TroyBilt 6250 generator

Brand new generator. Just started it today, with it running I took air filter out to check it and every time I go to put it back in, while its running it shuts generator off. Has gas and oil in it. Please help!!

Welcome, and not trying to avoid the question, but have you called or returned it to the dealer? That is where I would start, being brand new.

Sounds like maybe the filter got wet with gas and/or oil at some point.

Generator Electrical Question

Charlie112 on Sep 16, 2018

[left]I have a older 6250/5000 watt generator. It has two 5-15 and two 6-20 outlets. I'm currently using drop cords off the 5-15 to operate fans, fridge, TV and a few lamps. I really need hot water and my water heater is 220. I can pick up a 6-20P, although I may have a plug here. Can I hard wire my hot water heater straight to the 6-20 outlet off this generator bypassing the breaker? Looking in my breaker panel the water heater has a red/black going into the double breaker and a ground. Just thought I'd ask, it's likely not safe bypassing the breaker and I surely don't want to backfeed... Thanks[/left]

Hi All, what should the resistance be in a good coil ? I am getting 6.3 K , plug wire to coil frame, problem is no spark, plug is good, points are good, how do I test a condenser? Geo
