Some users put a load resistor across the output (on the inside of the power supply) so there's always a load on the system when the power supply is turned on.

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.<br> <br>Anyway, I hooked up the power supply/chargers to it and nothing. I tried my old Triton 2, nothing. Maybe the output is not stable enough. 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.<br> <br>Mike C<br>D4</span></div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin-bottom: 5pt; "><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target="_blank">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin-bottom: 5pt; "><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target="_blank">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin-bottom: 5pt; "><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target="_blank">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a></div></div></blockquote><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><br><br>__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 7130 (20120511) __________<br><br>The message was checked by ESET Smart Security.<br><br><a href="http://www.eset.com" target="_blank">http://www.eset.com</a><br><br><br>__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 7130 (20120511) __________<br><br>The message was checked by ESET Smart Security.<br><br><a href="http://www.eset.com" target="_blank">http://www.eset.com</a></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><br><br>__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 7130 (20120511) __________<br><br>The message was checked by ESET Smart Security.<br><br><a href="http://www.eset.com" target="_blank">http://www.eset.com</a></div></div><br>_______________________________________________ NSRCA-discussion mailing list<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a></div></span></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
