Koehler 5 confidant generator
My genny is supposed to run both ac units. When I start the front ac everything runs perfect and gen. is still putting out 120V. After a few minutes I switch on the second ac and it immediately kills...

Will the rear a/c start and run if you start that one first without the front running? Interesting to see if they behave the same way if you start them in the reverse order, ie, will the front a/c kill the gen if you try to start it with the rear a/c running?
He's right if want to test but be carful making the gen die with a load can tear something up in the gen.
I would start by testing with a clamp on meter testing ac1 how many amps its pulling at start and how many running and then with ac1 off test the the amp pull of ac2 .
Also what else is running while trying to run both ac's .
You need to add up amps before you mess something up in the gen.
