Onan gen stalls on rough roads?
This is a weird one. 5 kW model HGJAB, that's the carbureted one. Gasoline. Runs perfect in camp or on smooth roads. Occasionally stalls or (I think) stumbles only when on a rough road e.g. construction areas. Code 36 which is engine stopped without command from controller.
I say I think it stumbles at times without stopping completely because the UPS beeps as it does when the main transfer switch engages.
Always cranks right back up. Checked plug wires and air filter per manual. Nothing found. I am leaning toward either a carb float problem or a loose wire.
Theories? Thanks in advance for your advice.
Further info; 1 year in service and about 180 hours. Regularly exercised, fuel stabilized etc.
