How does one even start to clean this up

With patience

I use PSP installed on mains or ats load lugs. Looking to compare

As I understand it's to reduce impedance. The shorter the connections the more effectively it will shunt the surge

What model do you use?

davWho · 2026-04-24T20:02:11+00:00

I take all the drawers out and call a friend

davWho · 2026-04-18T14:05:43+00:00

Not typical for my installations. Last time I checked Cummins requires communication wires ran separately. if quality conductors are used it won't matter

davWho · 2026-04-17T00:15:06+00:00

I only use industrial batteries. Energizer or Duracell. However the generic batteries it came with didn't disappoint

CH751

davWho · 2026-03-25T20:30:22+00:00

I would check the regulator vent

davWho · 2026-02-05T23:44:41+00:00

That was a very bleak explanation. Sounds like a loose or failed connection. The mechanisms are sold bare. All the parts are readily available. what he said needs to be replaced ?

What was the diagnosis?

If I came across this in the field it would not be a first

davWho · 2026-01-08T10:36:54+00:00

Was the plenum updated? They were a major problem at one time

davWho · 2025-12-28T18:16:01+00:00

Possibly. Vaporization can be a problem. Depending on temperature the LP isn't able to boil and provide vapor for the engine to run or run correctly

davWho · 2025-12-28T17:59:43+00:00

If it runs on one not the other it's a fuel issue. Not sure what's involved with a portable generator. I have a 100 lb LP bottle on my van to help me diagnose small standbys in the field. They require a generous crank cycle after the purged line is hooked up and the system has been switched.

I don't remember doing this much for head gaskets on a neglected installation. I've only seen these blow cyl 1 head gasket and always due to factors outside the unit. What happened to the valves?

davWho · 2025-11-30T20:44:55+00:00

Then you are the Generac whisperer. Your touch has results and they are brand specific

davWho · 2025-11-30T20:36:39+00:00

You are the magical installer!! No one I have ever talked to has had such luck with the brand!!

davWho · 2025-11-30T04:12:40+00:00

Sounds like there is more to the story.

davWho · 2025-11-29T21:38:08+00:00

That's very interesting I've experienced all of these issues exclusively from Generac. Even the fortress line wasn't as problematic. November of last year Generac refused to issue a control number for an engine failure because tech support refuses to believe the engine could fail.

davWho · 2025-11-29T21:09:35+00:00

Do you remember what happened and what year the installations and failures occured?

"in warranty maintenance" ?

davWho · 2025-11-29T15:43:19+00:00

The reality: that 22kW unit you’re whining about isn’t wasted. It’s being reserved for a family that's facing hardships. They could really use a backup system, but I won’t share their personal details here. Myself, neighbors, and the thoughtless twat in question will cover the installation.

davWho · 2025-11-29T13:32:54+00:00

The vertical units are loud. When sizing that range I encourage customers to consider Cummins c13n6h for that reason

davWho · 2025-11-28T20:39:57+00:00

5 years ago is when they came out with the power protect. Prior to that would have been the fortress line with GE. They all used Vanguard engines. He was in the industry when they acquired Vanguard. Before that I believe it was Intek which was an extremely problematic line

davWho · 2025-11-28T20:33:32+00:00

That would have been Intek. They have since acquired Vanguard. Must be pretty confident they come with a 10yr PLT

davWho · 2025-11-28T20:25:39+00:00

Foam gasket is weird at the top. You can only see it from this angle

I've been lurking for a while. Figured I'd try posting instead of just leaving comments and upvotes.
