    Fired tgd Genny this morning.
    2 min later shut down to dead impeller.
    I've swapped it out, fired it up, ran great,lots of water for 2min.

    Shut down again, won't get past startup then the fuel solenoid drops back out. If I hold it she runs, let go she stops.
    So I'm suspecting a safety stat.

    I've never come across one that doesn't self reset.
    Sitting in the middle of nowhere Quebec with no shore power so this is kinda critical.

    Anybody? Ralph?

    Oh Brother, In Quebec without electricity.
    Good training for what is about to happen soon.
    Ooopps, You fixed it while I was typing.
    So you put an ice-cube on the sender or took the white wire off?
