[QUOTE="rlepecha, post: 585491, member: 19679"] Generator probably wants polarizing if its been sat a while.. Method: To polarize a generator, connect a jumper wire from the (DF) terminal on the generator to the generator frame. Remove the fan belt, then connect a wire from the positive terminal on the battery to the (D+) terminal on the generator. The generator shaft should start to spin. Note: Don't run the generator this way for more than a few seconds to avoid overheating.
