I bought this Kipor inverter generator a few years ago on CL. It tested good and ran like a champ. I fired it up now and again to keep it fresh. Never really loaded it. Just ran som random shit to make sure it worked.
Well as you probably guessed. It didn't work when I needed it.
it started right up but once I put the pellet stove on it it ran for a minute then went into overload. I fucked with it for a bit (1:30 in the fucking morning) and kicked it to the curb. I braved the storm to my work and grabbed the Honda.
Since then I bought a Honda cuz that fucker always works flawlessly. Now I've fucked with this some more and these are my findings.
The stator produces voltage. 120vac each leg the inverter doesn't put out any voltage. The overload light comes on with no load. I'm suspicious of the overload modual. Is there a way to test this shit? Can it be as simple as replacing the overload module??
If it needs a new inverter it's junk because it will cost more than I paid. Can I make a non inverter generator out of it worse case?? Looking for someone knowledgeable in fucking with these things.
