At least it seems the X is present on the part-saw.

Hi,

I removed the flywheel yesterday and found that the wires from the generator were cut.

I soldered new wires (guessing which was "ground" and which was going to the switch).

 

I only had a chance to test at idle speed, but so far, no heat that I could feel. I will try it in some wood to see if it only needs some more revs to produce heat or not.

If that doesnt work I will try changing the polarity from the generator. Last resort would be to get a replacement generator.

Are there magnets inside the flywheel? Possibly the original flywheel may have been replaced and the wires cut. Odd that they  have been so, takes a little while to warm up-  but end up switching mine off after 20 mins or so as it too warm!  K

That might be the reason. I forgot to check inside the flywheel.

I have gotten a new generator and replacement flywheel off a part saw now. Acording to the guy with the part saw thos os the way it was wired. 
 

i have installed the «new» parts and i am measuring around 6vac from the generator at idle speed and around 13-14vac at full throttle. So the generator seems to be doing the job. 
 

Still it is difficult to feel the heat, but I will try to run it longer to see if it just takes a while. Even though there is no ground connection involved in this wiring, i am measuring a short cirquit against ground from somewhere. Maybe it does not matter for the function, or maybe that is the problem.

It looks like a simple circuit, a continuity check at the switch would be the first thing to see if it is shorted somewhere.

Sorry bit off topic to this current fix but is there any reason why i cannot buy the parts and turn my 390/385xp  into having heated handles like an xpg?

It would be expensive.....

Flywheel With Magnetic ring on the back)

Generator

Wiring loom

Top handle

Rear handle Pads

Switch

It is dooable, just damn expensive!

Sell the 390 and buy a 592xpg.
