Shutdowns as you describe are usually due to one of the systems on the generator not properly set, etc. So does it run fine if you have it set to the higher elevation on the carburetor? Did the dealer tell you to run the generator once a month for two hours under load? This keeps the carburetor from getting gummed up. We were also told that the carburetors are no longer rebuilt, they get replaced... meaning $$$$. Mine gets run the first of every month, without fail. Just curious what you are running, appliance wise, amp wise, etc., when you are running the generator. Circuit breakers will be thrown if you run A/C and the microwave at the same time. Not sure that would make your generator shut down. Anyone else have some ideas?
