Dirty carb and/or fuel pump.

DO you exercise gen monthly?

Do you use any Stabil or SeaFoam additive to gen fuel?

Code 36 is an uncommanded shut down. This means the genset control did not detect any fault, the genset just stopped.

Usually this means fuel, but can be caused by carb issues, plugged air cleaner, bad plugs, magnetos or anything that would cause an engine to die.

Check your fuel first.
