Ive had rain here the past couple of days. Its partly cloudy right now and beautiful outside. Good day to sit outside while they run

I know what the book says, reality says get the windings warm enough to get rid of the moisture. Moisture is what hurts generators, run it with a load long enough to heat the windings and you are good to go!
