The generator starts and runs fine. The problem is the overload light and the output light come on at the same time.There is no ac output  and the inverter gets very hot.Any idea what might cause this problem.

The ex350 owners manual says that the red light will stay on if the motor slows down excessively.  This could be caused by a fouled spark arrester screen (located inside the muffler) or the exhaust screen ( located at the muffler outlet.) to reset the red overload light,you must shut the motor off. When starting an electric motor red and green will come simultaniously. This is normal if the red light goes out after about 10 seconds. If it stays on consult your Honda dealer. Other than these things, your getting into some advanced electrical troubleshooting.
