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.
The Capacitor is made of Paper cells and has degraded. (Usually found on Chinese built generators.)

Does the job
Posted by Ady Pearce on 29th May 2013
After my generator died I thought that was it, being as I got it off ebay 7 years ago I was ready to get a new one. Once I found this site and watched the video I ordered a new capacitor,delivery was fast. After a quick call to Generator Guru how the wire it up some fresh fuel and a new spark plug too it runs like a dream. hopefully will run for another 7 years.

Better than the original

I knew a capacitor had failed, but I didn't know why. A visit to the GeneratorGuru web page revealed that this brand of capacitor is notorious for unrerliablility.
GeneratorGuru's easy to follow instructions made choosing an alternative capacitor easy. The part arrived on time and my generator is as good as new!

Alot cheaper than a new generator!
Posted by Charlie on 26th Oct 2012
I thought my generator was history but as a last ditch effort, I did some digging around and found Generator Guru and his great videos! Followed the instructions, located the problem and learned a little bit about generators in the process! I would recommend him to anyone! Thanks!
