Is there a brand.... on your current spark plug?

Most generators will do just fine with an NGK BPR5ES spark plug in most any environment.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,

valves not opening properly

look for a reset button, either on the generator or on the dash with the recepticals. my 5700 has fuses there also

Sounds like you may have a wire shorting out. Check all ign wires and make sure one hasnt rubbed through. Maybe take off your front cover and make sure something isnt shorting out your coil contacts. Hope this helps

Hi,
Check the valve clearances with a feeler guage. Over time the valve lash adjustment vibrates a little looser than we want and the engine gets hard to start, runs rough, etc. After the engine warms up the heat makes the valve tappets expand enough to make the engine smooth out.

Regards,
Carl

Sounds like your choke is not closed correctly when you first start the genset. Remove the air filter and look at the throttle plate. It should be closed with a hair line gap. With your finger you should feel very little play on the throttle plate. As you open the choke, you should be able to open it all the way once the engine has reached a hotter temperature. If the engine is still cold and your opening the choke all the way, it will try to die out.
