Champion 10K red light on board

admin

OK, I have searched high and low. My Champion 10,000 loses power after a few seconds of running and a red light comes on on the board. I have read every thread I can find and the few times this light was mentioned no one ever explained what it means. I need help.

Reply:I got it duaneb55, went to do the test on it. First thing I checked was the brushes. When started they have 125 to 130 volts DC, has power for maybe 30 seconds then the red light comes on and lose power. Voltage slowly drops to around 30 volts, red light goes out, power returns and it goes through the process of tripping out again. The board looks good with no burnt spots.
