I ran my generator 2 hours every 5 hours or to power refrig and freezer and microwave when power was out for a few days. No problem it ran fine. The load is not very high from those items. I made a trip and had to stop and it was hot so I cracked up the generator and turned on both AC UNITS. It ran for about 20 minutes and quit. It was 94 out side and when I used the generator to power the house it was about 80 out side. It seems every time I make a trip and it is hot out side it quits when I need it. I really need to be able to use it when traveling when it is hot since my wife likes to sit at the table while I drive.

What would be a few things I need to check. The oil level checked ok.

I am planning to run it and load it next wk when it is hot outside; I would like to fix it so I can depend on it when I need it if possible.

Last year: Compression checked out. Installed new point and condenser. Changed coil to see if that was the problem. Made sure no air leaks around the filter. It ran fine when I was checking and it was hot outside. It was also pulled out when I worked on it.
