    My family has one of these thats brand new, it has like an hour on the hour meter, but when we start it up, the overload light comes on, with nothing plugged in..

      Verify you have the generator in the run position and that the spar arrester is not clogged with carbon buildup. If that is good probably a rodent got to the inverter module’s wiring or it got overload and fried the module within that hour of used.

    Una pregunta!!!! Mi generador inverter es de 2000w prende muy bien... es muy estable...
    pero aveces prende el overload y no pasa corriente...
    Lo hace literalmente cuando le da la gana.... puede estar horas prendida o solo unos minutos...
    El punto es que lo hace cuando se le pega las ganas de jod3r.....
    CREES Q SOLUCIONE EL PROBLEMA COMPRANDO EL MODULO NUEVO????
    ya se verifico todo hasta saque el modulo y no veo nada explotado... PUDIESE SER Q SE ESTE DAÑANDO POCO A POCO???
    SALUDOS DESDE PR..

      Saludos! Primero asegúrate que en realidad no la estés sobrecargado con lo que le estas conectando. Lo otro sería verificar que no haya conexiones sueltas en especial desde el modulo al circuit breaker y receptáculos que causen un arco con la vibración del generador y se proteja tirando el overload. Si todo eso esta bien pues entonces el módulo inverter esta malito.

    Thinking about picking up a 9500 watt used but she says the 30 amp plug isn’t working. Any idea what it might be

    • @tacticalpowerpro
      @tacticalpowerpro  3 місяці тому

      If the other plugs work without issues then most likely it either has a bad 30 amp plug, a loose / broken wire to the 30 amp plug or a bad 30 amp circuit breaker before the plug.

    Good info👍👍 I have the same generator with less than 70 hours on it. The digital display is messing up. Wont light up, sometimes flickers on and off and wont display numbers or change to the different displays when pushing the button. Also, not putting out full wattage, maybe half. It will not automatically restart my small air compressor when air pressure gets low. The compressor motor just hums and the Generator acts like it's way over overloaded. It used to do just fine. I cant find any info about these issues
    Any clue what these problems could be?

      Thanks for watching my video! I can definitely help you out. #1 Make sure the carburetor is clean, #2 verify the spark arrester in is not clogged and #3 verify the spark plug is clean and has the right gap.

      @@tacticalpowerpro thanks for the reply. It runs great, the issue is electric output under a medium or higher load and the digital display not working properly. It acts like a 1500 watt generator trying to handle 3000 watts, not enough wattage output to handle the load.

    where can i order that module or does harbor freight sell it thanks if you can let me know......

      You can try calling Harbor freight, they will definitely tell you if they have it or where to find it. I normally get them through Amazon or eBay but they sell out fast, you got to keep an eye on them. I have a link in the description box for the inverter module but they are currently out of stock.

    Can you show how you took of the module

    • @tacticalpowerpro
      @tacticalpowerpro  7 місяців тому

      Sadly I didn’t record that part because I didn’t have a camera stand at that time. It is uncomfortable to get the module out if you don’t remove the entire front. I did it without removing the entire front. You see how the front is dangling in the video? I just pushed the front aside and removed the module.
