genset tripping off
Rose mary,
Does you generator battery have a full charge? I had a similar problem once only to find out the battery had enough voltage to start the generator, but not enough to keep the fuel solenoid operating.

I have had the coach plugged in to 50 amp and had heat on so nothing would freeze in the weather we've had. Bird fired right up and is running smoothly as I write this. The genset didn't want to start, the reset button was tripped. Pushed it in and it took off and ran smoothly for about a minute. It doesn't seem to matter if it is on the gen setting (on the switch by the step) or not. It will start right up, sound fine for about a minute, then trip off. The water, and oil are fine. It doesn't seem to move the needles on the galley monitor when it is running and I hurry in to check, after turning it to the gen position.... When it is on the 50 amp shore the needles are fine. Thanks for you help, I'll be looking in archives. Mom & I were hoping to go on a jaunt week after next....grrr... Rose Mary 82 FC 33 <!-- |**|begin egp html banner|**| --> SPONSORED LINKS
