Well, my Genny has been working great all summer and I was just about to start winterizing it. I went to start the Genny, it starts for about 3 seconds while I am holding the pre-heat switch. Then, the 15 amp breaker pops. After I reset it I can crank again with the same results.
Troubleshooting so far
Here is the location of the wiring diagram:

- Gen cranks and starts for 3 seconds
- shuts down and 15amp breaker on top of Genny pops
- fresh oil
- reset breaker and sequence is repeated
- Battery great
- Plugged into 50 amp shore power
Troubleshooting so far
- Turn gen start/stop switch to first click. I did not attempt to start the Genny or activate the pre-heat switch. Leave it turned on for 10 seconds or less and 15 amp CB pops.
