Well after fooling with it today trying to get some ideas on what to check I finally got it to run. It had been plugged in to shore power all winter long and I know I have ran the generator with it being plugged in with no issues. Well today after fooling with it, I decided to unplug it and see what would happen. Well it took off like a champ and ran just fine for over 3 hours under a load. I finally shut it down and plan on trying it again tomorrow just to see what it does. Not sure why it being plugged in would matter, but apparently is did. Just wondering if I may have a switch or something going bad. If anyone hs any ideas please pass them along. Thanks.
