Default Agree with Lynn - maybe a problem

Hi Darrin

Agree with Lynn that there is a potential for a problem running a generator with nothing connected to it. I have seen the same warning in other automotive and truck manuals of the period.

I have run generators on while testing engines with out connecting them, but then I remember the admonitions not to do that. But it has never damaged a generator.

Maybe you could consider putting a 12v light bulb or other load on the gen to provide a dummy load and also give you an indication that it is generating power. Or even putting a volt meter on the generator out put and if you start seeing voltage stop.

Cheers Phil
