Gentron 10,000W Generator with Electric Start - Gentron Questions & Answers
Gentron 10000w generator has a leaking carburator
Your carburetor float valve may be stuck open. You'll have to remove the carburetor, remove the sediment bowl at the bottom of the carburetor (where the float is), and check the float. Is it filled with gas? Replace the float if it is. If the float is dry inside, then remove the float and clean the needle valve & seat. (be careful to note how the float pin, linkage, spring, etc. are positioned so you properly reassemble. After cleaning & reassembling, turn the carburetor upside down & try blowing into the gas line connection on the carburetor. You shouldn't be able to blow air. Turn the carburetor right side up & repeat. If you can blow air into the carburetor's gas line connection, the float valve & seat are properly working. Reinstall the carburetor. You should be good to go.
Gentron gg3502d outlets have no power
First verify that the breaker for the outlets is not tripped and make sure that the generator is running at full operating speed. let it run for 5-10 minutes and check for output power. If there is nothing, there are two possible problems. One could be that the automatic voltage regulator is bad. The other is that the field needs to be flashed - a high possibility if the generator has not been run in a long time. There are many videos on the internet that show you how to solve both of these problems. Just do a search for No output from a portable power generator.
Outlets providing incorrect voltage
The Wiring for this unit was screwed up in manufacturing. reverse the lines from the 120 side and the 120v end of the 240 pole. that should resolve the issue and you should also find that if you trace the wires back to the source on the dynamo they will now match/Pair up properly. Make sure to mark the wires you are swapping carefully and test under no load before load testing the unit.
