In response to the post by NM Desert Rat, I have a Power Pro 3500 from Pep Boys also. I thought it was doing OK at first as it ran the AC. Then I got a voltage meter and let it run for a longer time and found the voltage gradually went down until I cut it off when it got to 104-105 volts and the generator motor sounded like it was "surging". I recently got a friend to bring a Fluke ammeter home from work and checked the generator output. It was showing 2.3 amps with just the converter on. Put on the AC and it was showing 14-15 amps. That was all it would do and the voltage drop started. I am very disappointed as I checked the manual before buying it and the manual says 25amps/120 volts. It only does about half that. Think I will have to have a talk with Wen about that. Dont think I will try to rewire it. May not be worth the effort. Al in Va.
there is always the posibility it needs to be adjusted, then again maybe your A/C unit is low on freon and has high head pressure
