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!

what do you mean by die? the engine actually shuts off?, or the electricity turns off?
does the engine just turn right off? or does it surge then stall?
