Hi All,
I have a ferret which has a 2-speed generator, coupled with a Generator Box No. 2 mk2/1.
After a while of being stored I got it fired up and found the generator light stayed on. On further examination I found the main 50amp fuse in the top cover of the Gen Box had blown, so I replaced it. Started up fine, light went out and stayed out while the engine was running. However, on stopping the engine, I could audibly hear a 'fizzing sound', I quickly cut the power from a battery. I then tentatively reconnected the batteries and, no sound. I then turned the ignition on again, got the 2 warning lights correctly lit and on starting found the red light was again staying on. On investigation found the 50A fuse burned away!!
I must have a serious fault, I wondered if anyone here might have any similar experience?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jim
