TROY, your 5kw gen...

Troy that generator head can probably be saved. the first things i would do are;
1) using an ohm meter, check all the plugs, going from neutral to hot. There should be no or little resistance.
(A) if there is resistance, take the end cover off the generator head. there should be a terminal strip there, check for resistance respectively. if there is no continuity between hot+neutral, scrap it. but if there is that's good.
(B) if there is no resistance take off the gen heads end cover off and see if it is a brush type generator. if it is apply 12 volts dc across the field (Rotor) start engine and test plugs for voltage, if voltage is present resemble the generator its fixed.
if it is a brush-less generator, you will have to flash the field. Sorry cant help ta there, (that's what GOOGLE is for )
(A2) if the generator head proves to be good, check all wiring, im sure you could figure that out.
It would really help if you tore your generator down and posted a video or pictures, so that i could give better advice.
I know how important it is to have a good genny from one DoItYourselfer to another.
if some one reads this and thinks i have gotten something wrong, let me know! (we never stop learning)
