Here are some common troubleshooting steps to help you identify and potentially resolve the problem:
Fuel Supply:
Check the LP (propane) fuel supply. Ensure that there is enough propane in the tank.
Check for any obstructions or kinks in the fuel line.
Air Intake and Exhaust:
Make sure the air intake and exhaust are not blocked. Lack of proper ventilation can cause the generator to shut down.
Choke Position:
Check the position of the choke. If it's set to "Choke" for starting, make sure to gradually move it to the "Run" position once the generator has started.
Fault Codes or Indicator Lights:
Look for any fault codes or indicator lights on the generator control panel. These can provide clues about specific issues.
Oil Level:
Check the oil level in the generator. Some generators have a safety feature that shuts them down if the oil level is too low.
Spark Plug:
Inspect the spark plug for fouling or damage. If needed, clean or replace the spark plug.
Fuel System Issues:
Inspect the fuel system for any leaks or issues. LP generators may have a fuel filter that needs to be checked and, if necessary, replaced.
Carburetor:
The carburetor may need cleaning or adjustment. If it's clogged, it can lead to stalling issues.
Battery Voltage:
Ensure that the generator's battery has sufficient voltage. A weak or dead battery can affect the starting process.
Generator Load:
If the generator is under a heavy load, it may shut down. Try starting it without any load and then gradually add loads.

Engines only need 3 things to run
Fuel (is it fresh, carb clean, jets clear)
Compression (test with compression gauge)
A spark at the right time (remove plug, ground it, check for spark)

rF Con means there is no RF connection.
Try this;
* Press the Back arrow on the keypad - this step is to refresh the UIU ( the device)
* Type # 75 # - this is to check the signal strength
If it does not go back to the normal display
*Type # 80 # - this is to refresh the meter
Then lastly you can repair the meter and the UIU by # 36 #
The above steps will work better if you are outside the house because the meters uses the radio frequency connection
The above error will occur in instances of bad weather conditions or if there is load shedding or power failure
If the problem persists after trying the above you may contact the municipality or the service provider."

Thar sort of information is never available especially on such a vintage machine, and you don't tell 'why'?
You would measure the diameter with an internal Vernier gauge or external on the male connector and then use a thread gauge for the thread pitch.
Or you buy a new tank or a new tap.
