Onan Generator Control Problem - RC as solution?

[RyanN]

My dad is going to call in the experts. We talked to some people and they were recommending a place neither my dad nor I had ever heard of. It's a family owned business, but they are highly respected by my dad's friends, so he's going to talk to them on Friday.

I did get the engine running a little Thursday. I disconnected the voltage regulator to prevent further damage if it is possible, and the generator was disconnected from the rest of the boat's electrical system. No one would ever believe how hard it was to get the water pump primed... It took about 5 hours just to get the water flowing.

I hope none of the windings shorted out. It's a relatively young generator compared to other generators that last much longer and has had only 400 hours.

I know it's hard to see much of the generator in the picture, but it is pretty clean and rust free:
