I have the same generator on a 250 gal underground propane tank and have had no problems other than the motor mount base on the left side looking down are rusitng out. Runs every week for 10 min on exercise mode for years. Last big maintenance was in 2019. It actually ran for 9 days after Hurridacane IAN the fall of 2022 no problems. One issue I've had is changing the oil and I can't tell if I've under/overfilled it becuase the oil is so clean....
Is there an alternator on this? I have a 13k watt, same style as this and the battery keeps draining every month. Brand new battery, so I feel like it's an alternator issue or trickle charger. Can't seem to see anything, so figured I'd ask the internet for help!
I didn’t install a smart panel as you did. I just installed a 200 amp ATF switch. the 20 kw was enough to run a house with all gas appliances. I made the mistake of changing out the factory 90 amp breaker at the generator with a 125 amp. So when I overloaded it trying the run the older air compressor, it went passed the 125 beaker and the CTB and shorted the windings in my alternator. How it got passed the CTB and to the alternator ?
I have a 16kw guardian like this one with hard starting. I think it needs a valve lash adjustment and also some intake gaskets. not sure what you did to yours but mine is of the same era/age and has low hours.
Intake air leak, vacuum is what opens the fuel valve, te valve itself, low battery, low cranking speed,, spark plugs, ask ChatGPT! Would love to hear if he helped,,
Are you letting it run for 10 min every week? Exercise mode reminds me every week to take out the gargabe for pickuk the next day. When you need it is not the time to troubleshoot it. After Huriane IAN, we switched over to a 10K gas generator, not becuase the generator failed, but becuase we didn't reliably know how much fuel was left and our neightborts were hooked up to us to run Cpaps...

I can connect a natural gas watchdog generator to propain gas

Is that one LP or NG? Do you know how to convert from LP toNH? We switched over to NG and can not find on how to change it back…
I have a 16000 watt genrac propane generator that won't start without stating fluid. Do you know what would cause this issue?
