It worked for a while, but then a few weeks after the warranty expired, it stopped working. I called them and they said they knew about the the problem with the unit but they are selling them anyway because most of the time they work for a few years. They said I'd have to buy another unit. I told them I'd search around for something that was more reliable.
Thanks, what size is inside diameter of sleeve? what did you sand it down to to insure a tight fit but alow it to go on ? was it 0.05 difference?one parts supplier on Amazon instructs to cut the original sleeve off? I can not find any videos of anyone doing this? If the sleeve has grooves like mine it seems the new sleeve will not go on properly? Also seems the seal would have to be slightly larger>? because you are adding thickness a 2nd layer of metal ?
.....You know, if you go on Amazon and find your model, and scroll down a bit, you will find two links ... one is the PDF of the manual ... the other is an operating guide ... click on the PDF of the manual ... you will likely see the detail of the electric choke, and how to reinstall the spring ... I believe there's also an 1-800-yikes number to call customer service listed in the Amazon postings for Westinghouse .....
Mine just showed up DOA, been trying to get ahold of of Westinghouse tech for a week with no luck. As of last week they finally replaced it. About 10 months later I have a new replacement.
@@robertlaw2304 OMG R U KIDDING HELL ITS BEEN LIKE 2 MONTHS ID CALL THEM EVERYDAY TILL THE MAKE IT RITE . THATS THE REAL TEST OF A CO. AFTER THE SALE DO THE JUST BLOW YA OFF OR FIX IT . WHAT DID THEY SAY?
@@raymondj8768 Im in line and they can’t give me a time table. I will probably just find someone local to fix it and pay out of pocket since we are in hurricane season now
Will the auto starter go through a glass window or door ? Everyone should have a portable generator. Exspecialy these days. Everything in a modern day home runs on electricity. And you can't count on the grid. Its getting really old now and there not spending money to up grade it. Even if they did im sure it'll have some kind of glitch.
Same here. Through Amazon, same price, about six weeks ago. Doing a test run of it all next weekend. Converted it to run on natural gas and won’t have to worry about gasoline any longer.
Omg Id love to be ur boyfriend❤

so, actually, what is stopping you from wrapping the antenna around the wire just OUTSIDE of the panel, and finding a ground outside of the box?
Is it loud enough to hear that while the generator is running? Because my generator is loud
Idea is cool, there is 0 way I would hear that with a noisey ass generator going...
the issue I am having is with the small ground wire. It's impossible to get it in that bus bar.
Strip it back 3x longer than you need and fold the conductor to get more diameter under the termination
How long is the cord? I need to install on a main panel outdoors so I’ll need to run the cord through an exterior wall and mount the device inside.
Question, in order to wrap the white sensor chord around the main power line, would i have to have my power turned off while doing it?
If your not a real careful person then, yes.
For Gods sake, HOLD YOUR PHONE SIDEWAYS LIKE ANY CAMERA. You sound old enough to know this.
Apparently you’re not old enough to not be an asshat. 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you. Fixing to do this on my boat trailer tomorrow after going to get a suitable pipe.
Didn't know this was a thing. Thanks for sharing. Will order one with the new generator.

To cut off an old sleeve just carefully use a sharp cold chisel until it splits the ring (but don't go into the spindle)
Painful af
Thanks for sharing
Connected ours to the house using Generlink transfer switch. This spring I’ll build a generator box for it …….
This device works great! The answer to knowing when the utility power comes back on especially when used with an Interlock switch setup!
DONT FORGET FUEL STABILIZER GUYS FOR THE GASOLINE .
I HAVE THE 7500 WATT MODLE I LOVE IT THE ARE SO WELL BUILT A REAL SOLID PEICE OF EQUIPMENT !
what altitude are you at
Do you have to have the switch on to work the remote control
Yes you do
Can you send me a picture of the electric choke spring,mine fell off anda I don't know where it goes

I will have to try this and I will get back to you.
YES IT WILL ERNEST
These are popular generators. Where is everyone buying these at ? I live in a very small town and all we have is a tractor supply and Lowe's.
Sams My friend. You have to be a Member to get the savings!!!
I bought mine on Amazon for $1050. Best money can buy for the power
Same here. Through Amazon, same price, about six weeks ago. Doing a test run of it all next weekend. Converted it to run on natural gas and won’t have to worry about gasoline any longer.
I got mine at Home Depot online delivered right to my home.
Bought mine through Sam's Club, a couple of weeks ago. Price $999.98 delivered.
Can i use same oil i use for my vehicles
I don't know what you have for a vehicle, but most cars today take a light wait oil... I would stick with the manufacturer suggested oil.
just purchased one myself, you nailed it in your video, very nice unit
I am extremely happy with mine for the money. I do run it once a month just to make sure everything is working
Great video!
Very nice indeed.
