It's been a while since I have posted on this subject and digging through all the threads to see if this has been posted would take a life time.
SAFETY CHECK for these generators. With a major concern to owners of the WEN POWER PRO 3500 models.
The fuel line from the tank to the carb. is very low quality (at least mine was) and should be checked for cracking leaking (mine was starting to leak). I question how much Nitrile is in these hoses to resist oil and aging etc.
Go to your favorite automotive store and purchase 3/16" id (4.8MM) sae 30R7 Fuel/Emission hose. It will cost around $ 1.50 per foot you only need about 6".
Better safe than sorry.
