jjleprikon, I am curious about the sticker on your generator that says it won't run a compressor or saw. That's the first I've heard about that. My Champion didn't have that sticker.
I just went out and fired up my Champion to see if it would run them. It will run my compressor and Skilsaw at the same time. Of course it slows for a second or two as each thing is turned on, but then it settles back into its normal hum.
My compressor is a Campbell Hausfeld "Extreme Duty" 20 gallon. The motor plate says wired for 120V (as it now is) it draws 15A with a LRA of 100A. The saw was a cheapo Skilsaw brand direct drive that claims to be 2.3 HP 12A. The compressor was plugged into the 20A side and the saw into the 15A side. If the Champion can do it, I would expect that any of the Chinese clones could do it just as well.
Actually what a perfect opportunity to play with my new camera!

The generator seems pretty loud here, and it is because it is inside my shop (while running my big exhaust fans.)
Hope this helps.
