High specification Capacitor manufactured for long life.
Generator Guru says:
It is common for the capacitor on a generator to test as working correctly, but then fail when the higher voltages are applied to it by the alternator. It is advisable to always change your Generator Capacitor if the voltage changes (and the engine is normal speed.) This causes 99% of the problems with the electricity output on brushless generators and can damage your alternator if it completely fails, sending a high voltage through the alternator. This could burn out the windings and result in a very expensive replacement being required.
The Capacitor is essential to your Generator producing electricity. It is required to excite the Alternator windings and reduce voltage surges. Capacitors should last the lifetime of the generator, but can burn out or be damaged if any of the following occur:
Generator user has tried to draw more power than the Generator can produce.
A surge has happened on equipment and the capacitor has blown to protect the Alternator.

This part saved a Sumo generator for an elderly fisherman. I found your site, saw one of your videos and knew which part to replace. The replacement is a higher standard of component.

Revive the Wolf 950

The part I required was easy to locate and order and this meant that I was able to revive a generator that the customer was going to scrap. obviously he was delighted when I returned it to him in full working order.
Search information was excellent and delivery prompt.

Stumbled on Generator Guru on you tube . Found videos very informing & with help on website was easily able to diagnose why my little 2 stoke genny had failed . Ordered the part & fitted ; generator works again! Had given up on it otherwise.
