AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage - only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on RU-vid are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!

@danieltimisan6820
@danieltimisan6820 3 года назад
according to the manual you have to put the dial in the choke when you prime it with propane .... pull up to 5 times and then put it on run in order to start. The reason you had a hard time startining it was because you were trying to prime it with the dial on open propane .... but don't feel to bad ... I have a hard time starting it even going by the manual

I added a bolt on carburetor upgrade kit to run my 5250 watt construction type generator on propane. That carburetor has a pushbutton primer that gives a big puff of propane into the engine for cold starting. It usually starts on first or second pull. OBTW: AL - U - MIN - IUM. !!! 👍

I have a 24 year old Coleman Powermate 3500 that I also converted and has a pushbutton on the regulator for priming. It too, still starts very easily even if just sitting for years. So I'm assuming there is no push-button on the regulator that comes with this unit.

Sean....... Sean. You're not starting it right when on propane. Ya need to prime it in choke mode. 4-5 pulls in the choke setting, then, and only then, place your EZ START DIAL in the propane mode, and pull to start. Can I say it starts easier? Well, based on my experience and your video, if have to say individual results may vary. Thanks, again, for another great vid!

They can't put a 30amp receptacle on that generator Shawn. It is only a 2500 watt gen. It can only supply 20.83 amps at 120volts. A generator has to supply at last 80% of the rating of the receptacle or 24 amps for a 30 amp receptacle. A 3000 watt gen would supply about 25 amps, which would meet that requirement. 3000 W and 3500w gens are where they start installing 30 amp receptacles, if I am not mistaken. Great video, I love the propane option.

Did you empty the gas tank before testing with propane? I know nothing of what is behind that propane/gas/choke switch, but my guess is it just controls the butterfly valve in the carburetor. (I.e. no cutoff for gas tank.) So, with gas in the tank AND propane attached it could be using both???

I would really like a light weight generator that would run and power our camper and was seriously considering this unit. But having a Honda EU3000is with electric start and VERY quiet. It's a tough sell. You can run the Honda anywhere as no one can hear it. Electric start is awesome and it sips fuel. But I'm getting older and so is he wife and it takes both of us to move it around. Sooner or later we'll have to make a change...but I'm not sure this one is gonna fill the bill or not.

Do not run eco mode for larger loads, and do not run it for extended periods of time under high loads or loads that may increase and decrease (fluctuate) during the run time. You were drawing too many amps on the first test and even the second test. Limit the draw on your Victron to 15A. Batteries to run AC, generator to charge the batteries works the most consistently for me. I also use my generator (same model) mainly for tasks away from wall outlets and to recharge my solar batteries. Place the EZ start dial between gas and propane while trying to start it.

The Co2 sensor on this is very delicate. Using outside WIDE open area & within 1-2hrs of using it a little bit of wind gust came by & caused it to shut off. (Exhaust was facing into the gust of wind at the time) turned it sideways & stayed on for the rest of the event. A bit disappointing it that fact. Co2 cutoff shouldn’t be triggering this easy especially since it used outdoors. Can’t return it since I’ve added oil & gas

I had a 2000 generator for a number of years and it did a fine job as a lighting plant and occasionally running the microwave and any other appliance you can plug into a 15 amp circuit. Trying to run anything close to 13 to 15 amps causes the generator to run flat out. If you can get your A/C unit to start through technology and leave it on for extended periods of time I think is putting a pretty good strain on your generator. It works........but!. Honda has upped the game and now does not even offer a 2000 watt generator as such anymore. They have beefed up the 2000 watt to 2200 to ease the strain on that class of generator. This way they have a unit in the weight and capacity class that a lot of RVer's want. It will run your A/C without ripping its guts out. For me, I use the 3000-watt version now and it more or less idles when the 13500 BTU A/C unit is operating. If my sweetie chooses to run the microwave at the same time occasionally, it can handle it. Any research I've done brings me to the conclusion that the only manufacturers that are not playing games with the wattage numbers are Honda and Yamaha. If you stay under the advertised "continuous wattage" numbers on the less expensive models they usually do fine. Only my opinion. Happy camping.

Hi Loloho guys - another great video, but I do have a question...I remember a video a while back that Sean put out about generators that said when running a generator, it's a good idea to disconnect the house batteries unless they need to be charged because that extra load required to charge the batteries might be enough to prevent the generator from powering on the A/C unit....I may have missed it, but I don't think y'all disconnected the house batteries before trying to start your A/C unit from the "little banana". Could that have been the reason why the A/C couldn't start? Love y'alls channel!

Please tell me again how to shop on Amazon through your store. I try and then go looking for what I intend to buy (not on your Amazon store site) and it looks like I lose you. Can I put everything I'm buying into my shopping cart and then go to your page and checkout? Will that work? Thanks.

Purchased two of these last spring.. My complaints are limited to the starting on propane. It takes at least 15 minutes of back and forth on the starter process.. I noticed you have had the same issues starting it… Did you do anything to the regulator for it to start easily?

Key word stamped on unit "PARALINK" . Used with paralink kit it comes with 30 amp plug, able to give the average 30 amp RV all the power you would need.

Is it possible to start it on gas and then switch to propane? I ask because back in the 70's my uncle had a car that was converted to run on propane. He had to start it on gas before switching over. Might make things easier since it seemed to start really well on gas.

Doesn't your propane demand regulator (that big black circular thang) have a button in the center that allows you to pre-load propane into your propane hose. Mine (non-champion), I press it for about 2 seconds to load propane into the hose before I try to start it.

@@leguirerj they all should because some don't and it makes the company look bad when it's hard to start with no propane primer bulb. I have the hutch mountain kit on my 2200 watt Honda easy to start. My Baja propane only 900 watt generator also has it easy to start. But the 2000 watt non inverter and 2200 sportsman watt inverter generators don't have primer bulb very hard to start on propane. Up to 47 pulls to start it I'm wearing on the pull cords.

Something you can use that exhaust for .. if you put a 5 gallon bucket of water behund the exhaust then wait a few hours while the gen is running ..wzrmer water... some times if you insulate the bucket it workdms better .. belive it or not as long as you have wayer where tbe exhaust hits it will not melt
