I Need Help Diagnosing Non-Start Issues with Powersystems International Model 2003850 35kw Generator GET HDT global John Deere 3cyl turbo diesel engine
I have been using this GET for the past five years cooling my shop with the AC unit on the trailer. I have changed the filters and oil on a regular basis and it only has 1100 hours on the unit.
Here's what happened: The generator initially started up last week but abruptly died without any load. The indicator light displayed "over speed." Now, whenever I turn the start switch to ON, the 15-amp circuit breaker immediately trips.
I've already attempted a few troubleshooting steps, but I'm unable to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions you can provide to help me resolve this issue. Here's what I've done so far:
If anyone has experienced a similar issue or has any expertise with Powersystems International generators, your guidance would be immensely valuable. Please share your insights, suggestions, or troubleshooting steps that I may have missed. Your assistance will help me get my generator up and running again.
Thank you all in advance for your support and expertise.

- Checked the fuel level: Ensured that the generator has an adequate supply of fuel.
- Verified the oil level: Ensured that the oil level is sufficient.
- Verified the engine turns when jumping the starter relay by hand.
- Pressed the reset button on the governor speed control unit.
- Verified the batteries : Ensured that the batteries are fully charged and properly connected.
- Examined the wiring: Checked for loose, damaged, or frayed wires and made sure all connections are secure.
- Checked all of fuses and relays
- Traced the issue to wire 9 from the on/start switch. With this wire removed from the switch the 15am circuit breaker won’t trip and the engine will turn over but not start
- The number 9 wire is attached to a wire terminal block with many other wires.
