Portable generator problems
I have a porter cable 5500watt bs1550. It is 12 years old & has had some use. The other night we lost power. It started & ran fine until 3am when the generator stopped producing power but the engine was running fine. I noticed the circuit brakers were in there run position but would not reset. I let it coll off but after restarting the engine it would not produce any power. Please advise.
