Westinghouse Generator Review The WGEN9500DF (Dual Fuel) - How I use It In My Garage / Shop 

Glad you checked it out, thank you! Great piece of equipment..👍

Appreciate the watch and comment 👍, thank you.

No modifications to the ground, however I should drive a ground rod at the generator location and then ground the generator to the ground rod for added safety, I just haven't done it yet.. It works great, and LOVE the remote start feature 😁. Good luck be safe and thanks for watching and commenting. I greatly appreciate the feedback. 👍

@@ChallengeTheBuild THANKS for the quick response and good advice! God bless you and yours 🙏 🙌

I have this gen and love it, but I always have to set the choke in order for it to cold start.

Thank you for the feedback, as far as keeping it in the enclosure considering it spends all it's time outside I look at it as protecting the investment. Now as far as shortening the life span I am sure the added heat doesn't help but with routine maintenance I am sure it will perform as it should for a quite a while. Figure it only runs for generally short time periods every so often for me so heat may not be an issue BUT maybe a 12hr run with a power outage, that may be a different situation...🤷‍♂️. Thanks again for watching and commenting...👍

Same here. Need a generator to juice up my battery packs if I'm without sun for 4 or 5 days. Good to hear about the workout you've given it and performance. I'll be using propane to avoid stale gas issues as much as possible since it's not going to likely run much other than maintenance runs and won't need to run too long when it does. Can't seem to find anyone that's been running them on propane. Be nice to just know there's not issues.

@@beebop9808 we desperately need to change out our batteries they're well over 7 to 8 years old now. So I'm running generator more often than I should need to. Since this video I have put my generator in a enclosed area with a lot of ventilation. I also have a fan pointing at the generator runs off of its own power. When generators running. I generally run generator on gas because you get more power we have tried propane though and it seems to run a little less hot and a little quieter. It seems to have ran about the same as a can of gas. Although from my understanding it will not last as long if you do purely propane. Either way it sounds like you have a pretty good solar system. I'm pretty proud of mine it's just we definitely need new batteries at this point we definitely run the hell out of our generator.

@@mr.hemiroids794 Yeah those batteries are a painful pill to swallow. Don't seem to be getting any cheaper lately except for some of the small 12v packs that are useless on larger systems IMO. If you're into DIY and follow those circles, I'll put in a plug for Amy Wan. She seriously hooked me up recently on 48 A Grade 304ah EVE matched cells. Buss bars and separators delivered for just over $5k. Can't beat that with a stick.

Just buy bigger...😁... I actually wish I bought the next size up for how I use it, I really could use a little bit larger generator. The remote start is awesome! I love the remote... Great generator! I have changed the oil and a spark plug, otherwise no issues yet. Good luck on making the decision 👍.

Check out my 10 frequently Asked questions video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yyhjhib5x5E.html , and as far as filling it while running? You could do it however it's very dangerous and I am not recommending you do it. Make sure to read the manufacturer's user manual. 👍

The only thing I have done since posting this video is change the oil twice and put a new spark plug in, also turned up the governor for a specific piece of equipment I needed to run for a short time, other then that everything is running as normal with no issues and or complaints. It's a solid unit...

🤔Phew I'm not sure... I am sure there's away but I don't have an answer. I am more curious as to why the need? Are you trying to regulate voltage? Or Amperage? Or both..? And for what? 😂😂🤷‍♂️

@@ChallengeTheBuild voltage . Some said I would burn up the electronics

Ah... My brain goes to using a large surge protector, something you would wire into a main panel or something like that....I personally have not had any problems running any of my welders or plasma cutters and most of them have lcd displays and such but in regards to smaller electronics such as computers and things like that I have no knowledge... Good luck 👍

@@ChallengeTheBuild np thanks so much for responding

I don't think it's true... The build quality is better than other competitors and I haven't had any issues with mine yet... Actually it's due for an oil change..

Can't win them all. Appreciate the feedback. 👍
