During a recent power outage at my house I finally found the limits of the little champion.
I ran an extension cord from the 110v outlet to my roof swamp cooler with a 3/4 horse motor and it flat killed my little baby, no breakers popped but it killed the RPMs and put a load like Ive never seen on my little yellow trooper. I tried to get it to start a few times but no go.
We ended up running the extension to some splitters and running multiple fans in the house instead, all in all it ended up runnin 3 fans, 36" CRT TV, surround sound, dish box, 5 60w lamps, refer, freezer and my computer.
Im really suprised it wouldnt start my swamp, the motor doesnt have a capacitor so maybe that was the issue. After a couple of beers I almost got on the roof and spun the squirrel cage while the Mrs plugged it in but I figured loosing fingers wasnt worth the cooling.
It has always run everything Ive thrown at it without a hickup, but I guess a non capacitor 3/4 horse motor is enough to make it scream mercy.
