Hi everyone, I have not been on for quite some time, too busy I guess.
Anyway, I was running the generator the other day and on a light load the frequency meter started jumping from 60 hz to almost pegging the meter. The motor did not sound like it was changing rpm. So First question is what can cause this?
Then yesterday I started it again, the same HZ issue happening. As I looked around the unit I saw fuel dripping. It was coming from the fitting near the oil pressure gauge near the gen set and it looked like It might be dripping from the fitting at the injector pump. Its not a stream but every 2-3 seconds a drop is there. These are the original hoses. Can a leaking hose cause the the engine to fluctuate? I need to replace the hoses, what are you using for hose replacement, Just a rubber fuel line,
the braided poly type fuel lines or metal? Any sources you have found cheaper than others?
Thanks for your help, As always the site and its members are Great.
May you all have a Merry Christmas.
