Disappointing
on June 30, 2020
Posted by: Jim968
from Pennsylvania
From the beginning. As per Instructions I "pour the entire bottle of oil into the engine" and a couple of ounces overflow on the floor. No problem, just some oil. I drained down to correct level. Fast forward to engine start.. It will not stay running. An hour and a half later I've taken all 4 sides off of the unit. Found 2 motor mount bolts about to fall out, checked entire fuel system to find varnished fuel in the float bowl, and the main jet in the carburetor was pluged. making the unit only run with the choke on. After cleaning the carb, tightening bolts and reassembling everything It runs fine. Hooked up to the camper for a couple hrs. with lights, A/C, and Microwave running... All was good.
However, I need to have the Illuminated Power switch on the Control Panel in the "ON" position to have the unit work with the Key Fob Remote. The Instruction book only mentions that Switch if you pull start with the rope, or use the start button on the panel. Maybe I need to look inside for something unplugged.
Bottom line, when you get it running it performs quietly. But, the folks on the assembly line need to step up thier game.

Just purchased and can not believe how quiet it is and how easy set up was! We haven’t used it yet but will this weekend for camping! The remote feature makes it so convenient as does the handle and wheels for moving it!

Very quiet easy start

I got the generator for camping so being quiet was important, got the unit ready and it started with one pull. I pull started to see how easy it would start. Just ran it for about an hour today and plugged in a small air compressor and it did not phase it at all. Great product so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!
