Just a guess....But is it possible that there was a little bit of water in
the bottom of the fuel tank which was sucked into the carburetor? This would explain the drops in RPM as the water filled the bottom of the carb float bowl until the water level raised enough to stop the genset from running. You would still see liquids in the fuel lines like you saw. See if there is an easy way to drain the carbureator bowl and catch the contents in a clear jar. Water will sink to the bottom. The low voltage you are reading may be normal until the unit is up to speed... Good Luck! Last week, it ran down in rpms a couple of times, and then died. All efforts to restart have failed. I was low on fuel in the supply tank, and figured that was the problem. I have cracked the solenoid from the carb housing, and have fuel running out, so I "don't" think I have a fuel pump problem. I am not developing A/C voltage, though. IT's like 10 volts on the panel meter, or something trivial during the start. Would the lack of the battery charger output from the A/C side be causing this symptom? Any other ideas? |
