generator fan wont run

[al perna]

Darrel , I think we will try some easier items prior to fan replacement . I hope it does not come down to a replacement . thank you for the idea.

Chuck , I can start the Genny and she will produce 110 v , but the fan will not turn . I did snap off the toggle while resetting it and believe this must be the on/off for the fan . this still does not explain why a new battery has gone dead ? could the alternator be bad ? if so how do I check it ?
