I recently had a frustrating generator trouble shoot that was similar,
turned out to be a dirty air filter of all things. Easy fix, but took a
couple of hours to come to that conclusion.......

Can the programming change on its own? I shut it off after it ran two days ago

away and no footprints in new snow.

Check to see if it’s programming matches its wired and expected voltage output
configuration.

I am troubleshooting a 6kw EcoGen LP gas generator in my neighborhood that
starts quickly
• but immediately shuts down with an “Under Voltage” shutdown alarm
• I can clear shutdown alarm and restart with same result. I tried this a few
times with same result. One of the start attempts included a back fire before
shutting down.
• Generator was recently run successfully for a few hours during a cold snap.
Started after several attempts at -10 F.
• According to the EcoGen manual this Under Voltage alarm is triggered “If the
generator voltage falls below 85% of nominal for more than 15 seconds”. This
definitely isn’t happening as the generator starts as usual but shuts down
within one or two seconds.
I will check for fouled spark plugs tomorrow. Anything else that might be the
problem?
