    What would YOU check next on this Generac? 🤔<br><br>I went through valves, spark, gas pressure, AVR… and it still didn’t want to cooperate.<br><br>Also—if you missed Part 1 (ice cream machine chaos 🍦), check it out here:<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2FXkji2Xjk">https://youtu.be/r2FXkji2Xjk</a><br><br>And be honest… how many times have you been “not on call” and still ended up on a job? 😂

    You definitely should’ve made the call on the AVR with that voltage all over the place. I see it all the time.

    Definitely a busy day for you Rick! &nbsp; Looks like some bad weather had passed through the area. Glad the damage to his home wasn&apos;t worse. &nbsp;Those older generators were lacking as the technology hasn&apos;t caught up with them yet.<br><br>Great job all the way around!

    You did many good deeds that day. &nbsp;I have worked many times when not on call. &nbsp; Depends on the customer. &nbsp;Good stuff Rick.

    That unit came with a 58hz &nbsp;circuit board. All the units in that series did. All 5200 series vtwin models. Ridiculous, yes.... Generac has a replacement 60hz board. If you get the replacement board, make sure you dial the voltage regulator back down to 247ish...<br><br>Ohh and they started recommending rc14yc .04 gap on those.. if you look up the maintenance kit for that unit, those are the spark plugs that come in the box, have been since 2010ish. However rc12yc is fine... and I usually go .035 gap.
