Minor seepage at fittings, Overrich fuel mixture, Venting from fuel tank cap, Exhaust leak near intake
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure good ventilation and keep flames and sparks away. Turn OFF the generator before inspection.
- Inspect all fuel connections: Run your fingers (with gloves) along hoses and fittings to detect dampness. Tighten or reseal as needed.
- Check tank cap and vent: Ensure the Hyundai Power fuel cap is sealing properly and that the vent is not stuck open.
- Evaluate mixture (gas units): Black exhaust smoke or soot indicates a rich mixture. Inspect the carburetor or gas regulator for correct adjustment.
- Exhaust leaks: Look for cracks or loose joints in the exhaust system that could allow fumes to enter the enclosure.
