Bob just turned on a light in the back of my head (a dim one).
Are you absolutely positive you are pushing 110-120 VAC out of the generator and not 220-240 VAC?
You see, (for example) if you have a resistive load of 10 ohms and apply 120 volts your current will be 12 amps (E/R=I). But, if we apply 240 volts to the same resistance our current will rise to 24 amps! (240/10 = 24). Under that condition the generator would bog down immediately.
Just double check the voltage at the outlet you are using to be sure we don't have a backwards wired generator.
