Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
Lead deposits tend to build up in the combustion chambers.Use of leaded gasoline.Use clean, fresh, no lead or low-lead gasoline. Regular grade gasoline may also be used but not highly leaded premium types. For new engines, use nonleaded gasoline. For older engines that have previously used leaded gasoline, remove all lead deposits from the cylinder heads before switching to nonleaded gasoline.
Preignition can occur causing engine damage.Not removing lead deposits before switching from leaded to non-leaded gasoline.
Erratic operation of the generator set.Operating the generator set from a tee in the main fuel line.The set's fuel pump has neither the capacity nor the power to overcome the draw of vehicle engine fuel pump.
Operating problems due to the fuel system.Check the fill cap to make sure the vacuum and pressure relief valve is working properly.
Low or Discharged BatteryFaulty Starter, Faulty Start Solenoid
The speed may remain about the same or increase when the load is applied, resulting in a frequency 1 or 2-cycles Aigker than the no load frequency.If the rise in frequency is more than 2-cycles, lessen the internal spring tension. If there is a drop in the frequency, increase the booster internal spring tension. To increase the tension, pull out on the spring bracket, and move the pin to a different hole.
Engine will not start when crankedBattery discharged. Loose connections. Defective starting circuit. Defective switch.Refill tank. Check fuel system. Clean, adjust, as necessary. Crank few times with spark plugs removed. Drain, refill with fresh fuel. Tighten cylinder heads & spark plugs. Reset breaker points.
Engine cranks too stifflyToo heavy oil in crankcase.Drain, refill with lighter oil.
Hot crankLack of fuel or faulty carburetion.Tighten connections. Clogged fuel screen. Repait or replace as necessary. Cylinders flooded. Replace. Poor fuel. Poor compression.
Excessive oil consumption, light blue smoky exhaustOil leaks from oil base or connections, This does not cause smoky exhaust.Check breather valve.
Engine misfiring.Faulty ignition.Clean, adjust, or replace spark plugs.
BLACK, SMOKY EXHAUST, EXCESSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION, FOUCING OF SPARK PLUG WITH SOOT, POSSIBLE LACK OF POWER UNDER HEAVY LOADFuel mixture too rich.Adjust carburetor or choke. Install needed carburetor parts.

Fuel stale or low octane.Use good, fresh fuel.
LEAN FUEL MIXTURE.Clean or adjust carburetor. Clean intake air line.
LIGHT POUNDING KNOCKInspect linkage and setting.Clean & adjust carburetor.
Low air supply.Add oil. Change oil.
ENGINE MISFIRES AT LIGHT LOADSpark plug gap too narrow.Adjust to correct gap. Tighten or replace manifold and carburetor gaskets.
INTAKE AIR LEAK.Tighten or replace manifold and carburetor gaskets.
FAULTY IGNITION.Clean, adjust or replace spark plugs. Tighten cylinder head & spark plugs. Grind valves.
LOW COMPRESSION.Tighten cylinder head & spark plugs. Grind valves.
ENGINE MISFIRES AT HEAVY LOADSpark plug gap too wideAdjust gap
CLOGGED CARBURETOR.Clean, adjust or replace spark plugs. Clean jet and adjust carb.

Oil too heavy grade.Drain. Refill.
Clogged oil passages.Clean all lines & passages.
Oil relief valve stuck.Clean by-pass. Replace if needed.
ENGINE OVERHEATING (Approximasely 60°F higher than ambient)Overloaded.Reduce load.
VOLTAGE LOW AT FAR END OF LINE BUT NORMAL NEAR POWER PLANTToo small line wire for load and distance.Install larger or extra wires. Or reduce load.
ELECTRIC MOTOR RUNS TOO SLOWLY AND OVERHEATS AT FAR END OF LINE BUT OK IF USED NEAR POWER UNITToo small line wire for load and distance.Install larger or extra wires. Or reduce load.
VOLTAGE UNSTEADY BUT ENGINE NOT MISFIRINGSpeed too low.Adjust governor to correct speed.
Loose connections.Tighten connections.
