Attempted to start a new Generac Guardian 15 kw air cooled generator and the unit shuts down with 'overspeed' fault. I think it is running too fast. What should be my sequence of trouble shooting? Thanks

8 kW has a 35 amp breaker on the unit. A typical hot water is 4500 watts at 240 volts = 18.75 amps on each leg. If you are measuring 26 on one side and 19 on the other it should be ok. If it is shutting down you may have a fuel problem or you may need to adjust voltage if it's too low. Which model of 8 kW is it?
Leigh, See my 5/22/12 comments on my "overspeed fault" problem resolution [Generac 43903 standby Generator overspeed indicator on starting] . If it only runs for a few seconds and then quits, you may have a similar condition to the one my unit had. A good technician should be able to diagnose the problem and determine if you have a similar failure to the one I had, or one of the other causes suggested by RSG000.
under warranty , you best have to wait the time as anything you do to fix it will void the warranty which will suit the service agent just fine if you void the warranty he will get 2 hours travelling time plus the cost to repair time so don't touch it
just re energized my Generac Guardian RV generator but has no 12 volt
