1993 American Eagle Onan Generator Low Voltage Fix: Rectifier Bridge Corrective Steps
Tried everything to fix my 1993 American Eagle's Onan generator low voltage issue — about to buy a $150 rectifier bridge but is it actually the solution? Everything seems to run fine - it starts up without issues and sounds normal - but I'm only getting 12-15 volts output instead of the proper voltage I should be seeing.
I've been doing some research and think it might be related to the rectifier bridge or suppressor components, but I'm not entirely sure. The service manual mentions parts CR21 and RV21, but I'm honestly a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out exactly which replacement parts I need.
Could someone help me understand what's likely causing this low voltage issue and point me toward the correct replacement parts? I'd really appreciate any guidance from those more experienced with Onan generator repairs. …more
