Good day, I have owned a Kipor KGE12E3 10.5KVA 3 Phase Generator for about 1 and a half years. The generator is used to run a 2.2kw 3 Phase Submersible borehole pump via a submersible pump controller. For about a year, I had no problems at all with the generator. Then I noticed that while I'm pumping water, the generator seems to alternate between running normally and then "pulling heavy" as if additional load has been added. At first I worried that I had a problem with my pump, however, this soon proved not to be the problem. At the moment the generator will run approximately 10-15 minutes under load of the pump, and will then move into the "heavy" cycle as I call it. The moment it moves into this cycle, the generator no longer continues to run and it appears that one cylinder is switched off. I unplugged the spark plug and discovered that if I pull a specific one, the sputtering does not change. It settles into a very uneven "idle" with sometimes back firing. Then there are times that the generator runs as if it is brand new. It would run for 3 hours straight, under load, and not problems. This is less regular though. Kipor has advised to change the fuel pump, and on their advise I fitted an electric fuel pump. This has made no change to how the generator runs. I live about 450km from the nearest service agent, therefor taking it in for a check is not an option. I have limited knowledge, but can find my way around, so if responding, please keep in mind that you're talking to a laymen! ;) Appreciate any response!

I apologize in advance as I know my terminology isn't great, but here's my situation: I recently purchased (at a garage sale), a [URL="https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=toro%2038581"]Toro Power Clear™ 221R (21") 141cc Single-Stage Snow Blower[/URL]. It starts fine and generally runs fine, but I was told by a neighbor that when I engage the blades (which do immediately start to spin), that the machine should really 'rev up' as it needs to throw the snow. In other words, when I engage the blades there is absolutely no change to the machine, aside from the blades beginning to spin (as rapidly as they should I believe). So, are the spinning blades enough to throw the snow, or should there be some extra 'oomph' that isn't happening? Thanks!
