Just wanted to say thank you again Sid and NotMario. Also i adjusted the governor screw to about 62hz no load but the generator still drops the Hz too low under a heavy load. I've heard people complaining about this with Harbor freight generators (read it on a forum a year or two ago), I did some google searches some people are saying 63-64Hz no load (depending on the generator) just wondering if that is or would be safe for the inverter and electronics.

Inverter should electrically be just fine up at 63-64Hz...though you will need to raise the "Hz Trim" setting back to ~60.05Hz or the inverter will drop the AC input due to overfrequency 😉.

Gotta love Harbor Freight stuff.  Hey, at least it usually works for a bit 😉.
