Well since I have no time and really no experience to chase this down I took it into the mechanics that rebuilt the engine last year. I have not talked to the service guy directly but they said the battery had low voltage. So they charged and refilled and she ran. However they had the door open where the blower is (which is new as of last fall) and it overheated and shut off. The gen then shut off because it over heated. They let things cool down a while and started again with the bay door to the blower off and everything ran fine for 2 hours. Going to run it again tomorrow and if no shutting down issues then I guess it's fixed.
So the issue sounds like a low voltage battery I guess that could not sustain it running???? Confused.
