KIPOR Inverter Generator Troubleshooting Guide
Fuel Leak
For the 3000/3500Ti, it could be the valve or it could be the tank leaking between the brass fitting and the plastic tank. Both are replaceable. Determine which is leaking and either part is replaceable.
Fuel Flow
Open the drain screw on the bottom of the carburetor, do you get a steady flow of fuel? If so, there is no blockage. If no fuel flow, blockage may be the case. It is possible that you have a partial blockage which allows fuel to flow to the carb, giving the appearance of a steady supply, when in fact it is there but is not enough to meet the demand of the engine. Check for kinks in the fuel line.
It is also possible that there is a blockage in the carb. Try removing the bowl on the bottom of the carb and then removing the float and turning on the fuel. This will allow fuel to flow freely thru the carb. This is a very simple process. However, it may be easier to remove the carburetor first. Be careful to not damage the gasket. Clean the parts and replace them and try again to see if the unit will run properly. It could also be a plugged fuel filter. For the 1000 and 2000Ti it is located in the gas tank were the fuel line is connected. For the 3000Ti you have to take the fuel valve off and it should come out attached to the valve.
For the 1000 and 2000Ti there is a vacuum gas pump. This pump is activated by a vacuum tube connected to the motor housing situated under the carburetor. Make sure that this tube is connected properly.
Stepping Motor (Electric Throttle Actuator)
Does the stepping motor respond when the inverter module is trying to change the engine speed when more load is applied? Does the stepping motor try to adjust the carb and is unable to or does the carb respond properly to the stepping motor but it still makes no difference? Depending on your answer, it could be the stepping motor or the carb. Spaying WD40 on the linkage and moving it manually might free it up.
