SOURCE: rpm surge with intermediate power load

The problem is the governor and is easily fixed. Do the following: Remove back and side panels to expose fuel tank. Insert screwdriver into fuel on/off switch on front panel and remove. Now remove top panel. To do this unscrew fuel cap, pull out fuel spill surround rubber and remove top panel, just pull gently. Now with fuel tank exposed, remove retaining bolts. Gently lift tank and rest on frame. No need to disconnect fuel line.On top of carby is the governor, protected in a black plastic shield. Unscrew the retaining screws that hold it to the carby. Remove electrical connection and then remove governor from carby. Now remove cover by pressing on the three retaining plastic clips and prize upwards. Now the solenoid is exposed. Remove solenoid from its base by unscrewing the two retaining screws. Now that the solenoid is fully exposed use an spray on electrical cleaner that can be used on circuit boards. Spray the base of the solenoid in particular the spindle. Whilst spraying the spindle rotate it a few times until it moves freely. Then replace everthing in reverse order. Where the spindle exits the solenoid dust particles collect and increase the friction between the two surfaces. If you do not want to proceed as outlined tell your dealer it is the solenoid and have it fixed under warranty.

Why is it surging under load?

Yep - the carb needs to be removed and cleaned out thoroughly to remove the clogging responsible for the surging. Motor needs a smooth supply of gas - look at what your car does when you jerk around with the gas pedal. Also check the governor area of generator since that keeps motor running at a certain fixed speed. If there is something wrong with it, that will also cause the problemo.

Why does my Yamaha ytm200 trike surge and blow back through the carb at idle speed?

What year is it?? Sounds like a low speed lean AF ratio condition.

Generator will only run on choke

Most likely, the carburetor needs cleaning.
There are two main jets powering your Yamaha, the pilot, or sometimes called the idle jet, and the main jet. If the pilot jet is clogged, the main jet will take on the load, and the governor will modulate the carburetor to keep it running, causing the surging problem. Likely, the problem is less, or even nonexistent if the choke is on, or the generator is under load.
Search the web for help on cleaning this pilot/idle jet.

I have an Ef3000iseb runs great here at or about 5000 ft. go up in the mountains it starts loading up and wont run. is there a higher altitude kit?

Yes thats true
there is high altitude re jetting in the carburator your carb has to be re jetted for the normal operation of the generator at high altitudes by the authorised personel but when you will bring it back again at the orignal altitude it will get heated quickly and may not function properly so you will have to bring the carb settings to its orignal position so be careful

My EF2400iS surges under low loads. Seems to smooth out with larger load. Any suggestions? Throttle motor or control box?

Idle speed screw may need adjusting slightly to increase idle speed. Also Main jet and Idle mixture Screws may also be out of adjustment

Yamaha EF1000 Will only idle and produce 12VAC

My guess would be that some failsafe is in action here. It is possible that either a fuse OR the breaker is bad, or is not resetting in the case of the breaker button. Yamaha likes to idiot proof these things. Some of them disable the sparkplug if the oil gets low. Forget about just a warning light.

Low voltage

Most generators use a flyball type governor within the engine to control rpm; also there is a voltage regulator that tries to maintain voltage at about 115v. The voltage regulator varies the voltage to the armature increasing /adjusting magnetic force. Use a meter with htz or freq setting to adjust engine governor to 60 cycles. When the generator is producing 60 cycles, the engine should be turning 3600 rpm, max power range. At 3600 rpm the voltage should be 115 to 120 volts. Loading the generator will cause governor to try to maintain 3600 rpm. Check engine manual for proper adjustment of gonvernor and linkage. The governor mech should last the life of the engine, however governor system does wear out. Expensive repair. enjoy

Coleman generator OHV3000

The carburetor is probably clogged up. Mix a bottle of carburetor cleaner with the gas to see if that would help. Also check/replace the fuel filter.
