I am troubleshooting a 6kw EcoGen LP gas generator in my neighborhood that starts quickly • but immediately shuts down with an “Under Voltage” shutdown alarm • I can clear shutdown alarm and restart with same result. I tried this a few times with same result. One of the start attempts included a back fire before shutting down. • Generator was recently run successfully for a few hours during a cold snap. Started after several attempts at -10 F. • According to the EcoGen manual this Under Voltage alarm is triggered “If the generator voltage falls below 85% of nominal for more than 15 seconds”. This definitely isn’t happening as the generator starts as usual but shuts down within one or two seconds. I will check for fouled spark plugs tomorrow. Anything else that might be the problem?
