High resistance builds heat and creates problems as you found...

Plastic wire nuts melt from the heat of a poor connection and it gets worse and starts arcing.....It's a common problem I see pretty often......

Thanks Rich , you may be on to something with the oil level, I just recently had it serviced at Camping World, prior to that I had no issues with it shutting down. I'll check it out later today and post my findings.
thanks

just got back from checking the generator out. The oil level is at top of the full line. I will change the oil and lower the level. everything else looks ok.
thanks
