generator operstions
OK so I am new to all this & I am repairing an older motorhome. So I start up the gen every couple of weeks & let it run but now I see that I'm suppose to put it under a load. How much of a load & how...

Thanks for the suggestion. It was a loose battery cable. Now the my inside lights work & my generator starts up again & runs great until I try to turn on the breaker. I went to turn on the microwave & it bogs down really bad. The microwave clicks on for a half second then back off again. Any suggestions?
It sounds like the governor portion of your generator is not functioning as it should. If the motor is not throttled up as the load increases, the voltage will drop and this could damage your microwave.
Your generator may need to be serviced by a technician and it could be something as simple as a lost spring, or it may need to have the carburetor serviced and adjusted.
