I had a generac primepact 50G, 4800 watt gas generator and absolutely hated it. Worst generator i've ever owned. There were tons of problems with it. First one was the arm that controls the engine speed broke(made of very thin steel)while I was on a week-long camping trip, boondocking and had no power for most of the trip. Made the trip miserable. So I welded it back together and away I went. Then, the carburetor started leaking from the float bowl rubber gasket. Guess what, can't buy parts for the carburetor. But you can buy a new carburetor for lots of money. Also, this genny was VERY hard to start all the time. Crank, crank, crank, and sometimes crank some more before it would actually start. It was all dialed in and tuned up, just a steaming pile of junk. All this with a full tank of gas, clean filters, topped up oil, etc. Never again.
I had the exact generator with mostly the same problems. Could not keep it running while driving down the road either. It was the worst experience I ever had. Dealing with the authorized Generac dealer was a nightmare as well. Finally paid for a brand new onan 5500 installed. 600 hours later, it is still running perfectly.
I know this is an old thread but what did the new Onan cost you and to have it installed?
Also still have the Generac and still have issues keeping it running. I'm really considering replacing.
