Starting

I cannot get it started I filled oil and gas turned switch on full choke turned gas on pulled chord and it will not fire. Turned choke off pulled some more and still will not fire. I exchanged my first one for same reason. What am I doing wrong?

Small details....

Would be great if you would let people know how much oil to add when new & what is the spark plug type/number so we could buy some extras. Simple things you could print somewhere.....

this generator will provide me with the power I need

I just purchased this generator earlier this month and have not had a chance/need to use it. Assembly was minimal and easy. My # evaluation is just a guess as I have not used the generator yet.

Idle control operation

When the idle control is engaged and the generator has reduced its RPMs does the unit output frequency and voltage stay constant or is it reduced. An extended description of idle mode is desired.

Good product why not make it in USA!

I know Generac has to compete, but I'd pay extra to know my generator was made in America. Great product started on first pull. Quieter than other generators in its class.

Great features

Good value for the money. Easy to set up. Started up immediately. Did leak some gas through the carb prior to starting but probably was a stuck float.

Gets the job done!!

Just purchased yesterday. So far so good. Easy installation and set up. Great alternative to whole house generator. Will power most of your home during outages.

Pretty good portable for the price.

I ordered the generator after the storm in 2020. I had the electric panel updated to allow the generator to back feed. I have not had to use it yet but roll it out once a month to start it. I like the electric start and built in trickle charge.

Good

Really like the push button start. Took it out of the box, put oil and gas in it and it started with first touch of the button. Comes with a charger for the battery needed for push button start.
