Buy a high end RV EMS/surge protector, plug it into 50 amp or 30 amp socket, then don't worry about that sensitive electronics issue. You can also monitor volts and amp draw with these devices. Believe me, the electronics in an RV are crap quality compared to what is in your house.
Hey y'all great video. I just fired up the 7500 and hooked into my refrigerator and the generator tripped off. The reset button doesn't reset. It's brand new out of the box. Any help would be great. Having a hurricane rt now
CON; what about putting oil in the reservoir? Horrible angle. I have to use a funnel with a wide plastic tube taped to it, because the refill angle is HORRID.😊
the run/stop switch is a weak point in the generator. Just a little bit of moister or high humidity will destroy the switch. When that switch goes bad you get some wild indicators....LOL...that switch supplies the voltage 12 volts to the system and also the ground to stop the motor. Do a search on 9500 wont start or battery light does not come on or start...
I have 30 amp fuses in my breaker box as well as a 10 gauge wire. So this generator will not be a problem plugging into my 30 amp. Electrical fuse box from what I understand?
Help needed. I bought one and it wouldn't start on gasoline. Westinghouse sent me a new carb, installed and now it runs, but there's spring leftover and there's no instructions on where it goes. Manual Exploded View A, box 11, item 11.9, part #244202. Anybody know how that fits, or have a photo of the spring in place?
Finally got a photo from Westinghouse showing where that spring fits (if you find yourself in my shoes). On black stepper motor on top of the carb, there's a small stub. Spring fits between that stub and the silver prong of the upper carb housing. The hook of the spring is against the stepper, the open end fits against the prong. Hook goes under the metal flange. If I could send a photo I would. Ping me if needed. PRO TIP - tie a piece of thread to the middle of the spring before you try to fit it in place. First couple tries the spring slipped off and the thread kept it from disappearing.
During COLD weather in the Winter of 1-3-24....i tried to Test Run my Westinghouse inverter generator 10,000 watts but it didn't start 😔👎. So Complicated to Start Up
I use started mine up yesterday for the first time. I bought it 11/22 and just put the engine oil and gas in, plugged the battery charger in and it started right up.
When you talk about this not putting out a pure sine wave, exactly what are you basing this on? Did you actually fry something in your house simply by using this generator as intended? What did you damage?
@@condor5635 I guess you're intelligent because you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. Do you think 60 Hz that the electric company is supplying you with is stable? Think again.
Replace the crush washer every oil change and you shouldn't have any leaks. I hear ya on the sensitive electronics. Already fried my ovens panel when the power when out last time. I didn't have a generator so maybe when the power came back on it killed it. $400 part. 🤦♂️
So, it's Better to buy an inverter Generator if One concerned about Sensitive electronics appliances..... That's Why I am checking out at this time... within my Budget.
Exactly! He shouldn't criticize the generator he bought. It works fine. If he was concerned about the generator's effect on sensitive electronics, he should have bought an inverter generator right up front. It's important to match the generator purchased with your needs or expectations.
@@garyt534 Nailed it. I have this exact generator with a house interconnect and it works great. But I know not run or charge sensitive electronics when running the generator so I have an EcoFlow that has more than enough juice to power a TV, DVD player and two laptops and also charge multiple cell phones and tablets. And I can recharge the EcoFlow with the generator or with solar. As you said, know what you need.
@@sidneywhite749 there's usually a wire going directly from ground to neutral simply remove it. Your house is bonded at the breaker box by code you can only have one bond area

Thanks i'll look into that
I plan on hooking this up to my home. What EMS/surge protector do you recommend? Does the surge protector plug directly into the generator?
@@enlightenedone1633 They do make them that will plug right into the generator. I purchased them from Amazon.

Nice review. Crush washers on drain plugs are a one time use item. Every time you change the oil you should use a new crush washer.
Good to know, thank you
Where I get those crush washers
Although technically correct I have used the same washer multiple times without any issues over many years
What is the torque spec on the drain plug? Where can I get a magnetic drain plug and dipstick? Where can I get the crush washers?

Can u tell me how u managed to make it work mine does not work on gas
I BELIEVE THEY ARE MADE BY YAMAHA..VERY GOOD

Is there any sort of after market inverter that can be put inline?

I can't find an oil filter replacement or an oil filter location. Does this exist on this model?
There is no oil filter for this model
@@applisense Thank you!
What’s the name of that cover? You have to protect it and where did you get it?
Gentent
The electric company has more dirtier electricity than that generator any day of the week.
That's why I have pure sine wave ups units all throughout the house
You don’t know what you’re talking about. Littlet6220.

@@littlet6220 - yes I do. I ran essentially spot on 60Hz average for 3 hours after running and testing my gen for 2 hrs when it ran at 61.5 Hz average

@@garyt534So now I Bought a Westinghouse inverter generator 10,000 watts and Converted to NG during an Outage. Now I feel better 😅
@@John-tx1wk don't understand "sensitive electronics," all electronics are Sensitive.
You can install a surge protector on the plug
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
Any idea what size crush washer is needed for the oil drain plug? Thank you
Sorry I don't remember. But the big take away is that the problem wasn't with the crush washer. I have another video on the channel that details this.
What pure sine wave inverter to use if your going direct to the house?
*Bringing to the top: If you connect to the house, remove the unit ground.
Generator no sine, inverter sine. Look at the dual fuel Westinghouse
Helpful, well spoken. Thank you.
Will it charge the starter battery when the generator is running??
Yes it will
What is the brake-in like? How often do I change the oil? Mine comes today?
you need to remove the bond to ground if your doing a whole house power.
More info please, I have this generator hooked to my house panel.
@@sidneywhite749 there's usually a wire going directly from ground to neutral simply remove it. Your house is bonded at the breaker box by code you can only have one bond area
Ya..
Depends on your transfer switch too
thats true the switch probably removes it inside the switch@@lbellon9772
Change drain plug washer ever time your drain oil .
