2200 watts gives you a 15 amps circuit or 10 amps. Good for one circuit.
How does the gen get plugged in, and where? With all the house breakers shut off and with gen breaker tripping, instantaneously or delay, it is being plugged in incorrectly, picking too much load, and would be normal for tripping the gen breaker.
What you do in a small way, choose a circuit in the load center (panel), disconnect the wire from the breaker of the circuit you want to feed and feed the circuit directly from the gen. An extension cord with female plug removed, cord leads are connected to the circuit, white to neutral buss, green to green, ground or metal casing, and black to wire removed from breaker.
Your skill level must be considered so you are not injured nor is property damaged.
Likely the 2200 watt genset does not have GFCI and the other does.
I think there is overload .kindly measure ur load of consumption. Do not run the generator set with high load it can be cause of circuit breaker Tripp off .
Hi the answer to why it trips the generator even when all the breakers are odd in house. Is because the house Switc board has an MEN Link (this mean's thier is a conection between Earth and Neutra. For an earthing system to funchions property, and also so Safty watches function when thats is a short To Earth. If you can test the Generator socket their should be 230vAC Between Active and netrual, 230vAC between active Earth. and 0vAc no volt between Natural and Earth. If their is volt between Natural and Earth. Recommend either change Generator to an isolated to ground type or have an ELECTRICIAN insamel and popper mains change over switch so when switched to Generator it Disconnets Active and netrual when it also disconects the Natural to the MEN Link. If you requiers ELECT Drawings will need a ELECTRICIAN with Power Generator experiance and Qalifications. ALSO OT MUST HAVE electrical saftt cart. To ensure Compliance. With relevent regulations. Is your location.

Hi there .
In my opinion you should remove the starter and check the starter first . After you remove the starter get a good 12v battery and 2 wires and test the starter . Make sure to not invert polarity . After you touch the wires on the contactor (small solenoid on the side) see if the overrunnig (part with gears) comes out easy and with no obstruction . If the overrunning does not come out you could have a bad contactor (part # 31204-ZA0-003) or a bad starter (part # 31200-ZA0-701) .
Hope this help
SOURCE: no output voltage at all
The generator needs to be 'flashed' to bring back the excitation for output. Is this something you can do? Let me know and I can help you...

remove the covering panel and expose the internals , check for loose/disscontected push on ( lucar ) connectors , if these are fine it is most likely the excitation capacitor is deffective , replace with exactly the same value/voltage rating/duty cycle . the capacitor is usual 1 or up to 3 cylindrical tubes with 2 wires comming from them , always take a note of exactly what wires you have taken off :) hope this helps
