Also... is the rotor attached to the pulley at the bottom with a bolt...or is it just connected with a key way. Everything so far is a tap and ply, so I was curious if that will work to get the rotor out. Should be a bolt and a slight press fit.

Sure you can ask. Here is a link to the supplier I found. I know the brand name is different but I believe that is the suppliers name and it is still for a generac. But verify all info when you call. That is the correct part number for your model number generator (09592-3) 5500 watt. If that one is not correct or does not work out let me know as I have other suppliers with availability but just costs a little more. www.rvautoparts.com/077005H-Schwalm-Generator-Parts-Rv-Rotor_p_385270.html

That looks pretty bad. Almost like it got so hot it shifted the slip ring. I did find multiple places that have a new rotor replacement, the cheapest in Cali. for 236.05 plus shipping. Let me know if you want info..

Yea that brush holder is pretty nasty looking. Can you get a clearer pic of that slip ring? How deep is that groove?

Your on the right track but also add the possibility of a coating on the slip rings preventing contact, brush stuck in the holder, broken brush spring, etc. You have to get in there and find the problem. Just hope the brush holder screws come out. They sometimes break off. Had to drill many of them. Just have to try to keep metal filings out of inside generator head. Good luck and let us know what you find.

Try using the generator housing for ground. You should be getting a reading between ground and the wire from that 2 wire connector going to the generator brush assembly.

Then I would next suggest you separate those 2 wires that you disconnected from the regulator and determine which one goes to the brushes and do an ohm test between that wire and ground.

Your jumper wire has a constant 12vdc, correct?
Were you testing for AC 120v right at each breaker?

700 hours is not many hours for the brushes to be bad but you never know. Did you do the ohm test with all wiring still connected?

It could be the regulator. But for any trouble shooting I would need your model number.

You can test at the 50 amp plug while you make your adjustment. Yes, that blue thing with the screw, right next to the red led on the regulator. That is the voltage adjustment.
