Jason picked up this Generac XG10000E with less then 100 hours on the clock for $500. New they sell for over $2,000. According to the seller the engine is running fast. Jason connected the kill a watt and measured 97 hertz (5820 rpm). Generators without a load should be set close to 61.5 hertz (3690 rpm). Is the governor trashed? Lets find out.
