Something else to worry about with generators
We went Kansas about two months ago in a lady's horse trailer with a older onan gen. It does have a fuel pump not gravity feed. We ran the gen all the way up and back the roads were really rough. Lot of bumps up and down .
The lady said her gen was running bad now so I looked at it when I opened the oil fill gas just ran everywhere. What I'm thinking is all that bouncing up and down that was doing the same thing to the float in the carb so it was filling the cylinders with gas. I still need to check the float for a hole in it and the float needle.
I do know this will happen with a gravity feed if you don't cut the gas off but I never thought about it while it was running.
