produce power, or power is too low.
Item # GEN4000 Portable Gasoline Generator
Governor screw needs adjusting. Plug in voltmeter on VAC. See what the volts
are. The reading should be 110 to 120. If it is
too high or too low, adjust the governor screw,
which is located above the pull start (on the
green metal shroud). WARNING – DO NOT
ADJUST THE GOVERNOR SCREW
WITHOUT USING A VOLTMETER. ONLY
ATTEMPT THIS IF YOU HAVE A
VOLTMETER AND ARE FAMILIAR WITH
USING IT. IT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO
PERSONAL PROPERTY. Turn it clockwise to
turn volts up and kick the idle up. You may
have to compensate for the increased idle from
the governor screw with the idle screw.
