Westerbeke EFI generator issues

[easttnboater]

Did you perform the trouble shooting process that is in the manual that is in post #15?

[ltrdayz]

Yes. We keep finding more things to test too. Still on our investigation.

It's been two weeks... what did you find?

Putting my money on a head gasket.

did you run a compression test?

I'm beginning to think the problem has been found and fixed, and it was one of those simple little issues that is just too embarassing to report. Been there!

Comon Ltrdays, 'fess up!

[ltrdayz]

Problem finally solved!!! YAY!! It was the speed sensor. Thank you everyone for your great advise.

[Stmbtwle]

Glad you found it! I know how frustrating such issues can be.

Where does the fuel draw from? What tank? I know this isn't a good example, but the same thing happened with the Onan generator on my motorhome. After much ado (like you are going through) it turned out that the fuel was drawn from the same tank as the MH's engine but did not go to the bottom of the tank. When the fuel got down to between 1/4 and 1/3 full, bingo, no more fuel to the genny. Filled up the tank and it ran like a champ. Point is the symptoms were the same as yours. And if it was water getting into the cylinders, yu would have seen it on the plugs.
