This must be a generac thing. The governor freezes up if not used enough. Had the same thing happen on a generator I was fixing and i'm pretty sure it bent a pushrod almost instanty, or the governor assembly let go inside the engine. Anyways I was doing some pressure washing for a customer and he was home waiting for me to show up, so I didn't want to show up and then tell him I would have to come back since my pressure washer wasn't working right, so I just used it as is. Anyways, after an hour it finally freed up and starting "governing" the rpms. It only reved high when I let off the trigger which was rarely and stayed pretty close to the correct rpm with the trigger pulled so I doubt I hurt anything.
Anyways, my point is I've never had this happen on any other engine. What gives? It started up first try.
