Spark plug gap question
I purchased the HF Predator 3500 generator yesterday. The manager is contacting the maker for me to clarify the oil change intervals. I will update. The manual recommends the plug gap to be .027"-....

Dont worry about the gap and the spark plug will last just about forever. The initial oil changes are very important imo. Get a few hours on it and change the oil. They probably recommend 20 to 25 hours at least for the first change. Small engines often recommended 25 hours depending on the application. My Honda is every 100 hr but I changed it at about 2 then 8 or so then 40 and then keep it under 100. You will probably see a swirled almost metallic look to the oil at first. This is important.
If you are running it under heavy load high heat conditions all the time then tend to change the oil sooner. Oil is cheap.
Edit: I went out and checked my oil change record:
2, 6, 72, 146, 325, 446, 526, 604
Thank you. I also change my oil frequently also. I run my Honda 2000's 8-12 hours at a time at my camper. Always changed it every 40/60 hours. What's 13 ounces?
Have over 3500 hours on each. Thanks again
