*Great **Generater.Systems** . Our 1st 2500W Champion backed us up with hurricane Ida last August when our whole home generator crapped out after 8 days. Love the dual fuel. Hope to never run gasoline in it.Bought this 2500W to parallel with our other one for the RV.*

I now own two of these (one as backup to first as generator is my primary power source.)
First gen currently has over 2, 000 hours on it. (Added Chinese inductive pickup hour meter as gen does NOT have hour meter.) Gen usually starts first pull. I run about 12-14 hours every day. Only additions I made to what you stated in video were
1. Add a 8mm diameter x 5mm long N45 magnet to each drain plug. (Just a drop of super glue on end of an oil free plug will hold magnet. Wipe clean every oil change.)
2. One teaspoon pure molybdenum disulfide powder one time treatment on third oil change. (This from direct experience with other gens. Have gotten over 4, 000 hours per engine and upon teardown the engine looks nearly new inside!)
Drain plug positioning is dumb! The front one doesn't want to come out at all without removing front motor mount. Rear plug is better, but still barely get 10mm box wrench on it.

Great video! Harbor freight is great. We just bought their 2500 psi pressure washer. We love it. Got it with the 2 year replacement warranty and a 20% off. Great washer. Our washer has the same size engine that your generator does.

just got one for free, been sitting 3 yrs outside with half a tank of fuel, i dumped a bottle of carb/fuelinjection cleaner in the tankj a shot of starting fuel, 2 pulls and away she goes runs like a champ! try this before people tear it all apart.

Got one yesterday on sale for $259 at harbor freight, it runs smooth and quiet, first crank starting.

i run my generator for about a week straight never shutting it off, after the week i dump the oil and only run pure 30w Valvoline VR1 Racing oil as its great for high temps and has high zinc which is great for push rod engines, has over 1200 hours on it and runs like a champ

I run this generator on my 18 wheeler so I don't have to idle my truck all night. It runs my heater, block heater, and battery charger. Works great!

Good video. I just picked up one the other day. I've been watching videos all over you tube about this model and I'm glad I chose to buy one. You did a good job explaining how to set up and keep it running well.

Understand that in US, law allows highly-refined natural oil to be marketed as "100% syntheic". Only Europe and other places in the world is "100% synthetic" actually what it says it and detailed video....kudos

Bought the same Generator about a year ago you can't beat it on sale for $289  also replaced the spark plug with an NGK plug

What’s the difference in models? I have a Predator 8750/7, 000 running watts Generator and when I look online there are several different model numbers of the same generator I have all the same price!

[terryandteresa]

I ran mine 3 times for 20 minutes letting it cool down completely in between. Then I changed the oil. All metal burrs and machining scraps are now out. Know I'll run it for 3 hours.

[josemelara]

great video, but I have a question, how do you ground it when you out in the woods? I hope you can reply soon.

[larrywalden]

Why would it need to be grounded to just start it and let it run at idle for 3 hours break in run time? If not plugging anything into it, what's the purpose of grounding?

[faffaflunkie]

I would suggest 15w40 _truck oil_ for the _high zinc_ content since there is no catalytic converter to foul. By the way- nice wheel design.

[pay]

I've always thought that you could probably leave your frig off for a substantial amount of time as long as you put the perishables (like milk) into the freezer compartment. This might allow you load up the generator with another appliance for at least an hour and probably more. Just try not to open it while it's not cooling.

[joseescudero]

Good afternoon. sorry I have a question, I have a machine to polish floors and connected to the generator at the input of 120 volts and the circuit breaker protects the generator does not resist, what do I do. I can connect my machine to the input 120/240 volts but my machine does not have that type of input. but if I connect it in this input, it will not burn my machine.

hi Richard Lioyd i have the predtor Generators 4000 watt portable 3200 running watts n 4000 peak watts what the best type of oil to should i use we live upstate ny where the winter gets really cold up here what the best oil to use in the winter in case our power go out and were the does the ground wire hook up on the side of the Generator how far should the oil be on the dipstick

[Krod]
