Hello all,
This is my first post here so I figured I would dive right in. I picked up an older Honda EB3000c cycloconverter generator with the GX200 engine. From what I understand, these are robust generators but this one has no spark. I bought it thinking it would just need an ignition coil but found out the previous owner had already done some work to it. He replaced the ignition coil, ignition module, gas tank, ignition switch and carb. I pulled it all apart and found that the rotor magnets separated from the rotor housing. Bummer. Went ahead and replaced the ignition coil with a genuine one and put a new rotor on it but no dice. I feel like I'm missing something simple here but just cant seem to figure it out. The factory shop manual isn't even any help. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm way too deep in this project to give up now.
Thanks for your time,
