Ok, here's a brain scratcher for y'all:
Predator 2kw inverter generator can't carry a load and the governor seems to be acting up. Here's a short video:
According to my Kill-a-Watt it's pulling ~700w (698-731w) constant load with a heat gun on low. In Eco mode the startup surge from a mini fridge will often bog it down to the point it dies. Holds about 350w OK but at 700+ it has real issues, and at 1500w it does the same thing more often.
I started by running a tank of fresh gas with some STP fuel system cleaner at about 3x strength. The bowl and jet are so clean I can see my distorted face in the reflections so it's NOT clogged jets.
Pulled the hoses, all clear.
Pulled the bowl and side jet, pristine clean.
Blew out the port into the fuel tank.
I noticed the governor freaking out under load so took a video hoping it will help. At this point I'm thinking the control board or the electric governor? Any other ideas? According to Youtube and Google I'm the only person in the world with this problem.
