Two things come to mind, (1) the unit is carrying too much of a load. Unplug everything and try again, and (2) the inverter assemble is defective and needs to be replaced (most likely cause if nothing is plugged in). (Still under warranty?)

My outdoor led lights work when plugged in individually but wont work when plugged into each other to make a continuous string of lights. Why?

The transformer is likely sized for one string and is being overloaded by adding the additional lights.

LEDs require a transformer that converts household AC(alternating current) to DC(direct current). The minimum amperage produced by the transformer, must exceed the minimum amperage required by all of the LEDs or none of them will emit light.

I have a Sycamore 7000 EC,it has 16 hrs. on it, it runs but no power to House, earlier in the day it was working, now it isn't. motor is running, but no power out.

check the circuit breaker on the unit for overload
the unit only produces effective 6000 watts continuous and if everything is used , that will be exceeded and the overload will trip

Generator will not stay running

The toggle switch automatically resets all faults when it is turned to the off position. I would turn the toggle switch off, turn off the breaker on the generator and then turn off all the loads in the house except a few lights. Turn the generator breaker back on, then turn the toggle switch back to automatic. If it starts and stays running, you were overloading the generator. Turn on other loads slowly and keep track of what is on so you don't overload it again. If it still does not stay on, you may have a problem with the panel. Let me know what happens.

The standby power light is on but when I turn on the system it wont start up. It begins to with lighting up the volume lights but then shuts down again...

Generally speaking, an amp attempts to protect itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on; or it may turn on but produce no audio to the speakers.

Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.

You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.

If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.

If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'nekkid'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced and competent hands-on tech.
