where you located?

my big generator (10,000) really hardly ever used, stopped producing big power out of my 120 outlets. It was giving electricity but not enough to power up the compressors of the freezer, fridge etc. Any thoughts to issue? If i had too much plugged up to 120 outlets (freezer, fridge, window unit) then would it have not powered up anything? I was using both 120 outlets.

I’m in Baton Rouge… the electrical side I actually don’t mess with that much… only thing I’ve ever done is replace the GFCI outlets due to it not working.. but the engine side could be the cause of the issue if it’s not able to produce the RPM’s is should… how does the engine side run? Are the RPM’s low, does it sound like it’s just not running right? Or is the engine running fine but the electrical side is not producing?

10,000 is a lot, and to bog it down to where it wouldn’t produce big power would mean you would have to hook up ALOT… I got a 4000 predator and was running a 8000btu window unit, double door fridge/freezer, deep freezer, 2 lights; and charging cell phones and it wasn’t even struggling a little
