cheap generator

duno where to post this one?

any ways, just on the off chance doz anyone have one of those b&q generators, yer kno about £100s worth . got one last year and it int worked since, stripped engine and got that running sweet now, just gota sort electrics out, got 240v amp mtr and 12 / 24 boost on front but mtr not registering voltage!.... but can pick up 250v with multi mtr?? still wont run a powertool tho, ( or a bulb) any ideas?

what wattage is it?

1.1kva

so abart 880watts . and what wattage power tool is yer tryng to fire up

just tried a small 280w drill to test , nothing tho, as it has a therm overload would that be fooked and there fore need "bypassing"

try it, it usually only two spade connectors wot yer can slide together to check

ok , be back in a min......

is it just me or has anyone else gort a vision of him stood there, a wire in each hand, face blackened and his hair standing straight up?

I've got a diesel engined 2.2Kva genny and everytime yer plugged anything into it the voltage dropped to 200V I've over revved it so it puts 290V out. Now when yer plug owt in the voltage drops to 220/230V and it runs fine.

come now on slob, no need for that . just crimped the wires to bypass the therm overload, still no output .......

ah take it yerv check yer brushes?

hehehehehehehe

visually nawt up wi any of it, only had bout 2 hrs use out of it till we put a spot light on it and it died. so this brings me to it being a fuse / over load protection problem , had good fook about wi the cables and still no look

take the fooker back then

looks that way , had them before and they have been a pain but easily sorted out , this one wont have any of it , me last one caught fire after the fuel line perished, took it back and said it were like that when i opened the box, will try with this one tomorrow when i get it back together.

before yer take it back can yer chore the starter lug thingy orf it fer me? mate

the recoil bit? lug? a starter lugs a crimp init?

the bit on the inner ring at the 10 o'clock position

can drop generator off for yer if yer want,

aye, have yer got a tent?
