    For the experts:

    Our 17.5 KW PowerTech generator sits on four small air bags, with a single regulator controlling the pressure. It seems to take about 20 lbs to lift the front of the engine off the deck and another 5-10 lbs to lift the rear/generator portion. Is this typical, or could there be an issue with the air bags? The rear bags aren’t visible to me.

    Additionally, I’ve noticed considerable movement lately when the bags are inflated to 30 lbs; the generator seems to be “dancing” a lot. It doesn’t appear to be running rough or missing, just moving around a lot.

    What pressure usually works best, and do you have any thoughts on the “dancing”?

    Thanks in advance!

    Mike, the label under my gauge for the gen. bags states 14 #, mine is set at 20#. I do not have excessive movement.
