Possible Causes
Ignition coil failing when hot, Vapor lock in fuel line, Blocked cooling fins, Faulty cylinder head temperature sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the generator to cool before touching engine components.
- Inspect cooling fins: Remove shrouds as needed and clean dirt from cylinder and head fins.
- Reroute fuel line: Ensure the fuel hose is not routed too close to the exhaust, which can cause vapor lock. Reroute or insulate if necessary.
- Test spark when hot: When the engine stalls, immediately check for spark. If none, the ignition coil is likely failing when hot and should be replaced.
Persistent heat‑related shutdowns may also involve the temperature sensor or control module and should be checked by a technician.
