Is this true that generator is limted to 12.5k kw on a 50 amp plug to run welder?
Trying to decide if I want this generator. I would use it to power my gas furnace in case of a power outage in winter. I have a few EZ generator switches installed already on my electrical panel that I can run extension cords to and power my kitchen lights and outlets and living room lights outlets. Currently using my predator 6500 generator to run those when power is out. I think my generator has a bonded neutral and the EZ generator switches are wired for that. Is the inverter generator a bonded or floating neutral?
I'm super stoked for you!! That's looks amazing! 🤘 Can't wait to add the next step.
@@formulaben thanks… I’m excited for them to build it as well!
Shaw lvp box coverage
Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤
@@AchikSarih you are welcome!
How many hours it has?
@@guillermo7615 I would estimate about 80-100 so far. I don’t have an hour meter on it but it is used frequently.
And what was the cause for the boat not to run fast and made it go into guarding mode.
It had a bad water pressure sensor switch which told the engine it had a water restriction and wasn’t cooling.
Thank you for letting me know. I have a warning beeping but when I go over 3500 to 4500 rpm it solid tone shut the boat off and start it up it’s fine intill I hit 3500 rpm. I’m gonna check that and what did you use to clean the switch.
You are so helpful I thank you.
Did your boat come with a cd changer and did you replace the head unit if so is there a video of it.
I removed the stereo that was above the microwave and we just stream to a Bluetooth speaker now. Much easier…
How many yards?
30 yds for the floor and footer. 30 x 50 x 6” deep.
Looking great!
Thanks! Almost there…
I’ve got to wait 6 weeks to continue this garage build series!!!
It will be worth the wait!
Looking good already
Thanks! Gettin’ there…6 weeks till the new building. Allegedly.
Finally the inspection is over
After tomorrow, I will have a place to park the helicopter!
@ 😂😂😂
Nice tool!
Thanks, it’s one of my favorites!
Looking great!
Thanks! Almost there…
Hey i have a ns8b
Great video! This is exactly what I needed to know!good stuff!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you…
You did an excellent job on this video, my friend! Very detailed and helpful...thank you! ~Clinton
@@TheWordprophet thank you for the nice comments… it worked great during Hurricane Milton!
Great Review, Thank you. I do have a stupid question, its 1600 watt, so on paper you could run 29 of the Harbor Freight 5500 lumens LED Shop Lights # 59506 because they draw 55 Watts each, Correct?
Didn’t like paint stripper and wife chewed me a new one for putting it on the transom. She uses a Puma stone. Removed all the way down to the ruff scratches in no time except the transom which had a stained from paint stripper. Stone was a brick like you use on grill. Don’t soak it in the bucket just use a wet rag to wipe off paint from stone.
Might want to keep a float charger on that battery. I don't keep mine on all the time because it can fatigue the battery over time. Instead, I put it on for a week or so every 3 months.
That’s a great idea! Thank you…
Looking good!
Thanks! Gettin’ there…
It would make it a lot easier to install the races if you put it in the freezer for a couple of hours. Since it's made to be tight fit, it will shrink just enough that you would be able to drop it in.
Cant wait
New Health Fuel movie studio !
I have this exact same boat year and model.
@@YolandaNorris-k5k We love ours… we take it out all the time! Thanks for watching…
Nice job! It’s time for my Yamaha 300’s yearly service.
Thanks! Can’t wait to try her out on Fin and Tonic!
Is that the toon? Through it had a motor.
Yes, that Is Fin and Tonic our pontoon boat. The Nissan 70 that was on there has been replaced by the Yamaha 115! I am working on getting it rigged as we speak.
I baught mine for $ 600 thats tax included. Things cost way more in 2024. But i love it anyway
It went up $40 since I bought mine, but I did have a 20% off coupon.
Cool machine v-twin.?
Yes… a beast!
You put a 90 degree. Elbow makes easy no mess
Good idea!
many of these do not have a pipe thread so you'd need to find the proper fitting with a machine thread and gasket, or one of those stubby valve things with a hose barb.
I think they make a quick drain type fitting with hose for commercial landscapers that makes weekly oil changes much easier.
@@RandomlyAwkward1 I know they do but wanted to warn people against randomly screwing in a pipe fitting and ruining the block.
Nothing like a good cross thread with an impact gun!
I use mobile 1 15w-50 in my older generator
I would replace spark plug with a ngk or champion, use no corn gas unless you have no choice 😊
When using lots of gas during an emergency, it doesn’t really matter. Otherwise I always use Ethanol free. No corn.
Wait, so you didn't change the oil after the first 5-8 of running it?
@@banderson5144 in 100 mph winds and rain? No. It had it’s debut performance for the hurricane!
@@RandomlyAwkward1 understood
@@banderson5144 additionally, it is shipped without oil so when I put the first oil in it, I used Mobil 1 as well. I tell you, this thing is a beast! My neighbors even came over to take showers because we had hot water and our well pump was running.
Oh hey yes E3 Diamond fire plugs, they are really good developed for the hot rod world and high performance engines. It's not just one spark it's 3 sparks at once. I have seen a comparison of them to normal spark plugs before and they offer a more complete burn of the fuel. The should increase efficiency by a little bit.
Thanks! I’ll have to wait until next storm to report back…
This size gen should only be bought by people living next to a gas station!, maybe with a direct pipeline to the generator. Definitely not for the average homeowner.
