    Can over heating cause this problem?

    This is an electronically-controlled engine and the engine control interfaces directly with the generator controls. As far as I can see the best form of diagnosis would be to get a service technician equipped with Cat ET hooked up to the generator set while it's on load and run the required electronic diagnostics to see what's happening.
