I really don't mean to pile on but a voltage check while a battery is being charged doesn't indicate anything other than it's being charged. In order to get anywhere near the correct SOC using voltage, you have to disconnect all charging sources and loads, wait 24 hrs, then take a reading.

When I come home from a trip, hook up the charger, the batteries voltages eventually comes up to 14.8V. Guess what? They're not fully charged. Eventually the charger goes into float as 13.65V. Guess what? They're STILL not fully charged. Eventually 50W will get your batteries in the high 90% range but it will not be in a day.
the new morningstar is working, solar is charging batts to full every day I have sun! I checked with a volt meter.
End of story!

What makes you think it's all good? ๐
If 50W solar can keep up, your battery should always be full or almost full, at least on sunny days, and problems like before would have never happened. That's why I doubt it can keep up, and I'm not the only one.
Moreover, if the battery was discharged too low and for too long, it has been irreversibly damaged. It will work, but will die sooner now.
One good news is that new 10A controller allows adding 80W or 100W to your existing 50W, as noted.

Genny is really hard to start but it will start, then it surges when on ECO, but off of ECO it runs fine. If its not one thing its another.
Get a can of Seafoam and put about 1/4 of the can in the gas tank. Your surging in ECO mode is most likely a gummed up carb jet. I had this exact symptom with my EUi2000. Cleaned carb and fixed problem.
