The engine throttle control is out of adjustment. It needs to be set based on the generator frequency
(60 Hz).

Generac over-speed fault

check your frequency of the ac, if this is high, then adjust the rpms.
If that is fine and it is shutting down, check overspeed adjustment on control board if it has it.

=1995 volvo road tractor symptom [engine shuts down] code; active,engin e, intake,air,tmp,short,+v

I recently came across a similar situation in a isuzu that took some time to diagnose. What if eventually turned out to be one injector had an intermittent failure and it too out 2 other injectors and the engine shut down. If the vehicle sat for 1/2 hour it restarted and ran again for sometimes days before the fault again appeared. It was tracked down by running the truck on a chassis dyno under load and when the fault appeared each injector was disconnected until the faulty one was revealed. If these symptoms parallel yours I suggest you point the mechanic in that direction .

Generac Guardian 12 KW Model 04456-2 shuts down on overspeed in cold weather

Leigh,
See my 5/22/12 comments on my "overspeed fault" problem resolution [Generac 43903 standby Generator overspeed indicator on starting] . If it only runs for a few seconds and then quits, you may have a similar condition to the one my unit had. A good technician should be able to diagnose the problem and determine if you have a similar failure to the one I had, or one of the other causes suggested by RSG000.

My 18RESL Kohler Propane Generator ran for 8.5 hours and shut down for overspeed. later it started up again and shut down for under frequency. Now it won't even turn over. Where do I start. I checked...

You have to reset it because it locked out on on under frequency. Just pullout the fuse on the control panel and then reinstall it a couple of seconds later. Now it will reset the fault codes. Hope that helps.

Own 2005 27.5' Wildwood Trailer with a Dometic a/c ducted unit. Last few times out it freezes up initially first few times (pocked circuit breaker once then I turned it off after few minutes second time)....

Don't block off any ceiling ducts and see what happens. If you've closed off any forced air ducts, the unit will freeze up, if too many are closed off. Also, if you shut unit off (compressor) give it 5 or 10 minutes before you turn it back on.

1995 Ford Thuderbird

Depending on which type of carburetta this car has, it may be that the rubber diaphram has a tiny pinprick of a hole in it. This will affect the vacumn and the fuel control. An easy way to test this is to allow the car to rest without the engine running for a few minutes, start the engine an increase the power whilst at a standstill and see how long it takes before the engine shuts down, then let it rest again for a few minutes, start the engine and let it run just on tick over, if it carries on running for a much longer period than before then you may have the answer.
Hope this helps Bomber667
