I wrote Paul Cole on the xxx40 sparkplugs, answer posted below, and info on wheel kit too. I use a 4 point web sling to load and unload, with a manual come-a-long, if I don't have a helper, Northren Tools catalog for source.
Earlier post had been concerned about old/bad gas in tank. Paul offered his method, I think I will install a petcock!
Hello Don,
Great choice of generators. This has just been released for sale. When running in sub freezing temperatures, heat range on the spark plugs is more critical for starting than running. Since the engine always has a fresh and cool air supply, I would recommend using a hotter range plug such as a NGK B-6ES or B-7ES for coldest and the colder temps (40F to 70F) I wouldn’t worry about a cold rated spark plug until sustained 80f or above. The wheel kit can be ordered directly from our factory by calling the toll free no. and hit O for the operator. This will connect you to the factory parts center in CA. The kit is $25 plus shipping. It was a decision on Checkers auto buyers to keep the price lower by eliminating the wheel kit: Go figure!!
When removing the fuel, I always use an “Oklahoma credit card” (siphon hose) to drain the tank. About a 4-5 foot hose of 5/16” or 3/8” fuel line available at any auto supply will work. If you have never siphoned before, it is a matter of drawing the air out with your mouth carefully with the hose in a vertical position and then quickly lowering the hose to allow gravity to let the gas flow out.
Hope this will help you. Call or write me anytime if you need any assistance. We have a 24hr. tech line phone no. for help. The no. is 626-230-5248.
