Considering events, it could be: 1. Overloaded. 2. Clogged cooling/venting system. 3. Clogged Water filer -> Not unlikely if the unit sits unused for long periods of time. 4. Valves too tight.

But I would like to point out, no one regularly runs their generators for 48+ hours as part of a normal test. In addition, most standby generators are fitted only for "limited" duration runs. You should expect problems during any extended run of a generator plant. I'm a bit surprised that 25 Broadway and 32 Old Slip are the only ones we've heard about.
