I just received this generator. I assembled it....which was easy....and started it up. It seems to be running fine. I hope it last me for quite some time to come
Just recently received the little generator and after looking it over I noticed some minor damage in transit. Nothing serious I don’t think. Maybe removing the ground prior to shipping it, or throwing a little extra packaging around the ground would have prevented the damage. But as I said- it’s relatively minor and won’t affect the operation of the unit. The generator itself produces what I believe to be more than enough power for many scenarios where portable power is needed. It easily fits in the back of my truck bed with the cover panels down and locked in place. Am looking forward to many years of usage out of it.
Within a year the carb float got stuck, tried to start and fuel poured out of the bowl.

The portable generator was well packaged and had easy to follow instructions. The generator didn't start the first time but after waiting an hour it started easily. Must have gotten flooded and had to dry out. Every time since it readily starts on the first pull. I would suggest that the Quick Start Guide include a section on properly grounding the generator before starting it.
