Re: Brand New Generator Hunts
#1   Feb 21, 2007 2:51 pm
Hi Nibbler,

thanks for you response, I 'll try to add some more info!

The genny is a Eastern Tools see here http://www.easterntools.com/product_detail.asp?ProductID=72

When I say "hunting" I mean that the Genny is using the auto choke by itself and when I plug in a light bulb to the output the light intermittently dims as the genny falters. It just can't seem to settle and revs constantly.

I don't know much more Generator or engine terminology than that I'm afraid!

many thanks

Brand New Generator Hunts
#2   Feb 21, 2007 12:32 pm
Hi

I recently bought a brand new 1200w generator and after prepping it for first time run (50 parts gas to 1 part oil), it started first time no problems. It generates power but after a run time of 2 hours to wear it in, the generator just can seem to settle and "hunts."

The second time I started it up, it run better than the first and did settle but then started "hunting" again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
