I just bought one of the predator motors for a replacement on my garden tiller.
:h I sniffed the tank wondering if it ever had fuel in it. Smelled nothing. however it started on the first pull right out of the box also.
I also have the open frame Predator for back up power for the house, but hopefully it will never have to work for a living.
I also have no complaints on my champ inverter which I bought before the predators really came into being.
Now i regret not getting the 3100 inverter right out of the chute. Like you did, I would have the power with one unit. I scoff at the weight since I have a manual cherry picker (engine hoist) and a front loader for the lifting and it would stay put in the pick up bed.
