[AT] Winco generator question

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Think the cold is starting to get to Dave! Seriously though, I was using an 
abrasive blast cabinet about 25 years ago that used a dedicated shop vac for 
dust recovery. The motor suddenly loaded up and lots of greenish smoke 
boiled out, needless to say we ordered another one from Grainger. Of course 
the electricians that looked at it enjoyed giving me grief about it as I was 
straight out of school.

Good luck on getting your generator troubles fixed soon Howard!

Hi Howard,
The problem is much worse that any of those who have responded to this point 
have indicated. Just as electric motors run on smoke, generators run on 
yellow. The "yellowish flash" that you saw was the yellow escaping from your 
generator. Without the yellow your generator will NEVER again generate! Once 
out, the yellow is very difficult to put back in a generator--GOOD LUCK!
Dave
