I'll check that, thanks for the suggestion! -- Carl

Ok, got some more data today... Ran with an 80% load for about 15 minutes before it shut down with the same behavior as before: the rpms rapidly drop and the unit comes to a stop with the oil pressure light on. While it was running I monitored the temperature at the fitting for the top radiator...

Looks like it.

Hmm, good question. Will check it next time I pull the tarp. Does that one have known issues? -- Carl

Thanks, good suggestions. I'm working towards giving it a few hour continuous run. -- Carl

Yep, starts right back up. It gets a low oil pressure light but I think that's because the engine is being dragged down to a stop. I've checked the oil pressure with an analog guage and it's fine. Reading the technical manual, it looks like when you get overload or over voltage lights that the...

I did a little more testing, it was a volt or two high at the lugs. Voltage on both lugs is stable under load. Tried to repeat the overload test result but getting different behavior now. The unit hangs in there with the load for a while, then begins to lose rpms and shuts down. I could have...

I'm looking at a Kill A Watt plugged into the convenience outlet, and the control panel voltmeter agrees, but I didn't check the lugs with a multimeter, will add that to the "next time" list. -- Carl

Got a coil top stove and have been using it to load my system. First time it has had anything other than convenience outlet exercise. It was originally dropping out around 32A@240V. The AC interrupter light would go out and the engine would be back to running at no-load speed. After cleaning...
