Thanks- I do have the prime feature so tried the test you all suggest. The pump priming is a much quieter, softer and regular clicking sound I am hearing.
I primed for about 30 seconds. (again a much softer and far more quieter and normal-regular clicking sound)then decided to fire the unit up and run it under load for a while.
I never heard the sound in question until the unit got warm- about 8-10 minutes. Then it started intermittently and would click loudly for- without a rhythm - about 20 seconds then quit for 2 minutes then start again. The sound seems to emanate near the solenoid (??) and the electronic box area at the front on the floor of the gen set chassis. I could not isolate it.
The unit ran perfectly and has not even a hiccup. But The clicking sound remains.
I appreciate your help.
