Need a great storage rack - check this one out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C5bP2D5iGo8.html

I use this generator for my car show events where electricity is not available. Great little and reliable generator. It powers our two huge PA speakers and wireless mic 🎤 system. It only has one outlet but bought the cord with 3 plugs 🔌 coming outta one. Zero issues in 4 years!!

Thanks for sharing

@missyrubio5099 3 года назад

We may need to get one of these!!! Perfect when we lost power here.

@DIYOnTheHouse 3 года назад

It is super easy to use, I can even do it!!

@samwilson2797 3 года назад

I got one and it almost broke my are when starting it. Read the instructions closely, no closelyer, pull the rope until it is tight - let it take up the cord, then pull. I finally got it started and it ran for three hours, nd now works fine.

@DIYOnTheHouse 3 года назад

Good to hear that it is working fine now! We really use ours a lot!

@John-rw2zf 3 года назад

WARNING. The owners manual for this unit states that you must use a LINE CONDITIONER if you plan to use this generator to power sensitive electronics such as computers and TV'S. The line conditioner will regulate the flow of electricity and also provide surge protection. They are a common piece of equipment. Not super expensive. Good thing to own for home and office use even if you don't have a generator. It will protect your expensive electronics.

@DIYOnTheHouse 3 года назад

Thanks - I will look into that!

I buy the already mixed fuel in a can for all my 2 cycle power equipment. The gasoline that comes out of the pump in most places is full of ethanol, and will burn up a 2 cycle engine no matter how much oil you mix in it. Ready mixed can fuel isn't cheap, but it will help save your engines from ruin.

@dawkinsrealityshow4692 3 года назад

What is the name of that ready mix oil I'm can it be used in one of those small generators?

@Lex5576 3 года назад

@@dawkinsrealityshow4692 I buy TruFuel in the red can, 50:1 ratio. You can get it at Lowe's and some other stores. I've been using it for years and it keeps all my small engines running in good shape.

@jonnybravo9003 2 года назад

Just buy ethanol free fuel and mix it with a good 2 stroke engine oil. I like Echo Red Armor 2 stroke oil. I use 90 octane Ethanol Free. And it works phenomenal for any 2 stroke engines.

Glad you got one! Yes you can, as long as it is the correct ratio.

@helpAmerica1 3 года назад

I have 3 generators, small 1K medium 3 K and large 9k the small one is astounding for GPH, 82 minutes on 1 leter at 6.6 amps (affordable) the medium unit we use for making dinners etc The large one we use to operate the deep water well and warm the hot water tank on low loads this thing really sucks fuel.

@DIYOnTheHouse 3 года назад

Sounds like you have quite the set up!!

@reesebobby99 3 года назад

would like to see if it could power an air compressor, electric weedeater or blower for extended periods, and a window ac unit. Good video

@DIYOnTheHouse 3 года назад

You would need to check the wattage of each. I don't believe this one would do an ac unit -- but you may be close on the weedeater? We did a blower and it worked.

@michaelbrinks8089 3 года назад

I really wish it was just a little bigger for like $25 more. Like 1000watts with 1200 surge starting watts, that way it could run a 5,000 btu window air conditioner without struggling when the AC compressor motor kicks on. A $200-$250 Sportsman 800w running/1000w surge is barely enough to run a window AC for double the money but it only lasts as long as a well maintained 2 stoke Tailgater.The generator head in each one will only last a set amount of time due to moving parts that wear. The Tailgater says mix 50 to1 but I'd run it 40 to 1.

@carltabor9152 3 года назад

It will run a small 5000 BTU AC.

I have been looking for one on the tailgaters but can't find one

I don't know why they stopped selling them. If you go to Amazon and type in 900 watt 2 cycle generator, some come up Identical to the tailgator just different color.

@m.a.f.m.a.f.2428 2 года назад

can it power a refrigerator or washer and dryer? and for how many hours does the power last?

@DIYOnTheHouse 2 года назад

This one would not be powerful enough for those appliances.

@dieselbossbrandon Год назад

@@DIYOnTheHouse those generators are underrated. I've ran a full size refrigerator for hrs and no prob. However don't run two full size refrigerators I snapped the driveshaft to the generator part running 2 but it actually did it for 10 minutes I couldn't believe it. But running one refrigerator is about max for it. Maybe a small LED light too and that's it if you need it in a Black out

Hi How long will it run out of gas if I'm using a PC and Printer?

@DIYOnTheHouse 3 года назад

I think when we ran it for consecutive time while camping, we got several hours off a tank of gas.

@robertpapps3618 3 года назад

This is not an inverter generator so not recommended for sensitive electronic devices.

@captainjohn7833 3 года назад

What about in a 2 or 3 or even week long power outrage.what about a lamp with a 40 or 60 watt bulb and a small box fan? Perhaps a TV, maybe charging my cellphone. Is it going to damage it? These are the only times I would need it. I don't think I would be worrying about blowing leaves off the driveway or vacuuming the floor. 🚬👓...

@DIYOnTheHouse 3 года назад

I ran this generator for 4 hours continuous three days in a row, when we were camping with out any issue. For a week outage like you are saying, I'd spend some $ on a Honda. Or buy a couple of these in case one goes down you have a spare.

@josheltrokero6228 3 месяца назад

Will this work with a 2000 psi power washer

@DIYOnTheHouse 3 месяца назад

It depends on the wattage on the washer.

How long can it run with a single gal of fuel?

@DIYOnTheHouse 3 года назад

Roughly 4 to 5 hours at 50% (not at full throttle)

@sashanealand8315 11 месяцев назад

how long does it run on a tank of gas?

@DIYOnTheHouse 10 месяцев назад

About 4 hrs 1/2 loaded. Depends on what is plugged into it and the amp draw.

@arkansasmountainman 3 года назад

Be aware that you should NOT power any electronics with this. The power it produces will damage electronics of any kind. It won't necessarily ruin them immediately but it will damage the electronics and cause failure sooner or later. I saw a video here that showed the output of this generator on an oscilloscope and it doesn't provide "clean power" (most cheap ones are like this) and a more expensive one does have the "clean power" required by electronics. (Costs are higher because it's more expensive to make them) Just remember many things other than simple tools contain electronics in timers, speed adjusters, controls etc. A simple item with just a switch and a motor will probably work fine but an electronic variable speed control on something like a router, refrigerator, TV or radio (possibly even compact florescent lights) would be ruined by this generator. The problem is the sine wave created showed the fluctuations are higher than a more expensive generator. Look up on a search engine about cheap generators and electronics.

@JesusRoseAgain 3 года назад

The generator runs electronics just fine. Most switching power supplies convert the 120VAC to DC before being regulated. Does not need a smooth sine wave. To reduce RPM fluctuations, run at 3/4 choke to have more stable voltage.

@OU812NVME 2 года назад

...most charge a battery bank and take electricity from that...can charge it with a generator or solor power pad...or just buy a condenser for cheap to level out power rythems ...

@JesusRoseAgain 3 года назад

Runs electronics just fine. Electronic chargers do not need sine wave that's a myth. They internally convert the 120vac to dc anyway

@kylekarcher 3 года назад

@@JesusRoseAgain Your write and wrong it will convert it but it's not a steady wave in this style of generator. I'm an industrial electrician and I'm not talking out my ass. I'm not saying it wont work but you're taking a risk with using electronics with this generator. If your going to only charge it when the device is off and don't use it while its charging.
