My generator starts and runs with a load for about 10 - 15 minutes then quits.
Any thoughts??
Thanks

Fuel tank in MH just at 1/4 tank, bad filter, bad pump, bad pickup, dirt in needle valve in carb, overloading generator,(too many appliances running) bad transfer switch, clogged tailpipe (spark arrestor), thermal cutout going off on safety.

Could be any of those. If the RV is new, (which I see it's a 2008) take to dealer. Should be under warranty.

Thanks - that is the plan, but I like to try to fix small stuff myself.
I will take to dealer.

John, give us a reply here when it's fixed. I'm curious what they say was wrong.

I took mine to the dealer when it did the same thing during hot weather running the a/c. They couldn't duplicate the problem but it never quit by itself again after that. Thanks, Admiral

Rollincool- thanks for the list. We just bought a 2005 Rexhall with a Generac 55G with 66 hours and it does the same thing. Had trouble getting gas so changed the filter and still does it. I put a squeeze bulb in the fuel line to prime the line and that seemed to help in the driveway but now on a trip it still dies every time AND sometimes the 7.5 amp fuse on the control panel blows killing the engine.
What does that mean?
Otherwise, will start on the other items on the list. I under stand the low oil pressure switch can do it too. But the fuse??!!
