I read the directions again and it says for low load (250W or less), try moving the lever half way to the choke position.  Nothing.  I figured, what the hell, hooked up a drill to it.  Power!  OK, so now I hook up the Triton 2 and the drill and run the drill.  Power to the charger!  Seems without sufficient load being called for, the generator does not put out.  I am not electrically inclined, but is there something I can do to at least use the generator until I find a good deal on a Honda?  Having me stand there with a drill the whole time I am charging does not sound appealing.
