Sounds like you have a carburetor issue. Maybe some plugged up metering jets due to varnish.

The ones we have are all TroyBilt-ish with Briggs engines. The UPS did switch to the generator when I lowered the choke ~10%. But it would not use the generator at full open and the generator sounded like it was bogging down.

If you have the option you could just crank the generator output voltage up enough to make the UPS happy. Note that is done by adjusting the excitation voltage, not the speed of the engine. Engine speed changes frequency. (All of this assumes a traditional generator, not a inverter style generator like the small Honda’s) ark > On Sep 21, 2020, at 10:22 AM, Josh Luthman <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> > wrote: > > So Friday we have another 3 phase go down in the building.
