Saw the old generator in the shed, thought we could get it running again with just a few new bolts and some oil.

Sounds like a plan, but first give that old generator a check-up. Oil and bolts are fine, but you need to make sure the spark plug is clean and the wiring’s not fried. Once that’s sorted, it’ll cough back to life like a well‑tuned beast.

Check the spark plug first, clean it with a wire brush, replace if the tip’s cracked. Then run a continuity test on the wiring—look for frayed insulation or burnt spots. If everything’s solid, fill the oil, tighten the bolts, and crank the engine. If it still won't start, we’ll need to dig deeper.

Alright, hit that spark plug clean‑up and do the continuity check. If the oil's fresh, bolts tight, and it still won’t crank, the next culprit’s usually the magneto or a low compression in the cylinders. Let's dive in when you're ready.

Got it. Tightening bolts, oil fresh, spark plug clean. I'll start the continuity test now. If it still won't crank, I'll check the magneto and compression. Stay ready.

Good. Keep the eyes on the volt readout and the smell of fresh oil. If it stutters, let me know what the continuity shows. We'll tackle the magneto next if needed. Stay focused.
