My Elim3000 arrived today. 6 days to get it to Canada, not bad. Mind you I paid almost as much for shipping as I did for the Gen. Anyway, onto the Generator itself.
It arrived on it's side, there was no "THIS SIDE UP" label on it anywhere, so I could imagine why VicT had the oil all over his. Mine had a bit of oil on it, but I washed it all off by overfilling it with gas...oops!
Takes very little oil (500ml or so - thats 1/2 a quart for you yanks;-)). It runs great, no smoke, all switches in tact, starts easily.
For any other Canadians thinking of buying this gen, I got it off of ebay from ELiminternational, total cost to my door, $573.23 CDN. That includes taxes (and Sask has a 7% PST), duty, brokerage fees, etc. I am quite happy.
My DW and Dkids have the TT in the CG right now, I am working nights, so I'll test it out running the A/C etc, and report back.
One more thing..thanks professor95
