The cables were on the battery when it came , but the electric start would not work , I called customer service and was told to Trace it back and I found it was not plugged in ! No where in the manual does it tell that there is a plug for the cables !
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works but Engine shuts off after 5-10 minutes of o
on October 23, 2022
Posted by: ww12491
Bought this as a backup generator for my house and it performs as it should under load but the engine shuts down after 5-10 minutes of operation. Doesn't trip any breakers and starts right back up after shutting down. Being brand new this should not happen for what these cost.

Today 11/20/22 Eversource lines went down, this was the first time other than running generator and testing load on gasoline. I setup the LP tank that was just filled and started up the generator. It ran with a THD of roughly Less than 1% which 8s good. We had about 2,000 watts on continuous power use, however the refrigerator would start and cause a spike in THD from 60.4 Hz to + 60.8 which caused all my UPS systems to switch over. Once stabilized the UPS shut off. However about 2 hours into operation the engine idle down, Even though the low idle switch was off and caused severe power fluctuations. I immediately disconnect our 50 amp breaker but no change in engine speed. I checked the LP line and tank, no icing with about 80% of LP remaining. I then opened the fuel valve and the gasoline picked up engine speed a little bit the gas LP switch was still on LP, I switched to gasoline, no change, I then shut the LP tank off and the generator resumed full power. After the power outage ended 5 hours in I went back on line power, and disconnect the 50 amp generator breaker. With the fuel selector switch selected to gasoline I opened back up the LP tank which immediately choked the engine down. The is a severe problem with the fuel selector and LP service line in the generator. I need this fixed please ASAP as this is a life critical backup device.

No Sound!!!!!

Hopefully, I will change my mind soon. As of now, my brand-new WGen20000 will not start. Not even a sound. Followed the starting directions. Battery charged, plenty of fuel and oil. Pushed the button with no sound. I've got a big job that requires this size machine, and I will not be ready because of this issue. Received the machine with the box already open with parts missing. Right now, it just seems like a bad expensive purchase. Does anybody have any suggestions?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
