I changed the pump and cleaned the carb. The generator started right up but would just barely pull both AC's (110V). So I adjusted the leakage. Not knowing how to do it a increase the tension on the spring then adjusted the carb leakage until I had 126 volts as per the manual. Well surprise when I turned on one AC, the voltage went up to 128V (12amps load). I then turned on the second AC an the voltage dropped to 122(25 amps). I then turned on the hot water heater 120V(37 amps). I then adjusted it again. It runs at 121V(12amps), 118V(25amps) and 114V(37amps). Is this about right setting???
I only have a 40 amp breaker so I will not run at 37 amps for more than short times. The 50 amp breaker would not handle 37 amps so I changed it. The generator has been running for 3 hours with a 25 amp load.
