Within the last month I had a customer that had a very similar problem. He had the GCU changed out and STILL had the problem. He ended up changing the inverter on a 5000W unit. Total parts cost was almost $700.00 {300.00 GCU and $410.00 Inverter) PN 7228-D21007 INVERTER UNIT ($410.44)
Since the actual generator is DC you should check for a DC output from the generator and watch the DC voltage as it goes into overload. If the DC voltage exceeds 130VDC I would suspect the GCU. If it stays around 120 VDC and still goes into an overload condition the inverter is bad.
A video of this generator is here:
Sad part of it is when new it retailed for around $500.00. They have been discontinued but there is a semi-clone of this unit by Eastern Tools ETQ IN1800i http://www.amazon.com/IN1800I-4-Stroke-Portable-Inverter-Generator/dp/B001JLTH12 ($280.00)
This information provided so you can make an informed decision about repair or replacement.
there is a fuse or breacker that will trip some times so check that first, The wire may of came off from the plug in or the plug in will burn out some times or there is a diod in the motor they will go out you really need a meter to check these problems out just need to check the easy ones first fuse or bad wire good luck
