:B That is funny. I work part time for a Briggs and Stratton dealer, CTC is beating us up on price for those generators. I would love to tell the price grinders to take them back to the store for service but can't.:(
Do you know anything about the red overload light? Mine flashes when loading gets over 1700VA and flashes faster as you load more. If load reduced some (but still over 1700), flashing slows down. Reduce to below 1700 and red stops with green on. Nothing about that in the owner's manual.
If way overloaded, the 120v is cut off and the red light stays on steady, with the engine running at a lower idle. (Inverter disconnected I guess)
Then once you unplug the load and reset the 120v circuit breaker, the engine speeds up to normal again and green light on. This part is in the owner's manual.
I want to run the gen at just over 1700VA which means with the red light flashing, but it worries me that it is flashing.
