Generac im-52-g generator

Model# 9462-0
Serial# 1161115
This is in an rv. Was running fine driving a roof top a/c unit and suddenly shut down. Tried to restart but would not stay running unless I held the start button on.
Good girl pressure, lots of oil, sitting level , New low pressure oil switch. Out of guesses!!
Anybody out there help?? Please!!!!!!

What is "Good girl pressure"?

 

[rbeesley1]

I hate this tablet spell correct thing. Supposed to be fuel pressure.

measure the AC output. No/low volts=no run. need to know what the volts out are.

Excuse my ignorance but how would I go about doing that if it won't run?

How do I do that when it won't run?? I think I may be in over my head!! Very limited knowledge about what I am doing!!!!!

Press the start button and hold it. When the engine starts running continue to hold the start button while someone else measures the AC voltage. Perform this test quickly.

Ok so I am stupid!how and where do I measure the a/c voltage. I am a good mechanic but no electrician!

 

[pegasuspinto]

An outlet, at the panel, pull the generator apart and back of the breaker, something like that. It's not always easy and quick but the actual volts out can tell a lot about what is wrong.

I got 118 volts at the rear outside outlet than I tried it again and got nothing

Is the RV plugged in? Need to make sure you were not just reading the utility. Does your RV use a automatic or a manual switch to go from shore to gen? Unplug it either way.

Need to get consistent measurement on the AC output.
