The other day I had to use my generator as the park power was scheduled to be down for a couple hours. Since it was in the 90's I fired up generator to keep it "cooler" inside for the power outage.
Started up and everything was running inside, Good to go.
I had both AC's on for a decent load I would assume, but after about five minutes the generator started to surge in rpms. Quite noticeable.
I know voltage output is dependent upon rpms and did not want to run the AC units in low voltage.
I started it back up a few minutes later and it started to surge again. Kind of like the smaller generators with no load.
Is there a governor adjustment to limit the down side of the throttle to smooth it out?
The generator only has about 14 hours total use since '12.
I have a tach to set the rpms if needed.
Any suggestions?
Thank in advance!
