Fired the genset up this afternoon. It started easily after priming and ran smoothly for 20-30 minutes. I had turned both A/C's on while it was running and right before it quit, it sounded like it was running out of gas.

I know it's not a good thing to shut down a generator under load and I think it has damaged itself now that it did so.

I turned off the A/C's, tried to re-start the generator and it took several tries, firing and dying immediately then finally starting and running smoothly. I gave it 5 to 10 minutes then went to turn the A/C's back on and neither came on. The generator sounds like it has a load applied but nothing is happening with A/C units.

What died now?

1978 Eleganza II
