I'm sorry for the dust storm I caused!
Hey, don't be sorry, Jim. We're all learning here, and I didn't understand.

What I take from the discussion is that the problem isn't RUNNING OUT OF GAS while the generator is under load. The problem is SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE while the generator is under load, whether it shuts down by running out of gas, or shuts down because someone flipped the "RUN" switch off. Either one would cause overheated windings, or electrical transients to the load, or whatever.

Does that sound right?
