I've been doing some testing with a 3500 Watt Champion and natural gas. I've been running it in 120 volt mode. When running on gas with no venturi (for nat gas) in front of the carburetor I can get the generator to run with a 28.5 amp load. With a venturi and still using gasoline I couldn't get the generator to handle a 12 amp load. With natural gas and tweaking the load block for best possible performance I was able to get as much as 22 amps.
At some point I may try this test on propane, but I don't have the right connections right now to do that. I would expect propane to be somewhere between these gasoline and natural gas results.
My test set up is a portable electric heater, a hair dryer and heat gun. The hair dryer and heat gun can be run a different loads.
