    Great video and some valuable information. I just purchased the very same generator from Tractor Supply to replace a smaller one that I loaned out to a friend who lost power during Helene. My main concern is to have power for my two refrigerators and freezer. Another thing I liked about this generator is that it comes with an “RV ready” plug. When out of power, we can gravitate to the RV where we have propane, water, sanitation facilities and heat/air along with stove/microwave. I think I’m going to love this inexpensive generator. It’s good to know that you have had yours for four years without any issues. Hate to criticize you, but I always turn my gas on/off valve to off while still running and let the engine burn the gas up out of the carburetor. I have never had problems if done this way. Thanks again for such a good detailed video. Would like to know what kind of camera you are using? The video and sound effects are spot on! God bless… Russ South GA

This model has a knock sensor that will not let it start/run if oil is low. I had checked the oil and thought it was OK, but NO, has to be a "just right" level. A little oil added and it purred.
