I bought the 9500/12000 last year around July/August through a relative. I am not based in the U.S. Started good and then all of a sudden couldn’t start. I called a repair man who opened the engine to find out that the cam was rubbing against the engine case which broke some parts of the cam with spring and something else. After it was replaced, the generator ran well, but then it stopped turning off with the remote. The generator came with factory issues. Other than these issues, I think the generator is good. But why an aluminum coil for such generator?
I bought this generator 2 weeks ago, very nice unit. I have experienced power outages from hurricanes before but this year was the first power loss from a winter storm. Almost froze. Not gonna happen again with this generator. Also have bought a portable a/c and heater combo unit so it will run off the generator and not have to depend on the central unit.
Having the push button and remote start sure does make it easier to operate. Will have to up date upon further use but so far it's performs as expected.
After assembly and fuel and oil, turned on ignition switch, fuel valve, and plugged in battery, set choke and used pull starter. It started first pull. Tried electric start and key fob all worked well. Turned on breaker switch and tried power tools all worked, I am very happy with this 9500/12500 Make sure your oil is full, the oil shipped is not enough to fill the engine completely!
Very pleased with the overall quality. Happy it was delivered with the necessary engine oil and it came with its own battery charger. Very happy with this purchase.
