Well I just bought a used Homelite 5600 watt generator with 8 hours run time on it. It starts right up, but the GFCI trips every time without a hint of light from my test light. The volt meter shows voltage. I replaced the GFCI with a known good one, same problem.

Anyone have any idea what to check next?

I need this thing. We are going to be full up over new years at our little motel and, and can't have a power outage ruining our guest's stay.

Thanks, John www.ghiaspecialties.com
