Westinghouse iGen2500 One Year Review 

My two Honda 2000 inverter generators run ok at 9600' elevation in Colorado. I've never had to re-jet the carburetors. They definitely have less power at higher elevations, I have to run both of them when using the microwave. Great update and I enjoyed meeting you both at Lake Mineral Wells a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the great video and sharing your story!! Here's to another year!

Thank you for the generator information. You are still teaching class!!

Good to know the information about generators and altitude thanks for the info

Awesome videos ladies I always enjoy your videos

Interesting, wife and I just spent 10 days at Big Lake, AZ 9000-9400' and had zero problems with our iGen2500. Rained 5 days straight, so it got lot's of use since solar was out of the question. I still wish I'd have bought a Honda, only for the quietness of their unit. Just wasn't in the budget. Always feel guilty using it if others are camped nearby.

It's weird that some work & some don't . I live at 8K feet in SW CO and have a 2000 watt Wen. We often camp at well above 8K but it works fine with no modification (knocks on wood). Keep the great videos coming.

Great information! Thank you! Keep up the great work!

Thank you!

It is common in all carburetored engines to have issues at high altitude the degree varies

Nice to watch your video and hear about your generator experience. All vehicles these days have fuel injection with a computer to automatically compensate for elevation, air density and ambient temperature. Nearly all small engines do not because that technology adds too much bulk weight complexity and cost. Any engine which is equipped with low tech carburetion needs to have a high altitude kit installed aka rejetted otherwise it won't operate correctly at high elevation. One may be able to get it to run without the mod but operating with the wrong fuel air mixture will eventually cause engine damage. For the RV-er who camps at high elevation it might be best to carry an extra 50 lb inverter generator with the high altitude kit installed. I have 80 hours on my igen2500. It is both very easy and real important to use the screw provided on the carburetor float bowl to drain it when not being used >60 days. It's in the manual. Also drain the tank.

This is very interesting and disappointing at the same time

Always run them with 93 octane gas, and in a 2 gallon gas can add from a shot glass, 2 shots of seafoam and 2 shots of WD-40, it removes water from the gas, and seafoam keeps the carburator from gumming up, it also keeps the carbon from building up inside the exhaust system, Over 900 hour use, never use lower rated gas or high mileage oil..
