> OK, I did not (yet) buy a Honda or Yamaha generator.  I picked up one from the neighbors friend for $75, so I figured I would give it a whirl.  I did test run it last year and it was relatively quite and not too heavy.  I figured if I keep lifting it, I might get as buff and Anthony Abdullah.

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.
