Good day to all,
Have an Onan generator 7.5 MDJE series and last night when running on the hook opened up the fridge and the light was flickering. Both A/C compressors were running as well. I looked at the voltage meter and saw it swinging between 100 - 125V. Also note the load showed 3200 watts. My first thought was to shut down the A/C pronto as to not burn out the compressor motors. Noted the engine on the gen was not loping or hunting and was running at a steady state (acutal RPM unknown). I just spent a ton of money having the injector pump and injectors rebuilt and the fuel shut off solonid replaced.
When first powering up and starting the first then second A/C units I'd hear the gen rpm's lower a bit then recover to a constant state.
Any ideas on where I need to start or what to look at?
Thanks in advance.
