Just picked up a 'good' generator.

Tried it on my little hand planer 200w - no problem
Tried it on my Flymo 300 compact hoover lawn mower 1400W - does not
seem to have enough umph (even thou not cutting anything)

Just what will it drive ???

Well 3.5kva = about 2800watts 16amp for most loads but its recommended you
derate by about 25% for use with induction motors, like perhaps your flymo.
