I would guess it's heat related. Either the electronic ignition getting too hot and breaking down, gas boiling, possible a stopped up vent in the gas cap if you're using the factory tank, or engine just getting too hot to run.

I've seen the exhaust valve guides swell up so much from heat the exhaust valve would stick open until the engine cooled down.

 

Yeah she's overheating hasn't done this rest of week. Gonna replace the oil 2moro lol

 

It's fairly new generator , more than likely overhead valve type. Pete, have you changed plugs lately? Try a marine type plug , they don't foul as easy. We used to run marine plugs in our kart race engines, two reasons they don't foul at bad times , and on flat head motors if you didn't index the plug , the valve would lift at high rpm and close the gap

 

Plug is under a month old

 

New oil in running fine so far...

 

Keep in mind about the marine plugs for future reference. Does your generator have low oil or low oil pressure cutoff switch? Hope that's the problem.

 

It has low cut off. I put that oil in 2 days ago. It was dark brown already. Never buy loves oil lol

 

Put diesel oil in if you haven't already. It will hold up much better.
