Re: [a/s] Genset...
Try removing the spark plug(s) and check for a fluid lock. Coolant or fuel
can drain into the combustion chamber and stop the piston. If it has a
magneto-flywheel like a lawnmower engine, check for a sheared keyway. With
the plug out, put your finger over the plug hole, turn the crank and feel for
compression. No compression? possible stuck valve that might respond to Wd-40
and gentle tapping on the valve stem. Sumpin to try anyway.
Best of luck.
