Sorry to see this happened. I hope you can find an inverter to get it going again.
Let us know if you find any air flow issues for the inverter once you pull it apart.
You should have been fine with a 3kw resistive load. No way it is ever going to start an electric motor that sized. To the generator that was like putting it into a dead short.
What heater elements are you using? Are you sure it is only 3kw load? You can't go by the load meter on the units...
5/16 to 3/8 is the standard gap. Looks like that is about where it is. You can try widening the gap a tiny bit at a time. Don't let it get too wide. Stay under 1/2".
These things are sensitive to small adjustments.
