Might be moisture. With the unit off, open the voltage switch cover and leave it open. Fire the unit up and let it run at high idle for 15-20 minutes. Shut it down manually, close the cover and the restart. See if that solved the problem. The overload circuit appears to be very sensitive to...

Hauled the generator back up north this weekend. Went to fire it up and got the overload light came on right away. It wasn't raining out, but it was a cool damp foggy morning. Suspecting moisture was the culprit, I opened the inverter cover and then fired up the generator. It was cool out so...

Got home last night and it wouldn't act up. Everything was normal. I got talking with somebody and he reported as having seen the same problem. He actually has seen it several times and attributed the issue to moisture in the inverter. He found that by unplugging the 6 prong plug at the...

Ok, flipping the battle short must be a sequence critical because I tried flipping it before and it made no difference, but I thought that it wasn't effective on overloads. I'll try it again tonight.

Just to be clear, it's only when I start holding the governor lever that the unit shuts down. Otherwise it just drops the load and turns the light on.