It was a luxury that we definitely planned for. It also helped our neighbors out as well. But I agree…$$$!
@@RandomlyAwkward1 Don't need it but if I had the money and space, I would get one anyway just because I am into generators and this one is the king! !!
Hey, good job! Seems like yours came with better spark plugs because mine came with the awful Torch brand. nice! Gap is 0.023-0.031 so that’s good. Now it’s all serviced and ready for the next hurricane!🌀
Thanks for the good advice!
Hope I don’t have to use it anytime soon.
Wow! That's life changing information
I don’t know if it’s life changing, but this generator made a bad situation tolerable (Hurricane Milton). There are lots of homeowners that don’t know how to take care of stuff so I thought it may be helpful. There is a link at the bottom to the full link video.
This is the method I've been using on my boat but my bottom paint isn't stripping off quite as nicely as yours, so I had to do a couple applications. I'm using the stripper from total boat. Them I wet sanded with 320, 600 and 800. What I've done has turned out nice. I just wish the stripper I'm using took more off on the first application. Although, the paint on my boat may just be really heavy. Looks like around 2-3 layers. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the feedback...Glad it was useful!
Thank you very much for your help now Day it helps many farmers.
Thanks for the comments!
I have the same generator and ran it for 72 hours with Milton. Piece of advice is replace the OEM Torch brand spark plugs with something else, it should take about 3 minutes based on your mechanical ability from your other videos. MAKE SURE you gap the new ones because the gap is way too small from the way the new ones came. The smaller gap will foul the plugs in 45 minutes, ask me how I know. Anyway, toss those Torch plugs in the garbage. Buy 4 champions and have 2 for spares. The champions don’t have the threaded tips like Autolite or NGK champion is a solid tip that won’t vibrate loose. The engine is made by Ducar, the same manufacturer that makes Harbor Freight engines and it’s in everything so parts are available. Motorcraft FL-400S is a good replacement oil filter as it’s cheap and twice the size as the replacement mower filters at half the cost. The battery is a Delco type with the screw in threads inside the battery. A mower battery is 35 bucks and works fine but you will need a screw, nut and lock washer on each terminal but you won’t have to buy the expensive replacement Delco terminal type battery. Just thought you might like to know these things. Oh, Diesel 10w 30 or 15w 40 is an outstanding oil for air cooled engines due to the high zinc and phosphorus content and is inexpensive. Rotella T3 is probably the best @ 14 bucks a gallon at Walmart.
Thank you for the great advice. I was going to change the oil on it tomorrow anyway so I guess I might upgrade my filter and plugs. If I make a video on it, I’ll give you a shout out for the great advice! By the way, this generator was a beast, and we had a fuel consumption rate of just over 1 gallon per hour. That was running the whole house air conditioning, all the lights, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, Internet, TV, two guest bedrooms and two bathrooms.
@@RandomlyAwkward1 Yeah, it’s a beast. I have the 50 amp running my 220 panel and the 30 amp running my 110 amp panel. It runs my well, water heater and AC and the rest of the house, dryer and all. Just put it away today and it had 73 hours and I used about 80 gallons. But….I was able to live normal and be comfortable.
why do you have to lift it. Cant you just cut the hole and slide the drain in? Does this weaking the suppport?
Temporarily lifting the aluminum track allows you to cut it flush down to the concrete. Once the cut is made you lower the aluminum back down flat. This does not weaken the aluminum and it keeps you from hitting the concrete with your cutting tool.
I just got mine on the last day of Harbor Freight’s big season sale. It’s whisper quiet and easy to use. I added a hour meter yesterday and it works great. I want to be sure I keep track of all scheduled maintenance so my 2000 is always ready and able when needed and lasts for many years to come. I recommend it to anyone that is looking for a easy to use generator that offered enough power and a pure sine wave inverter for sensitive electronics. P.s.: I order a fuel shutoff valve and will add that next. Who knows maybe I’ll eventually modify it to run on propane one day. 😊
I think it’s a great little generator for the money. When I’m done using it, I just pour the fuel out, let the oil settle, and run it until it dies. No issues with bad gas fouling the carb. Each time I use it, it starts on the first or second pull.
Wow, that’s great! I appreciate your advice about removing the gas, but do you know what size fuel hose it uses? I want to add a shutoff valve to it for long term storage. Thanks again.
How do I contact you about installing these in our lanai?
Hello, did you ever get my message about drain installation? Go to suncoastpatiodrains.com for more information.
The 14-50 is rated at 50 amps though so how are you going to use it to run every single thing in the house without tripping the breaker is the question. I have the Westinghouse 20000(28000 peak) it has two 14-50Rs. The only way to use the full power of the generator, if needed, is somehow run it in parallel. Maybe two transfer switches? Let me know what you figured out with your setup.
When the electrician wired the transfer switch, it has a 60 amp breaker installed. The generator has a 75 amp breaker and by not using everything at the same time, we are able to manage the power throughout the home. It worked great during Hurricane Milton!
I have this same issue but am hesitant to cut the frame. I'm thinking of simply sticking a couple of washers between the frame and the slab. Would that be a bad idea?
Cutting a recess in the bottom track doesn’t weaken the structure any, but I don’t think there is a problem with putting washers under it. It may make your screen loose due to the upward bow however. Also, a larger opening will allow more debris to pass through when cleaning.
Stay safe
Thank you...we got super lucky!
I feel like I asked you about that antenna before.. VHF amateur radio?
