tvenetis 1 #1 Posted Saturday at 11:17 PM I replaced the plug outlet on a tiny tiger generator and the white wire that goes to the plug broke off flush with the windings. I was wondering if some one has the stator that i can buy because it looks like the wire comes from the windings from the middle of the winding and there is no slack.

Wallfish 708 #2 Posted yesterday at 01:07 AM No slack at all. the "epoxy" or whatever it is holds and isolates the winding wires. You can pick it out carefully and solder the wire back but be sure to cover it again. Something like liquid electrical tape should work. 1 tvenetis reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tvenetis 1 #3 Posted yesterday at 12:03 PM A friend helped me and we soldered the wire and I put the generator together. It is not producing 120 volts. I even tried speeding ut up and no change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 708 #4 Posted yesterday at 03:58 PM That old epoxy is always cracked and brittle so moving the wires can expose the copper wire and cause a "short". Maybe use a meter to confirm the windings are not shorted to each other. Have someone look at this wiring pic for you. It's an open generator with the wiring 1 tvenetis reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tvenetis 1 #5 Posted yesterday at 04:07 PM I have a talking meter so put the meter leads on the wires that go to the plug outlet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The winding wires of the generator without anything connected to them. You should be able to figure out if something is shorted or if the wire is broken and not making a complete circuit. Then you can verify through the AC plug as the wires connect directly to that. Systematic detective work going through each circuit to hunt down where the issue is. It appears there are 2 separate set of windings. One for the AC and the other for the DC. Verify you are connecting the correct wires to each. Was the 12v DC working but not the AC?

tvenetis 1 #7 Posted yesterday at 04:50 PM I never checked if the dc was working. When I put the 2 probles of the meter in the plug socket and put it on continuity it beeped indication of a short. 1 Wallfish reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 708 #8 Posted yesterday at 07:53 PM Carefully check where that wire was repaired. It's difficult to open that crusty stuff up without cracking more but just go slow. Solder with a solder gun and not a torch Check the other wires too as once you open it up and move them the insulation cracks easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tvenetis 1 #9 Posted yesterday at 08:20 PM We used a soldering gun to solder the wire. I do not understand why the black wire comming from the outlet branches off and connected to the diod with a wire nut that was crimped from the factory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
