The other day I was exercising the generator and testing for a random shutoff condition. I was going to be working in the front two bays for awhile, so I would be close by to pay attention to it when it shut off. I have a 20KW Kubota
The Genny started fine within two crank cycles and ran smooth. I ran an ac to put an 8amp load on it. No issues for about 2 hours. Then, I could hear it start to run a little rough, maybe 30 seconds for me to recognize it, started to run a little rougher, I went inside to look at the gauges, Temp good at 180, oi pressure good and it died. Tried to restart and no go. Genny was serviced last August. An hour later, the Genny started right up, ran fine.
So my questions are:
Is there a Owners manual for these things or a service manual?
From a few threads I read, It could be Low coolant, or a fuel shut off solenoid? How do I test this solenoid?
Other suggestions?
I know very little of diesels, but can certainly turn a wrench.
