Still no power after Irma...
started my generator today and it was surging fairly badly. I used it on our trip a week ago and it ran fine till I was heading to the lot to store it it surged a bit, but nothing alarming.
Anyway....after a couple minutes of hoping it would calm down today, I opened up the cowling, I could see what I assume was the spring loaded governor rod actuating with the surges. If I held it the genny would nearly stall.
Last ditch grab for something to try, I adjusted the altitude adjustment screw to it's highest altitude setting. Immediately it smoothed out. I let it run there for about a minute then set it back down to sea level. Ran smooth for several hours
odd right? Oh well I'm not arguing with it..... but do you have any thoughts?
