to get it back operating properly
So I found out something that was pretty cool. That a lot of people don't know. So I cranked up my generator it runs fine but it's not putting out power. So I called Briggs & Stratton company. He told me my generator lost its magnetic field. So he told me to start up the generator and plug in a electric drill. And keep turning the drill backwards. Till it automatically comes on. And goes the right way... it puts the magnetic field back into the generator.. I thought that was pretty cool to know..

Electric Drill Method
Plug in an electric drill into the generator receptacle.If the drill is reversible, move the direction switch to the forward position.Start the generator.While depressing the trigger on the drill, spin the drill chuck in reverse direction. This will excite the field and the generator will now produce electricity. If spinning the chuck one direction does not work, try spinning the chuck in the other direction as you may have the reverse switch positioned backward.
Use caution not to get your hand or other materials caught in the chuck. As soon as the field is exited, the generator will produce power and the drill will turn on.
