My buddy has a generator (dont know what kind, size etc) and he said it is shutting off after a short period of use. Doesnt matter how much load its carrying although its usually just a set of tire warmers. Anyone have an idea of what might be causing this? I know its pretty vague but any help will be appreciated.

This may be stating the obvious, but has he checked the oil level? Some generators have a low oil shutoff feature.

When it runs, does it run rough? Maybe it's an air filter/clogged jet in the carb type issue :idunno:

Ok more details from him.....it seems that the breaker is tripping. Plenty of oil in it and the motor seems to run fine. The good news is that he found a fellow that works for a generator repair place. Seems that my buddy's son routinely spanks this fellow in the mini-motard races.
