My stupid phone logged me out after writing a detailed post...so here’s the shortened round 2 version.
The PO of our boat never ran the generator. We have owned it for 6 months and I got it running after changing the plugs.
I run it under a load every time we at the Boat. It starts and runs great every time. We even ran it for about 12 hrs just 2 months ago. The other day we ran it under load and after about 30 minutes it started to surge. Hearing it struggle, I leaped into action and killed the heat unloading the generator. Didn’t help. It unloaded, then kept surging until it died just seconds later. Wouldn’t refire. About 45 minutes later it fired back up and held a load.
The next day while in the slip I fired it back up and ran it under load trying to see if it would do it again. Once again it ran great until about 30 minutes, then started surging and died. This time it wouldn’t refire even hours later. Plugs are probably fouled. Any ideas?
