Read the manual

I did the 5 hour break in with variable loads under 50% and changed the oil which was silvery dirty, so do that. Starting with propane says push the button 3 times on the regulator, choke, pull till firm and pull to start then turn off choke, pull till firm and pull to start. Repeat process till starts. This helps!!! usually on the 2nd pull it will start instead of just pulling and pulling. Having a full tank of propane works best too. Thinking of installing a soft start on my rv air conditioner but bought this mostly as a portable propane inverter clean power generator to charge my 2 solar generators that won’t charge with my old non sine-wave generator.
Seems light without gasoline :)

I bought this two weeks ago and just gave it its trial run. Seems to be working well so far. Very easy set up. Seems to be high-quality, but time will tell.

I'm so glad I bought this inverter, powered everything I needed, and runs so much quieter than a regular generator

Very Disappointed

One of the significant reasons I bought this generator was because I believed it had 4 positions on the Start/Stop Switch - Choke, Run, Fuel Shutoff, and Off. The Fuel Shutoff position is missing on the actual unit but is shown in the advertising. I thought the Fuel Shutoff would be a great feature. This missing feature is a big deal to me because small engines should be run out of gas each time they are shutdown so very little fuel remains in the carb bowl to gum up things. Now, I will need to remove the side cover and manual drain the carb bowl after each shutdown which is not what I was expecting based on what was represented in the units advertisement photo. I’ve attached photos as support that what I am saying is accurate.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Like the dual fuel options

Despite my husband's insistence on buying a new generator and me nagging him incessantly to test it out to make sure it worked before it was too late to return it, he waited 6 months to do so. When he had no luck starting it, I was not happy for the above reason. After some troubleshooting without luck, I suggested he try our grill propane tank vs. the large one in our yard, just in case there was a problem with it (as we rarely use it). That worked, thankfully so we are relieved. We have not tried it with gasoline, but appreciate the versatility. Hurricane season is coming and now we are ready. It is common to lose power so this will come in handy to power a fridge and some fans. Once our large propane tank is refilled or fixed, we will be in good shape for maximizing how long it will last before running out of fuel. We also bought the umbrella shade to go with this. We had bad luck with our last gasoline generator of a different brand. This one has good reviews so I am hoping it lasts.
