Generator makes a “spark knock” or
“pinging” noise
An occasional light “knocking” or
“pinging” under heavy load is not
a cause for concern. However, if
the knocking or pinging occurs
under normal load at a steady
engine speed, the problem may
be with the brand of gasoline
being used.
Switch to a different brand of gasoline,
making sure that the octane rating is 86 or
higher. If problem continues, contact your
nearest authorized service center.
