I would echo those who say "electrical short" and/or water into the intake. Although, I'll offer that the latter is unlikely: diesel's don't care for ingesting water AT ALL! If you got enough in there to choke the engine, you'd most likely have some additional damage.
I'd look for a short caused by water seepage.

There weren't many comments about this symptom, which seems pretty relevant. It's worth checking how the gen (I assume it's diesel) is connected to the fuel line/fuel tank. I've seen them wired into a "T" in the main feed line. This reduces fuel pressure when the gen is running and can cause air to get pulled into the line.
The gen should be connected to a separate feed from the tank - not the same feed that supplies the engine. This would be unusual(a "T" install), but occasionally it's done if the second tank feed has been damaged, or if multiple fuel tanks are installed and it's not necessary to prevent the gen from pulling all the fuel from the aux tank, which would leave you stranded if all fuel was pulled by the gen from a single main tank.

Every so often the check engine light would come on and the tach would get real jumpy and I would loose power.
