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...

How about the brushes? Or the surface they strike. Maybe the AC's need a good filter, condenser, evaporator coil cleaning to draw less.
Turning up the gov reminds me of all the shade tree mechanics that would turn up the car idle so the car wouldn't die at the stop light. Yes it works, but does it fix the true problem?
Best to either live with one AC running, or take it to a certified gen mechanic. Those that work on generators not knowing what they're doing, can get hurt or killed even.
