Hi Jim,

My Kipor 2800 watt would reliably start at -27 C.

I think an email to either Honda, Yamaha or Champion is in order Don.

Hi Jim,

My Kipor 2800 watt would reliably start at -27 C.

From PTs other threads I am guessing he may need it in sub zero weather. I don't have any experience at all running any genset very far below 0 that I can recall.

Mine starts down in the single digits no problem (at home typically just to satisfy the monthly maintenance). The coldest weather I camp in is 20F at night and usually full hookups. We don't boondock in the winter.

Hi,

Unfortunately built in is not an option.

good news is you are now free to buy a good gen set {Y/H} when not limited to a built in. :B

Hi,

I second adding a built in Onan.

I'd guess the little starting battery is the limit in the equation, because it doesn't have much power in it, and any more than a few seconds likely would damage its flooded cells.
