Default Generator on a 308Z

Hi@all!

Can anyone tell me what i have to do to start the generator on my Z308?
Is there a fuel switch ore something else?

I hear that the Generator wants to start if we turn on, but it seems that he can`t get fuel....

Thx

Greetings Wolfgang

    Hello Wolfgang,

    It does sounds like your dealing with an ignition cutoff, fuel cutoff or both.

    Could you provide some more information about your generator?

    A manufacture's name and model type or number would really help as it is very possible the manufacture may still carry an owners operations manual for your generator.

    Thanks,
    WetWilly

    Well, I'd like to help you, but I'm not finding any info on the Westerbeke 4.5 "BCGE" series. You sure the model number is correct? I'll try and help you out as much as I can.

    Here's a link to Westerbeke's page document page, maybe this can point you in the right direction.

    Also, I'd like to talk to you sometime about your Z308 if you've got time, send me a message!!
