So this weekend our Westerbeke 7.2 stopped making power. Runs great just now AC output.
I have read everything I can find and everything points to the Cap the Diodes.
Today we went out and after an hour of messing around we were able to remove the Cap but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get to the Diodes.
I know where they are, but think it is crazy that I would have to remove the whole metal backend to get to them.
Is there an access panel I am missing? or do I really have to unbolt the rear end from the engine? I am guessing its the four bolts near the middle of the genset. Will the rotor and stator stay put when I pull that whole thing apart ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
