Hi Gang,
Had a power outage recently (Jan 1) and used our Troybilt Portable
Generator (with a Briggs & Stratton engine) so we didn't lose the stuff
in out freezer. So a few hours into the outage, we were going to bed
and could hear the generator cranking away. An hour or 2 later, I
heard the engine note change to a higher pitched noise, then within 10
seconds it abruptly turned off. Hoping it was low on fuel or the low
oil switch had caused the engine to shutdown, we checked both, but
unfortunately, neither was the problem. One possibility is the Low Oil
Level Switch may have malfunctioned. Looking at the wiring diagram I
see a little black box with a couple of wires. I'd like to test that
black box somehow (if I can find it) but I'm not sure how to do that.
Do I test the resistance? Continuity? Something else?
The generator only has about 6 hours on it, but we bought it in
2012 so it's long out of Warranty. I'm not even sure what that box
does. The information stuff that came with the Generator was a bit
weak. It came with a Owners Manual which basically told how to run it.
Then the usual warranty info, but that's about it.
All the electronics that has crept into our lives is great as long
as it works. When it stops, it's a bitch!
