 I have just bought another 240/110V generator. It was cheap because the =
generator doesn't. Haverhill generators appear to have departed this =
life, so I can't ask them. It is a 2 KVA unit.
 The engine (5hp Briggs and Stratton) works fine, fires up and runs =
straight away, but almost nothing comes out of the genny. I plugged a =
power tool into it and it just turns very slowly and intermittently. I =
don't have any 110V power tools, so I can't check that side.

 I've checked the connections inside the plastic cover with a multi =
meter, getting continuity everywhere and no current going to earth. =
There are no brushes fitted (no slip ring) and there is a big capacitor =
under the plastic cover (5" x 1")=20

 There appears to be no damage either physical or electrical.

 Any ideas what I should check next???

Regards,

Kim Siddorn.
