    Honda Generator/Micro Minnie FLX overload

    Hi - We have a new Micro Minnie FLX. We bought a Honda 2200i generator as a backup. When I attach it, it shows that it's providing 140A of power, but after 30 seconds or so the generator starts racing and then stops, with the overload light on. Any idea what's going on? thanks
