A couple of years ago, I purchased a Generac IX2000 digital inverter generator. Last year I couldn't get it started, so this weekend I tore it all apart, cleaned the carb, all the fuel lines, air passages, basically anything you could thing of. So I get it put back together, throw some fuel and oil in it, starts right up, sounds okay, after a while sound pretty good, I go out an check, the overload light is on. It is one of those crap moments. So I start playing around, plug one of my saber saws to it, when it is sitting level, will not run the saw, if I tip it on its nose, the saw takes off works fine, tip it to the side, saw takes off runs fine, sit it back to level, no go, overload! Now all of the functions are controlled by the inverter on this unit, which is an epoxy encased unit, so there should be no moving parts to be affected by moving it around!
Does anyone have any experience with these digital inverter generators, that might give me a direction to go with it? I called Generac, and because it is over a year, they won't even talk to me about it! They told me, it probably needs a new inverter, which they quoted me $677 for, hell I only paid $449 for the whole unit brand new!
