severely corroded, clean or repair if possible, or replace the control board.
8. When reconnecting the harness plug to the connector, ensure that the pair are
fully seated next to each other.
9. Measure DC voltage at the starter during a start attempt.
a. Repair wire connections as necessary.
b. Replace the start solenoid and starter as necessary.
10. Check for air filter cleanliness.
Replace the air filter as necessary.
11. Check for a blocked or damaged exhaust system.
Repair or replace exhaust components as necessary.
12. Propane models only:
a. When ambient temperatures are less than 40 °F (34.4 °C), vapor
withdrawal propane tanks should be at least half full to provide the proper
vaporization rate.
b. Propane having more than 2.5% butane will not vaporize in ambient
temperatures at less than 32 °F (0 °C); use HD-5 grade propane.
c. Verify tank level and fuel line conditions.
13. Measure steady DC voltage at the fuel solenoid while the generator set is
running.
Repair wiring as necessary.
14. Verify the vent hose is clear.
15. Check the generator set fuel lines for damage.
Replace the fuel line as necessary.
16. Measure the fuel supply pressures.
17. Check the governor actuator, actuator linkage, and throttle shaft for free smooth
motion without slop. Verify that the actuator is opening the throttle while
cranking.
18. Check the engine ignition system:
a. Verify that the spark plug leads are fully installed on the spark plugs.
Reconnect them if necessary.
b. Inspect the spark plug leads. Replace worn or damaged leads.
