Ranger 8 electrical Problem

admin

Instlled a battery in a Ranger 8 with a P216G Onan. Upon connecting the positive cable there was an arc and smoke came from the flywheel area. Any ideas as to what might have blown?Thanks

Reply:That would be where Onan puts the alternator. You lost your charging circuit. Time to pull the flywheel and see what cooked off.QamuIs Heg qaq law' lorvIs yInqaq puS
Reply:Ummm, guys, the OP was from 2 YEARS ago!  Letting the magic smoke out means you have to get new parts that still have their magic smoke inside.  The best laid schemes ... Gang oft agley ...
