I was anxious to try out the new Genny today. After talking with the sales person (Pep Boys) he informed me that all of their equipment are filled with oil. Well, after checking the oil I found that there was very little oil in the case. After filling it up, it fired up on the second pull. This Genny is the same as many others as it will shut down or will not start if oil level is low.
I am very pleased with how well the ELIM 3000 runs. It starts easily and it is MUCH quieter the comparable units that I have seen used by Camping Folks. I had it running in the bed of the truck. (It was much quieter than my next door neighbor's power washer which was running at the same time).
However, I am not impressed with the owner's manual. My wife and I got a good laugh while reading! I hope they are not paying their Illustrator a high salary! But after considering what I have, there are not too many things (engine) that can go wrong that couldn't be fixed easily by a small engine "Guru". As far as the electrical side that remains to be seen.
All I could do with the unit today was let it run for about 15 minutes. I did plug in a Shop Vac and it worked fine.
Since my camper is not at the house I have to take the Genny to the campground next weekend for the "Big Test".
I will follow up when I try it out again.
