I have about 100 hrs on the plane so far and I've had an intermittent problem getting the generator to come on-line. When this happens, if I toggle the Generator Switch (and the Generator CB, in either order) enough times (as much as 50), the generator will (usually) eventually work. I've had the problem in summer and winter, but the occurrence seems greater in winter. = I've run some wires out to the appropriate generator control pins on the Lamar box so I can get some diagnostic data the next time it fails. At this point, it could be Lamar box control wiring, the Lamar box itself, or the starter-generator. Has anyone had a similar problem? ...Clark Still (N750S, KPOU)
