I have just been doing research on generators the last 2 months and come to find out a lot of generators split the power between circuits. I know a guy that re wired his 4000W generator to one 110V outlet just for that reason. I’m not much of a tinker so I went a different route. I just bought a Champion 3500W remote start inverter generator couple weeks ago. It runs my 15k BTU AC, microwave and mini drink fridge no problems. The start up amps on the ac will surge 31 Amps then drops down to 14 while running. With a 11 year old generator and possibly not a dedicated circuit this could be the problem. My model is a champion 100262 about $1200 OTD.
Also check your elevation above sea level. Every 1000’ above sea level you will loose 3% power efficiency. I’ll be dry camping at 7,500 feet this month so I bought a elevation jet for the carb. Hopefully this unit will do the job? I’ll have to wait and see. Best of luck mate!!
