No, no, no........ you will not get 5 more amps and double the watts. Watts is power and it is the voltage x the amperage. You will have exactly what you have on a single duplex outlet at 120 volts. Any attempt to alter this in a manner different than putting the two generator windings in parallel with respect to the proper phase relationship will ruin your generator and possibly damage anything connected. It can also potentially ruin you!
All kinds of urban myths about generators abound. Guess this is a new one.
You are right. My mistake for not reading manual correctly.
I did get a twist lock last night and did run the A/C no problem.
When the compressor kicked in, there was a load where it revved up the engine for a couple seconds.
Now what my manual says is that I have 4 110v household outlets.
One of the outlets is 1800 watts 15 amps. The other outlet is 2800 watts 20 amp.
So I should be able to run my A/C from the outlet that puts out the 20 amps and not need the twist lock adapter since the twist lock outlet specs the same.
