Honda 2000 and AC and Microwave problems

Hooked up Honda 2000 to TT -- everything worked except the AC & Microwave won't come on ...

Is there a breaker or ? somewhere in the Tamarack Trail which is preventing this ... or what ...

The AC fan would run, but not the compressor, and the microwave won't show it is on ... no lights, nothing.

    I would think the clock on the microwave would at least come on. I'd look for the breaker panel or even up in the cabinets behind the microwave to make sure it didn't come unplugged.

    Try using a lower power setting on the microwave. Instead of power 10, try power 7 or 6.

    A/c won't run off a 2K honda.

    My Microwave and A/C will run on a 2000i Smarter Tools Genny. I selectively turn some of the breaker switches to off and go from there. I have a 9,000 btu a/c, so if you have anything bigger than that, you'll need a parallel unit.

    Try a simple test. Most microwaves are plugged into an outlet in the cabinet next to them. Unplug the microwave from the wall and run an extension cord directly to the generator.

    you will not be running the A/C
    we tried 3 2000 watt gen for the microwave. ONLY the Honda had enough overload runtime to keep the microwave on. it will sound like a freight train while running, but it is fine. we uses ours only for about 5" at a time, then let everything cool done.

    Found that a Honda 2000i had the hot and neutral reversed on both of the 120 outlets, has anyone else had this?
