Excellent generator for a great price!

Ordered this generator on 10/22 and finally received it on 11/8, but I wasn't in a hurry for it either. I also ordered the high altitude kit from Westinghouse and got it before the generator, I removed side panels and checked to make sure my choke stepper motor was plugged in and it was secured with a zip tie. I then removed the battery and made sure it was topped off with a trickle charger. Then pulled the carb off and installed the proper jet for my altitude, and a new NKG iridium spark plug, (oil too) put everything back together, installed the battery after sitting on the charger all night put some gas in it and she fired right up and purred like a kitten, let it run for a couple of minutes and shut the gas off and let it shut down that way. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and know I have a reliable generator for a fraction of the money.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excited to be ready for hurricane season

Very easy set up (I'm a widow and on my own and was concerned about being able to handle it by myself). It's pretty heavy (about 100 lbs.), but I was able to get it out of the box with only a few grunts. The directions were clearly explained for the initial set-up and it even came with the oil needed. I haven't run it yet, but am confident that it'll be exactly what I need.

Ease of use

Read the manual and follow instructions accordingly and this little beast will last you a lifetime. Be sure to stabilize the fuel before storage and pull the spark plug, add 1 teaspoon of oil, replace plug and pull until you feel compression resistance and leave it like that. Leave plug wire off to prevent accidental startup.
I plan on purchasing another unit for my campsite. I know my stuff…go get ya one

Great generator

When I first started it up it sputtered and kept stalling. I thought it was the infamous choke cable, but when I checked it was fine. Then I noticed there was a lot of gas leaking on the ground. Turns out there is a carburetor drain. Once I closed that it purred like a kitten.
