This started all of a sudden. The governor just appears to lose power and fall in between overriding the mechanical governor or shutting down. When in this condition, the magnet does not capture the target, and the governor does not override the mechanical governor.
When I turn the switch to the off position, all the guages go to zero and the engine seems to go on slightly slower idle. When I toggle it back to on, the engine seems to rev up just a little, but nothing else happens. Once in a while, the generator goes back to normal state. I'm thinking that I have a loose connection somewhere.
When this condition happens, the unit still produces voltage, but when I put the unit under load, the circuit breaker opens.
If I latch the governor to the manual start position, I get lots of power at the speed controller and plenty of power at the lugs. Works just fine under load.
Thanks for your help, Chris. I real all 300 posts on this thread. This has been the best info on these great little gensets.
