David, The brushes are a variable wear item but when they go the unit is down, I have seen brushes worn down to the ribbon in under 2000 hrs and some go twice that and are still OK, As they wear rotor scuff can be an issue plus as they wear the tension gets weaker and its more prone to build up on

I have a Generac EcoGen 6kW LP gas genset in my neighborhood that I’m maintaining. It’s been in service for over 12 years and it has 3,200 hours on it. I see that I missed the recommended 2,500 hour service for changing the alternator rotor brushes. My question is how critical is it that the br

Hello David, I have had that problem on other generators. I have had similar problems not with an Eco gen but with a couple of other propane generator models. The problem occurs during cold weather. The problem was poor gas supply pressure and the problem was I could not convince anyone that was t
