This generator is unbelievable runs smooth and stand next to generator have conversations. Quiet operation. I love it. The best part is you can start with remote.
Works great now, but I had two problems. No. 1---the 30 amp connector is installed upside down, so, using a right angle male connector the cable faces up. Not a major issue. No. 2---the unit started and ran perfectly the first time I tried it. The next day we had a power outage, but when I started the unit it ran very rough, had no output, and smoked a bit. I assumed the automatic choke was stuck engaged. I removed the side cover and found what I thought was the problem. A metal tube around the spark plug wire had distorted a smaller tube next to it because of interference. I corrected this and also tapped on the carburetor since I could not locate anything that looked like an automatic choke. Don't know which action worked but the unit ran correctly after that and I have now run it about six times with no issues. Hope that is the end of the problem.
Just received my I Gen 4500 and am very impressed so far and have not even started it yet. It is a beautiful Generator and am sure it will perform perfect for my Travel Trailer I am so glad I spent a bit more to get more power and wattage. Is is a bit heavy but moving it is quite easy with the handle and Built in Wheels.
