Some of the problems I come across in the electrical trade are so electricians are not familiar with different parts of the trade. When they get a job in a shop and never did any class 1,2 and division 1,2 work or lite commercial work they will do the wrong thing. It's up to who ever interviews...

to reestablish the rotor semi permanent magnetic field you need to just flash the slip rings some how with a 12v dc battery by its self not in a car running. make sure you got the polarity right. just take the jumper wire and just put it on for only a split second it will spark a little but that...

I think if you reread what he wrote you will understand he's got a 500 gallon tank and if it's burning a gallon per hr at 75% load that would give him 500 hrs of run time. That would roughly be 2 1/2 weeks of straight run time.

The new 17 and 20 kw generac generators will run on 3 on the water column for ng. The new generators are very efficient. Just make sure you install the generator 5 ft from any openings vents, window's. Also make sure you got a good qualified electrician installing the 20 kw because they come...

My rate would be $120 first hr 80 every hr after. The electrical wireing would most likely be in emt surface mount, that would be the best wayto do the electric for the labor cost. Trying to install wireing inside the sheet rock would be labor intence and material cost will go up because of the...

im a generator dealer and a electrician with my experience with the big 3 generators on the past long extended outages people were getting about 3 days of continuous running on there home stand by with a 100 gallon propane fuel. now keep in mind the amount of fuel consumed matters on how hard...

Wjat ever generator you get make sure theres a dealer near you that will have parts or can do repairs if you have problems. Also make sure you run it at least once a month so it can lube the engine and seals. Also after every use of the generator shut the gas valve off and let the gas get used...

You will be fine with the generator with the hot tub. You just can't use it when your on generator power. 1 question I want to ask is why by the portable especially one the that big, you almost paied the same price for the home stand by same size. Im a dealer for the big 3 generators and...

Also keep in mind when a generator runs, unless its a 1800 rpm generators normally run at 3600 rpms. That would be equal to 95 mph. Now if you put 125 hr's on a generator its realistically 11,800 miles the generator went and its hard running miles. A lot of people don't realise how hard...

Depending on brand generator. Generac on air cooled units 5' from any openings. Other wise 18" from the back of the generator 3' on the sides and front need to be clear. Briggs same as generac. Kohler 5' from anything, until the new 20 kw only Kohler will have the 18" -36" rule. No mater what...

that unit has the same motor as the home standby. it is a made in the USA generac engine. you can get a natural gas or lp conversion kit. there is a company in texas that sells the kits. i will find out who it was, my boss went to one of the generac seminars and meet the owner that does the...

All generators

I've heard the same thing. If you pass with a high score you'll get an extra year or two before you have to get recertified.

When it comes to portables you can get a manual transfer switch so you can manage the right loads so you don't over load the generator. For the convertion kits that take a gasoline powered generator and make it run on propain or natural gas, it will eventually destroy the gasoline operated...

That's great to here. I'm a dealer for different generator brands and I always tell the customer the same thing on why by something new when it can possibly be repaired for cheap. Glad you got the right place and people. I would also right send emails what ever you can to Kawasaki to let them...

The carb would be the problem if its not the governor. Im going through a similar problem with a portable Honda I'm fixing the governor went bad because the engine would start running to fast after a minute or so, I repaired it then I'm going through the same problem you are now with as soon as...

It sounds to me its the mechanical governor. if it runs good no load and it shuts down as soon as you put it under a load the governor is not responding by throttling up.

Did you try running the generator without the gas cap on. The governor works by the rpm's of the motor. If the rpm's are low the carburetor throttle opens and pucks up speed, when you put a load on it does the throttle open to pick up speed if not the governor is bad if it does your carburetor...

The other problem might be if the generator has a mechanical governor, the governor might be going bad.

Take your gas cap off and try it. The vent on the gas cap might be clogged of it might be to restricted for air going into the tank.
