I wonder at what load levels this "hunting " occurs
No load, 300 watts, 600, 150??
My throttle hunts constantly at no load idle. At light load it seems to stabilize, but again under moderate load it runs steady but occasionally burps as if something hard came online...but nothing is - all it was powering at the time was my electronic 25A charger connected straight to my golf cart batteries.
I've put about 60-80 hours on mine in the last few weeks - a lot of dry camping requiring a lot of battery charging. Frankly, I'm still rather disappointed with the throttle hunting issues - it's really hard for the drone of the generator to blend into the background noise when every 15-30 seconds it burps under load. Worse yet, as my batteries charge and the load reduces (my charger reduces the amps as the batteries approach full charge) the generator eventually reaches almost idle and then wanders all over the place. Irritating given this is when it should be at it's quietest while the battery charger drops into float mode, but the generator is bringing all sorts of attention to itself.
You have since posted that CPE has made you a happy camper in regard to this problem. Several, including myself, have asked what the CPE solution was that changed your opinion of the generator. Any response?
