Hopefully an electrician can chime in. I do know that some generators produce a modified sine wave that not all electrical devices can utilize.

Yes, I think that is what was causing the pumps to overheat. I've checked all the most obvious things with the generator. As it can't be used to drive my pumps anyway, I'm not inclined to spend much effort fixing it. I'll just give it away as is and someone else can deal with it.
