Over all it’s I’m pleased with generator.
After following instructions of starting generator it wouldn’t start. I read again the instructions and even went to problem solving page, no help. I finally took the side panel off and noticed one of the fuel lines was totally kinked not allowing fuel to flow. Once that was fixed, I tried starting again and after a few pulls generator fired right up. I let it run for about 30 minutes. I was amazed at how quite it was.

So far so good
I bought one of these used and according to the emission sticker it's 18 months old. First thing I did was run it for 9 hours with various motor loads. Even though the manual says not to run induction motor loads in economy mode, the step motor picked up the load very quickly and efficiently. So I think I used about 3 quarts of gas in 9 hours.
I'm going over it carefully. The intake valve was fine, but the exhaust valve was way too tight. Easily adjusted.
Having the operators manual and the parts lists online is great, but having a real Generac Diagnostic and Repair Manual would be nice, too.
Think maybe we can get one of those for this model some day?

Great generator for building your home mechanic skills
I bought this generator in September 2019. Lesson 1: make sure you run this generator right away because even though the box says two year warranty, a lot of the parts are only warrantied for 30 days. Lesson 2: Before you purchase, find out who the authorized service dealers are in your local area. Lesson 3: Make sure said service dealer is a reputable business. Lesson 4: Make sure you have appropriate tools handy to repair the generator yourself. And finally, remember, these home repairs will probably void what's left of that 30 day/2 year warranty. When my parts come in, I'm hoping this will be a decent machine. Until then, good luck.

Great Value
Nice compact unit, not too heavy so easy to manouver. It is quite quiet you can stand adjacent and carry out a normal conversation. Nice that it has 12v oulet, usb outlets as well as an eco mode. Starts well in the cold so far(-6 C )4 pulls. . Comes with everything you need except gas and an extension cord.

Hasn't had real test yet, but so far works well.
Unit appears well built and sturdy. Fired right up and ran my initial tests just fine. Not quite as quiet as I had hoped, but certainly within the range of acceptable. Will see how it works when it gets real exercise at the next power outage.

Need a propane model.
This gas model is perfect for me except, I wish you had a model just like this that runs off of propane instead of gasoline. Gas spoils over time, propane won’t. Thanks!!

All gasoline generators
I recommend on using recreational Fuel in all gasoline portable equipment. And if you are going to let it sit for an extended amount of time , run a stabilizing additive In the fuel tank and start engine for about a minute or so.
To be on the safe side if the unit is not going to be in service for months I would drain fuel tank then start engine to run fuel out of all lines and also drain carburetor fuel bowl.
