My question would be about the service you got on the genset. Did the shop actually burnish the rings like they should...on a 16 year old genset?I don't believe so, just ran the test and called it good.
Here's my thinking: If the rings are dirty with corrosion and accumulated age related filth, or if the 16 year old brushes are dirty, they could be throwing tons of noise on the AC line. While a resistive 'load bank' would not be affected by that noise, sensitive electronic devices, along with capacitors in the AC, could be.Makes total sense. While I did check the frequency(dead on), I did not have an oscilloscope to see how clean it was, didn't really even think that far into it. Great idea! Thanks!

How long has it been since the fuel filter was changed on the diesel gen?

For some reason, your not getting the surge current you need from your Onan. Could be the gen but also could be a bad connection, damaged wire or resistance in the transfer switch or, someplace else.
I bet if you could bypass all the wiring from the gen to the AC, it would work fine.
I could try that with the front ac, not sure if I have enough to reach the rear, but that's a good idea also. Thanks.
I agree I'm getting resistance somewhere, but why would the Honda run it fine through all the same wiring after the switch?
Another thought... Would house battery condition have any affect on this?

Did the AC run properly on the welder wiring?
