Sounds like the generator unit (sometimes called the generator head) has overheated and melted the insulation in the windings. This is the same as an electric motor "burning out", and if this is the case, then the generator is toast. If you happened to notice that the lights or fans were getting dim or slowing down before the breaker tripped (without the gas engine slowing down) then this is most likely the case and you generator is toast. But if the output just suddenly quit, then it is possible that some smaller electrical component has failed. In any case, it's not something external that you can easily reset or replace. Sorry for the bad news.

Easy enough.. here is link:

Good luck with it and let us know if you nned more specific help

Thanks

there should be a return spring on gov...some where u might be looking for just a loop where iy should hook

Your generators take ordinary 10W30 motor oil.
We use these things on the job.
Don't turn engine upside down or on its side to drain oil, or oil will run into carburetor

they have reset buttons usuall black push to reset

Sounds like you have something caught in the guide causing it to jam a lil.

These guns are allmost disposable and have a short life span.
