Powerful and Quite

from Placerville, Ca
Started on third pull out of the box and one easy pull there after.
Runs quite and a long time on one tank of gas.
It puts out a lot of power for a small, light weight package.

Nice Generator Happy With Purchase
on January 22, 2021
Posted by: oilburner
from Currently in San Diego county
I have had the generator for about a month. I have close to 30 hrs. on it so far. I am very happy with the machine. It powers my boat battery charger and the refrigerator and 2 burner electric stove. Also powered my friends off the grid house running all the lights and large screen TV.... And the Microwave. It runs a long long time on a gallon a gas. I was running it around 50% load and less than a half gallon of fuel lasted around 6 hrs.
I did have a problem right out of the box though. I filled the gas and then started the generator for the first time. It started leaking fuel. I turned the generator off and the leak stopped. I removed the side cover looking for the leak as I turned the fuel back on. It looked to be leaking somewhere behind the carburetor. I lightly tapped on the carburetor float bowl. Was still leaking and could not tell from where. Turned the fuel back off. I removed more of the covers until I could get a better look and found it leaking between the carb and the engine.
With that I realized it was a stuck float. easy..I can forgive a stuck float. Poor baby must have had a rough ride getting to me. I rapped sharply on the float cover with the handle of my screwdriver and the float broke free and the leak stopped. I reassembled the outside covers and started the generator and it ran great.
I changed the oil at about 10 hrs. and again at 20 hrs.
I have been running the methanol free fuel, and I run it till its empty. I learned to be careful about how much fuel I put in as a little goes a very long way.
I am so impressed with this little generator. Its well built. Light weight, Quiet, and starts easy.

Very Quiet

This is my second Westinghouse Inverter Generator. I bought the model igen2500 to use with our RV. It unboxed in great shape and started on the 2nd pull. This inverter generator is very quiet.
