Embedded processor memory error. The genset processor runs a periodic sum of all instruction memory space and compares it to a known value "check sum". Your unit has failed this test which means processor instruction space is potentially corrupted. This is a fatal error and it will not allow the genset to run until it is corrected. Likely this will require replacing the control board.

SOURCE: 10kw Generac shut down overspeed

Make sure that the throttle linkage is all there and not damaged/misadjusted, then get a manometer and check your inlet gas pressure. Gas pressure should be 8 inches of water column and stay there running or not.

SOURCE: Just returned from a trip

Hi Scott,

Since the generator starts but there is no power to the control board, there is an electrical problem inside the generator.
First check the circuit breaker at the back of your generator. If the breaker is on, then your generator is in serious trouble.
Call a repairman, but also keep in mind you may need a new generator.

Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate a 4 thumbs up. Thanks,

Handie Andie

SOURCE: How do I remove and oil seal from a generac 20 kw set

The flywheel side or the PTO side? In either case you need to disassemble the unit to get at the end and then use a hook to pull the seal out.

I have a toy hauler with a generac generator propane that wont start getting gas and spark but wont start model 04164-0

Check the comprssion, if you are sure you have a spark and gas. Is the fuel been delivered to the cylinders? Check the fuel solenoid for power, if power is present the demand gas regulator maybe gummed up. LP companies put a waxy lubricant in the gas and over time this can build up and harden in regulators. Also during crank observe the throttle is it going open as it should? if not suspect a control issue

I have a Generac 60kw generator. When it runs under load the generator surges, causing the lights to go up and down. The only way to stop this is if I reach into the generator and grab what I think is the...

You did not specify fuel. If running natural gas or propane, check the diameter of your feed line. You need at least 1/2 to 3/4 pipe diameter on the NG or propane. At 60KW I would guess at least 3/4 maybe larger for NG.

Generac 20,000kW Standby generator doesn't start shows message STOP ALARM OVERCRANKED

Overcrank means that it tried to start and couldn't. It will go through 5 crank cycles and then stop with this alarm. Switch to off, hit enter to clear fault and then try to start in manual. Check to make sure you have fuel and pressure is 11 to 14 in WC.
