Just went through the set up adding oil and fuel. Pulled three times and it started right up. Very quiet running with a load or no load. Light enough to be carried.
Received quickly without damage. Added oil, started right up and provided power to a vacuum and heat gun at same time. Real test will be during power outages!
My one problem is that the engine control switch is backwards. I have to turn the switch to "off" to start it up and turn the switch to "choke" to shut it down. It runs quietly which is nice. Looking forward to powering up some tools out in the country.
Received and after a moderate break-in with a couple oil changes, immediately put to use. Ran Lucas Safeguard Ethanol Fuel treatment. Initial quality is there and I was happy that it started and ran my 13.5 BTU A/C on our first outing. Just barely though. And there were a couple instances where the breaker did trip between A/C compressor cycles. That said, it was an incredibly hot weekend! I also had some trouble restarting between fuel changes and general rest periods that I would give it. Seemed heat related. Also, oil had to be added after approximately 15 hours of first, hard Use which I would consider normal. There also were periods of rough running, hence the initial 4 Stars. Quiet as advertised and besides a couple concerns, I think if we'll maintained, this will be a great unit, particularly with a second in parallel!
