I just drug out my heaters and generator again.
I warmed it up, and this time I put one heater on the TT30, and one on the 5-20R (normal 120V outlet). No extension cords
On High, one heater reads ~1490VA, the other is ~1430VA measured while running individually on the generator.
Unloaded the generator showed 119V, 63Hz on the kill-a-watt (KAW).
again, when I turn both heaters on high, the gen loads down a lot, and will die within 15-30seconds if I don't shut something off.
The air cleaner is clean, the Spark arrestor is clean.
It's got a half tank of gas currently, older but has been stabilized with either seafoam or stabil. at some point I will get some new fresh non-ethanol gas & try it again.
Good discussion... carry on!
