  • Today we test out the predator 1400 watt generator. We test a few loads and examine the waveform using an occiloscope. This generator is awesome due to its small size and light weight, perfect for camping, or just taking on the go, personally I will be using it to charge my off grid solar power system when the sun isn’t out.

    Great video! Hope to see more generator review videos in the future! I'm skeptical of which one i should purchase, just not sure of how big of a load i may have, ya know

    If you are breaking the engine in, you may not want to run it under load.

    Seeing people use 10w30 in an air cooled engine makes me cringe. I realize the manufacturer recommends it but they aren't doing you any favors.
