Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
Engine cranks but will not startNo fuel. Faulty fuel solenoid (FS). Harness/wiring issue. Faulty spark plug(s). Valve clearance out of adjustment, if applicable. See Engine.Replenish fuel / turn on fuel valve. Contact an IASD for assistance. Clean; inspect spark plug gap; replace spark plug(s) if necessary. Inspect and adjust valve clearance.
Engine cranks but will not start.1. Out of fuel. 2. Defective fuel solenoid (FS). 3. Defective spark plug(s). 4. Valve lash out of adjustment.1. Replenish fuel / Turn on fuel valve. 2. * 3. Clean, re-gap or replace plug(s). 4. Reset valve lash.
Engine cranks but won't start1. Out of fuel. 2. Fuel solenoid (FS) is defective 3. Open Wire #14A from Engine Control circuit board. 4. Spark plugs defective. 5. Door on tank not closed.1. Replenish fuel. 2. Replace solenoid.* 3. Reconnect wire. 4. Clean, regap or replace plugs. 5. Close door on tank.
Engine damage.Verify proper type and quantity of engine oil prior to starting engine. Failure to do so could result in engine damage.
Engine oil level is low.1. Engine starts then shuts down. AUTO/OFF/MANUAL Switch at OFF, engine continues to run
Engine speed and frequency drop excessively under loadEngine may be underpowered; result of dirty air cleaner, loss of engine compression, faulty fuel settings, or incorrect ignition timingRefer to Section 4.5 Diagnostic Tests for repair procedures
Engine starts hard and runs roughPlugged or damaged air cleaner. Faulty spark plug(s). Incorrect fuel pressure. Fuel selector in wrong position. Valve clearance out of adjustment, if applicable. See Engine.Inspect and clean air cleaner. Clean; inspect spark plug gap; replace spark plug(s) if necessary. Verify fuel pressure to regulator is 10–12 in water column (2.49–2.99 kPa) for LP gas, and 3.5–7.0 in water column (0.87–1.74 kPa) for NG. Set fuel conversion valve to correct position and program controller for fuel type. Inspect and adjust valve clearance.
Engine starts hard and runs rough.1. Air cleaner plugged or damaged. 2. Defective spark plug(s). 3. Fuel regulator not set. 4. Fuel pressure incorrect. 5. Fuel selector in wrong position. 6. Choke remains closed.1. Check / replace air cleaner. 2. Clean, re-gap or replace plug(s). 3. Set fuel regulator. 4. Confirm fuel pressure to regulator is 10-12” water column (19-22mm mercury) for LP, and 3.5 - 7” water column (9-13mm mercury) for natural gas. 5. Move selector to correct position. 6. Verify choke plate moves freely.
Engine starts hard, runs rough.1. Flame arrestor (air cleaner) plugged or damaged. 2. Plugged fuel line. 3. Defective spark plugs. 4. Fuel pressure incorrect.
Engine will not crankBlown fuse. Loose, corroded, or faulty battery cables. Faulty starter contact.Correct short circuit condition by replacing 7.5 A fuse in generator control panel. Contact an IASD if fuse continues to blow. Tighten, clean, or replace as necessary.* Contact an IASD for assistance.
