  To avoid damaging the female pins of the Molex connectors on your Generac Power Systems Portable Generator, which can create further issues, do not attempt to push probe tips into them. Instead, use piercing probes on the correct wire to check for the appropriate voltages. Alternatively, you can use the flexible pin leads, available from the manufacturer (PN 0J09460SRV), designed to work with these connector plugs.
