Hi everyone,am new to this board but have posted my problems on other ones. This might be a little long to give all the facts. I have the above Lifan inverter generator which i usuall y start up every month when not camping. Previous time i started it was okay everything worked ok. When i tried to start it in January and it being cold in the garage and hard to pull(senior 74) and since i had the truck warmed i pulled the side cover off and put the generator near the exhaust pipe,it started great and after i moved it to plug in power cord to put a load on it i noticed the overload light on with no power hooked up to it,checked overload breakers all seemed okay. Thinking moisture from exhaust i put a heater in front of the panel and after 1/2 hr tried again and everything ran perfect. Two days later when starting same thing again. Now BEFORE i used the heater it starts up green light comes on have power ,then after 5 second revs up a bit ,overload comes on and no power, It does this whether power connected or not, Ok when using heater to warm up inverter board first . Thank for your suggestions and sorry about the long post. Tom
