Troubleshooting Chart

Symptom Possible Cause(s)
Engine will not 1. Run switch is set to "OFF".
start 2. Fuel valve is turned to "CLOSE".
3. Choke is open.
4. Fuel tank is empty.
5. Engine is filled with
contaminated or old gas
6. Spark plug is dirty.
7. Spark plug is broken.
8. Unit is not on level surface.
9. Oil is low.
Engine runs 1. Main or secondary circuit
but there is no breaker(s) are tripped.
electrical output 2. Bad connecting of wires / cables.
3. Bad electrical device connected
to generator.
Generator runs 1. Generator is overloaded
but does not
support all
electrical devices 2. Short in one of the connected
connected. devices.
3. Air cleaner is dirty.
No output 1. Engine speed is too slow
voltage 2. Open, shorted, or incorrect
wiring
3. Faulty capacitor
4. Open or shorted field windings
5. Open diodes
6. Circuit breaker tripped
Low output 1. Engine speed is too slow
voltage with no 2. Open diodes
load 3. Faulty capacitor
4. Open or shorted fi eld windings
High output 1. Faulty capacitor
voltage with no 2. Engine speed is too fast
load
Low output 1. Open diode
voltage under 2. Engine speed too slow at full
load load
3. Excessive load applied
Erratic output 1. Unbalanced engine
voltage 2. Dirty, corroded, or loose wiring
connection
3. Unstable load applied
Noisy operation 1. Loose generator or engine bolt
2. Short circuit in generator field or
load
3. Faulty bearing
Auto-Idle does 1. Damaged or disconnect wire in
not work idle control circuit.
2. Failed idle control circuit board.
3. Failed current sensing coil.
★ These diagnostic and repair procedures should be performed by an authorized service center.
Corrective Action
1. Set run switch to "ON".
2. Turn fuel valve to "OPEN" position.
3. Close the choke.
4. Add gas.
5. Change the gas in the engine.
6. Clean spark plug.
7. Replace spark plug.
8. Move unit to a level surface to prevent low oil shutdown from
triggering.
9. Add or replace oil.
1. Reset main or secondary circuit breaker(s).
2. If you are using an extension cord, try a different one.
3. Try connecting a different device.
1. Turn off all electrical devices. Unplug all electrical devices. Turn
off generator. Wait several minutes. Restart generator. Try
connecting fewer electrical loads to the generator.
2. Try disconnecting any faulty or short-circuited electrical loads.
3. Clean or replace air cleaner.
1. Adjust engine speed. ★
2. Referring to the wiring diagram, clean and reconnect all
wiring. ★
3. Replace capacitor. ★
4. Test winding resistance, replace field winding if necessary. ★
5. Test diodes, replace if necessary. ★
6. Reset circuit breaker.
1. Adjust engine speed. ★
2. Test diodes, replace if necessary. ★
3. Replace capacitor. ★
4. Test winding resistance, replace field winding if necessary. ★
1. Replace capacitor. ★
2. Adjust engine speed. ★
1. Test diodes, replace if necessary. ★
2. Adjust engine speed. ★
3. Reduce the applied load.
1. Refer to engine manual.
2. Referring to the wiring diagram, clean and reconnect all
wiring. ★
3. Remove all loads, then apply each one individually to
determine which one is causing erratic function.
1. Tighten all mountings.
2. Test winding resistance, replace fi eld winding if necessary. ★
Test load devices for shorts. Replace defective load device.
3. Replace bearing.
1. Repair or replace wiring.
2. Replace idle control board.
3. Replace current sensing coil.
