Muchmore power supply question
 
At the track yesterday my MuchMore power supply would shut off and on while running off a generator and using a TP charger. Never had this problem before. The Power supply works properly at the house when plugged up and not on the generator. My friend ran off my generator with no problem. switched to his power supply with my charger and no problems.

Any ideas on what could be happening?

You may have been near the output limit of the generator. Some electronic components have an auto shutoff feature if the input voltage drops. We usually try to share power supplies to keep the amp draw down when running on the generators.:nod:

It did not work at the house on the generator either with only 1 charger on it.

If it still works OK on household current, it must be voltage fluctuations from the generator. You can check the generator voltage with a meter to see if there are fluctuations, but there is not much you can do about it. If your generator has DC output, you could use that instead of the power supply.
