Remember the lowest bidder gets the work in the world of the government.

I could be wrong but I thought mine was green when I had a fault?

My k12 has a red led on when it runs ??

Ok here is a picture of the measurement. I hope this helps you .

I'm just getting back from a funeral . I'll get a measurement for you and report back.

My rod on mine had come loose on the spherical end and shortened by about 5/16 . I measured the other unit I have and re adjusted it and fixed my shut down issue.. I didn't have to make any adjustments to the governor side.

Your right. Money is tight at the moment. But it could always be worse. I'll add it to the project list LOL

Check to make sure both connectors going from gen head are plugged in good to the inverter. If that isn't it Id say you could have a burned up gen. I found out today on my second gen the governor linkage lock nut had backed off and I adjusted it to match my other 1. That's the good news. The...

Ok I checked mine its between 1/2 and 9/16 inch like my other 1. If I take it to a inch I'll have to shorten the rod. so I'm thinking the gap should be less.

Mine flopped around just like yours. After a good hr of running it settled down and the arm stuck to the magnet but didn't hunt anymore. But my RPM was much higher than my other unit.

That's the way mine was this am. I have seen them do that if you have the crank case too full of oil. Or you have air in your fuel system. After a hr of running mine got much smoother and stopped osolating.

I will give that a try thank you !!!!!

So to add information when the engine was running a good hour and smooth out it was running at speed and the governor arm was flat against the magnet and running strong.RPM sounded higher than my other unit.

Yes when it is in shut down position it running hard and strong !! It didn't even flinch when I flipped the switch off !

Any idea why it runs with the arm at speed flat against the magnet?

Ok it's running smoother. But the arm is solid on the magnet. Had to move the knob around to the stop position for it to turn off. So I'm thinking something Is out of adjustment? It's getting there lol

Ok for some odd reason this AM it started up and stayed running ? LOL the governor is hunting bad ! and the exhaust is really sooty but its running and making AC the engine from time to time winds up pretty high with the arm on the magnet ? like its running away. but then it drops back down. I...

Yes I saw there are 2 type sending units.1 for low fuel and the other for tank volume. The low fuel 1 on my gen was unscrewed and all but 1 screw was missing. So maybe that's telling me something.

Thank you Dewie !! I tried the reset push button but none of them light up ? Maybe I didn't depress it long enough? ? The low fuel 1 did light up last week. But reset . I'll check out k12 And report back !! Oh and when the RPM does drop the voltage goes to 0 that that explains that !!!!

Funny you mention that. When I first tried to start the Gen a week ago that light was on but the tank was full. I found they had removed the screws to the sending unit I thought because if getting to the the filler hose. Maybe it's bad? I did put another gallon and a half in it last night...
