I have a Rigid 8000w that we have used almost daily for a project. But now none of the outlets have power coming out. It has a total of 4 - 120v AC GFCI 20 Amp receptacles and 1 - 120/240volt AC 30 amp receptacle.
None have power, but the gen runs fine I checked the breakers and none are tripped
So I think it's the capacitor, does this seem correct?

Hi,
Doubtful that it is a capacitor. Often there is a "hidden" solid state breaker. Provide tha model number and I will attempt to get the breakdown.
Peace,
Clarke

Hi,
Here is the parts breakdown from one place:
http://www.mastertoolrepair.com/images/RIDGID_RD8000_parts.pdf
Additionally Ridgid has a good site with a Forum and Support choice on the menu. There are tutorials (I did not look at them) in the Support section.
8000 Watt Generator - RIDGID Professional Tools (http://www.ridgid.com/tools/rd8000-generator/en/index.htm)
Another source for parts is:

You say the you tried the circuit breakers; did you also try resetting the GFCI buttons on the receptacles?
Peace,

Yes I did try the resets. I even tested to see if power was even going to the receptables. But no its not.
Thanks for the pdf and the links

Hi,
Did you check to see if there is power leaving the generator itself?
Peace,
