Converter Causing Generator Surge

I have a 5th wheel with a Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power Converter. When dry camping we use a Honda 2000 generator to recharge the batteries. Lately when I start the generator in the morning and the converter goes into the boost mode of 14.4 volts the generator will start to surge even without the RPM's increasing. I have to use the remote pendant to put in in the normal mode of 13.6 volts for about an hour then it can be placed in the boost mode and it will run normal. I have 2 generators and it happens with either and also when the 2 of them are hooked together with parallel cables. This has never happen in the past. A technician at the company said it was impossible for the converter to cause this and it has to be the generator. One generator is brand new and the other almost new. I am leaning toward a new converter but before spending the money would like advise from someone knowledgeable
on the subject. Thanks.

I would guess that your Generator is running lean. To test, warm up your generator then set it to ECO. Set the generator choke to 1/2 on and re-test. I think you will find it runs smooth. To fix your generator you need to open the fuel screw 1/2 turn. The fuel screw has an anti-tamper cap glued on. Just take a soldering iron and heat the cap and pull off with a needle nose plier. Re-test after each fuel screw adjustment. The fuel screw adjustment is very insensitive due the emulsion tube design on the main jet well. Record your adjustments.
