Portable generator service in Sandy Eggo
My Yamaha 3000 generator quit putting out AC power. I've been told it is now a dead man anchor, but in the interest of spending money and helping the
economy does anyone have a good generator repair/rebuilder in SD?
it starts right up and purrs but no output.

Does the 12v DC output receptacle have power? If yes, then I wonder if there is a problem with the AC circuit breaker?
Maybe this will help:

Have the same problem and I'm thinking "worn brushes"?

negative, no AC power.
edit: the green AC output light is off and the 10A fuse is good.

Inverter generators have a rotor and stator that generates the power that the inverter needs to make 120v power. I would call around and take it to an
authorized repair place. They'll probably have the test equipment necessary to test it and replace the necessary parts. Otherwise it is just a hunt
and peck type operation which can get expensive really fast.

A lot of 'brainiacs" over there on BD. Especially those kooks up in the NW 
Just do not know where it would be best to post it.
Maybe the Marine Electronics Board......yea...thats where those guys like to hang out..
I hate not being able to fix something myself and then having to run around in the blind just trying to find someone to merely look at it.....not yet
honestly and properly repair it....
Good luck with your journey...

I have a Yamaha 6300 isde that has the same issue. I searched online and found a guy who took it into a yamaha service center and they wanted to
replace the board for about $800. Another guy with same issue found the board has a soldered in fuse that burned up. He soldered in a new one and was
back in business for under $4.
I plan on opening mine up and looking for that board fuse.

A-OK,
That's where I was trying to point Woody.
Is yours model # EF6300iSDE ? If not, any other 6300's probably share similar electronics. If you didn't see my link above, it might help you to track
down the problem.
http://www.gen-tech.net/fullpanel/uploads/files/theory--diag...
Section 3-72 (page #148 of the PDF file). Looks like two breakers identified as #5, and one fuse #20 on the schematic.
Hope you find the $4 fix!

Yes that's my gennie. These newer Yamaha inverter gens are pretty similar. The AC breaker on our units are on the front panel and the 10amp fuse is
inside the cover. Sounds like Woody found that too. From what I'm told the suspect soldered fuse is inside the unit on the control board. I'll let you
know what I find as soon as I get some time to work on it. Keep us updated Woody.

over $3000 to replace the controller, stator and rotor. $700 of it is labor. they got Yamaha on the phone and that guy said if those 3 parts were not
replaced together he couldn't promise it would work.
looks like a new deadman in BdeLA!
