    Generator not producing power.

    Hi I have a Loncin 5.8 kva generator that gives me power for a few hours then stops. Nothing trips on the generator or my burger van I just lose power. The output on the generator is 32 amp. I have a 16 amp lead and a 16 amp input socket. Could this be the reason for the loss of power?
