Tools and Fixit Stuff
I have both English and metric tools... often the metric will fit a
slightly damaged English measure nut... and in other cases, the fit
is 'close enouogh' e.g. 13mm = 1/2 inch. And, as mentioned, the
generator may have a Japanese engine (in my case a Kubota). Some of
the appliances inside may also be Japanese or otherwise use metric
measure bolts/nuts etc.

A volt meter or multi-meter (learn how to use it) is indispensable.
Low voltage is a frequent symptom that causes various difficulties.
