Since I had some yardwork to do I went ahead and started the gen with AC. Ran 45 minutes then started surging and finally quit.
Let it sit 15 minutes and started it again. Fired right up. Didn't have to crank like it was out of fuel.
Turned on the AC as low as it would go so it wouldn't cycle.
1 1/2 hours later and it is still running smooth.
Didn't want to go out again so I shut it off.
It might be heat related because the temp dropped about 10 degrees since I started.
Maybe the next hot day I'll try it again.
And then again maybe I'll just wait and see what happens next time.
I will still run some seafoam thru it and see if it helps.
And change the plug and filter.
I am sure you can see dropping the gen is a last resort.
Since it wobbled so long before it finally quit I am wondering if maybe it could be the governor ???
