Look to the bottom of the page for the PDF file for single phase wiring. You may want to confirm it's set up correctly. The outback won't work with a three phase setup.

take Bullwinkle to lunch ,,, if that doesn't work ,, buy honda

I tend to do all my own repairs on these things so have no answers with regard to a generator expert/repair facility. I'd second wolverine2 on the Bullwinkle arrangement. As per a replacement (assuming it ends up there), I can't say but do know Hondas largest generator is only 10kw which would provide less than half the power of the desired 24kw genset.
Sorry to hear about your issue with the generator David, best of luck in getting the issue resolved.

After fairly extensive load testing using heater elements as only load and directly connected to generator and seeing L1 vs L2 imbalance in all variations, took a deep breath and rewired the alternator from parallel zig zag to double delta. I think my electrician friend was impressed
So far all loads, initially the direct connect heater elements and eventually the house via Outback including 4 240v pumps, and L1-L2 were pretty balanced both voltage and amperage. So at this point, cautiously declaring success Even ran the microwave oven without an error popping up.

Now to find someone with diesel injector pump governor experience to see if we can solve the run on situation.

Funny 99% of all gensets I see are set double delta from the factory for split phase.... odd

Here is a link to Hardy Generators ....they pioneered the importation of gensets - .... good source for parts
