Kubota diesal engine 1505 is hooked to to a 20kw generator. When put under load of 1000 amps the engine speed drops off and hertz go douwn 4, add another 1000 amps and it drops off another 4 hertz. Fuel system seems to be working fine. New selinoed for injection pump. The finger inside the pump is moving ok with small amount of presure and returns easily. Engine runs smooth and well. Seems like it is an issue with the govenor to me.

If it is a governor issue then the fix will be done at a diesel specialist shop and the pump recalibrated to max fuel delivery at governed rpms
what could be an issue is the injection point and the degrees advanced that point is occurring
check the timing and set the pump to inject on that injection point
again if it is a rotary pump ( pipes out the back like a distributor cap) the timing is achieved by a special tool inserted into the front section of the pump and will require the services of a diesel specialist
consult with a service agent for Kubota or a specialist diesel shop in the area check and adjust the valve clearance to specifications

SOURCE: Engine speed throbs

Unscrew the screw on the bottom of the carb until is runs right, if their isn't one use the lowest adjustment screw on the carb.

SOURCE: 1980 VW rabbit, manual/fuel injection: I am

it starts from cold because the auto choke is on ,allowing a richer mixture ,try removing the sender unit in the tank and seeing if the connection from the pump to the outlet connection is ok or leaking causing a loss of fuel pressure

SOURCE: tractor moves but buck and learches

If it is a hydrostatic transaxle check to see if it is leaking,if it is then there really is no economical repair to transaxle. If it isn't leaking then It sounds like the oil in transaxle is degraded.The transaxle is supposed to be a sealed unit requiring no service but over time the oil will get dirty enough to cause problems like you are describing.Remove the back hitch plate and look at the transaxle it will have a rubber vent hose or a 1/4 Allen wrench fitting on top. You will need to purchase a battery suction bulb from sears automotive and use it to remove as much oil from transaxle as possible. Warm the transaxle up first by running it around,then suction the oil out.Refill with a good synthetic motor oil 15w-50 or 20w-50 like Amsoil or Mobil 1.Do not use transmission fluid or hydraulic fluid. When adding the new oil back fill it to within 1.5 in from the top,be sure to allow this amount of air space in top of transaxle for expansion.

SOURCE: engine shuts down when the clutch is released or

You have a safety switch not working or it may be not pluged in all the way. It could have happen while putting the deck back on by hitting the switch. May be on the clutch, deck, blade lever or seat.

Testimonial: "right on bargainbin2. it turned out to be the OPR relay. picked it up today and plugged it in. the tractor is running better than it has in months "

How do I fix my generator

the first thing that I can think of is your engine speed is to slow causing the frequency to be below 60 hz. At half the hertz 30hz the tool will run at half the speed and most likely burn out since most tools are not built to run at variable frequencies. A 4 pole generator (the norm) needs to run at 3600 RPMs under load. Unloaded they are set at 3750 RPMs since they'll slow down slightly under load. There are many throttle setups for small engines so I can't give you a step by step on adjusting the throttle arm on your machine without seeing it. Oh, just a thought, does it have auto-idle button. If so turn it off, for some reason it is not sensing the load. If you have a multimeter with frequency on it, you can use it to help set the rpms.

Have a McCulloch generator FG5700AK with a wenling jennfeng engine and am looking for the carburetor. Do you sale or know anyone who sales them? Thank you.

Ebay has the carb for under fifteen bucks. Want to add a note on calibration or recalibrating when replacing the carburetor. McCulloch FG6000 or FG5700, Wen, and many more use the same wenling jennfeng (wenling jenn feng) engine. On the FG6000, FG5700, and others, you'll see both an idle speed screw and an idle mixture needle valve on the carb. On top of the engine, you'll see the governor sensitivity spring tensioner screw top center of engine. First, loosen the governor spring tensioner screw until its loose with spring totally collapsed. With no load, adjust carb idle to 60hz-62hz using a multimeter. Now adjust the carburetor needle valve to the highest smoothest idle speed (highest possible hertz on the multimeter). Then readjust carb idles speed screw back to 60-62hz max, nothing higher. Finally, adjust the governor spring tensioner screw to calibrate governor sensitivity; loosen for less governing, tighten for more governing, and too tight will take away and defeat idle speed screw on carb. It's a delicate balance, takes some work, but when finished the generator should always maintain 60-62hz under any load condition.

Generator alarm underspeed

When you get the under speed alarm is the generator under load? Try manually starting the generator with no load and let it run for a while, if no alarm, then put it under your home load and measure current draw (maybe have an electrician check it) if the amp draw and in rush caused by compressors, pumps motors etc are within the generator rating, check your fuel pressure, on average 8-11 WC Nat gas. Pressure may test well under no load but drop starving the engine of fuel unde rload. Underspeed is just that engine cannot make RPM/Frequency

Kohler exercise causes engine spikes and gasping for fuel.

On exercise it isn't under load, you may have too much gas pressure, have the gas pressure and fuel/air ratio checked on the mixer

Generator has voltage drop, why?

Most of the small portable generators will depend on the engine speed to regulate the voltage. If the motor is at the correct speed you are getting 120 volts 60 hertz, if not it will read lower like 115 volts 55 hertz or so. This can be fixed by adjusting the governor, or idle speed needle.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_69f3cc28d95bf514

Model pm0525312.18 serial 914080230 engine runs good but the voltage drops of from about 125volts to 90 volts when you put on about 1500 watts. does this model have a voltage regulator? what is a bridge...

According to the parts pdf, there is no voltage regulator. Voltage is adjusted by the rpm of the engine. If your have a meter that reads hertz (Hz), you can set the engine rpm by adjusting hertz to 60 cycles (Hz). At 60 cycles the engine is running at about 3600 rpm. Most engines develop their max horsepower at this rpm. If you are loosing power/voltage and the engine speed is not dropping below 3600, than most likely could be problem with capacitor, brushes or diode (bridge diode). The diode converts ac voltage from stator to direct current to power the magnet (rotor). Check for brush wear and test capacitor for value printed on part. It should test with 5% of stated value. Diode can also be easily tested with meter. Good holidays

Ginne stalls under load

Likely that your governor has creeped out of tolerance. Very common with Emerald line of generators. Try to borrow, if not already have one, a multimeter that is able to read frequency and voltage. At no load, frequency should be 62 or 63 hertz. At full load, frequency is going to be around 57-58 hertz. Voltage at no load should be 127 or so, full load should drop down to around 115 give or take. Adjust governor for faster engine operation for low voltage / frequency, slow down for too fast frequency or high voltage (though that is likely not the case here).

Problem with Emeralds is that the governor spring rubs on bracket, and also has a tendency to stretch. If this is the case, adjusting governor will be near impossible between full and no load.

Powermate 5000

20kw means 20 KILOwatts (kilo=1000), so 20kw=20,000 watts
So the Powermate 5000 refers to wattage. 5000=5kw
