Narrative:
After having started the right engine at mex, the right generator off light was on and higher than normal egt. The attempt to close 13TH stage bleed valve per manual, I advanced right engine throttle. N2 rose to normal idle, right generator came on line, but egt then rose to 580 degrees.
