Some little generators are not for electronic equipment. Don't want to fry
the controller. I'm in process of looking at voltage and waveforms from
mine.

Put a 3 stage EMC line filter in series with your electronics. One
stage a waste of time. Schematic is often shown on the side.
A 10A unit is a large block, but will provide a lot of protection
against higher frequency spikes - the type of spikes most
'inexpensive' electronics do not protect against.
