"With no load, on 120V setting, the generator was producing a pretty

effect on the amperage read out; the hair dryer test would drop the
amps to around 13 even; and the vacuum would drop it to about mid-10s
to low-11s. The vacuum and hair dryer together would pull the amps
down to mid- to high-8s, but again, the shaking and erratic RPMs meant
the unit was not functioning properly."

? Doesn't make sense. Current produced is directly related to demand on devices connected and turned on. Current should not decrease as more stuff is powered on.
No load should be no amps.... Something is consuming the power, perhaps a converter?
