    Looks like all the excitement got the better of that one.
    I've been through this myself, but the prime mover was a turbo perkins 6 and it failed while I had two legs of the stator under as much single phase load as I could muster in the shop. Of course, your average enclosed discount generator won't have a single e-stop connected on the outside of the enclosure, not a problem till your generator cooling fan discharge is blowing fire and molten copper directly at the control panel. The good news is, in the five seconds between total meltdown and getting the engine to stop, it didn't manage to light off all the oil and fuel coating the top of the fuel tank inside the enclosure. Hurrah for small victories.

    Thanks AvE and I suppose even Dewclaw for the videos you make!

Went to trade school to be a Commercial/Residential electrician but fell in love with motors and industrial contrivances. Got a job now as a motor tech at a local shop that helps service the paper plant pump motors nearby and the taconite mine motors, going to get MSHA trained to do service calls for all kinds of problems from large motors, VFD’s, and simple push buttons. Love the work, enjoy the people (for the most part), and the pay is rather attractive. Couldn’t be happier!

    At one time I was the lucky fellow who got to start up the generators for the first time after they were rebuilt. I had to pull out the lucky 9v battery and touch the terminals to the exciter leads on the AVR a few times. That was the last step before swaping the AVR. I only had a genny smoke at the start of a run or a few 500hz that would blow smoke near the end of the run. The smell of the stator insulation is very different than burn wire insulation. It reminded me of wet straw, and about 30 seconds later the smoke would be rolling.

    Do not check windings insulation resistance, do not check rotating diodes, do not test by applying voltage to excitation windings from 0V from bench supply, then you will hear that engine takes to much load. Just buy new AVR, and apply 18V from accu when usually voltage

    The diesel starts and runs fine, gotta be a use for that down the road. Dewclaw wasn't far off trying to energize the field with the battery. I got a really nice Homelite generator that would not make electricity. Plugged 1/2" drill into it (generator not running) turned the check backward a bunch of times, fired it up and it has run great ever since. Turns out it was shut down under load, killed the magnetic field. Would not have believed it if I hadn't done it myself.

    I have a cracked piston from a deutz. From the back of beyond in alaska. the tale goes that the fellows had it shipped out and had a hell of a time getting it started. somehow they decided to bypass some things to get it started. One of those was supposedly a circuit that prevented it from running if the oil was low. and they hadnt realized it was shipped dry. supposedly the thing finally let go after running in a great deal of pain for an unexpectedly long time and threw bits in all directions in a mechanical "you can take this job and shove it!" tantrum.
    an apocryphal tale, I say, because I wasnt there. I just have this cracked piston cigar ashtray as a conversation piece gifted to me by a mechanic with a thousand yard stare.

      Stamford you say? Lima MAC are the bestest. No need for a clunky AVR. Complex as frig in the winding department but double vacuum dipped in epoxy windings mean none of this fuckery with makeshift BC copper foundry as was demonstrated in this videjo.
      And bolting a Lima MAC to a Deutz is the paragon of brick outhouse design.

    My guess is the field residual magnetism went and while trying to fix it the gen phases were moved and shorted, so once you put some power back into the field winding you got a few 100's of amps shorting which is why the motor bogged down and the pretty sparkles.
