I bought a non working lighting tower (with a running kubota engine) and this had transformer regulation. The transformer was the problem it was open circuit it cost as much to get it rewound as I paid for the whole thing. I rang the company that made the alternator (genco) and they had stopped making them.(There's a 3rd type - a transformer winding voltage control that's rarely seen now. Great fir big motor start and impact loads, but like capacitors, the regulation is rather crude and not tight like a good AVR system).
Genco aren't a very big Mfr. You don't see much of their stuff (though it was alright).I bought a non working lighting tower (with a running kubota engine) and this had transformer regulation.

Its working now I had the transformer re-wound cost me £200. Genco have finished now when I rang them it was their last week of trading. Very helpful chap in the technical department I gave him the serial number and he told me the wire size and number of turns on the transformer.Genco aren't a very big Mfr.

If you still have it - I can get you an SAE coupling chart so you can confirm the SAE of the rotor disc and the housing - and you could fit a complete alternator from another Mfr (e.g. MeccAlte).
Didn't realise Genco had wound up. Never had much to do with them, but it's always a shame when another small UK Mfr bites the dust amongst globalised mass-produced competition.Its working now I had the transformer re-wound cost me £200.
