generator/electrical problem

Having an issue with what I assume is my generator. I can run the generator and normally don't have any issues. I can run electronics, the microwave works, etc.
However, when I try to run the AC, something resets. The AC will actually start running for a couple seconds and blow cold air. But then everything resets. Not really sure what is happening. What I see is the electrical display panel - that shows I'm connected to 50amp service - will turn off and back on like I just plugged in.
The generator never shuts down. I am only running 1 AC unit, and it doesn't matter which one I run.
There are no issues when I'm on shore power. I can run both AC units without issue.
I don't have a lot of expertise with generators. I know the oil level is good and the oil was recently changed.

Is this something that's worked previously, but not now?
