Just a follow up. I ran my new Smarter Tools ST-GP 9500 yesterday for the first time. (I have modified it to run on propane or NG as well as its intended fuel, gasoline.)
I ran it for five hours to make sure it operates fine electrically before I complete the propane mod by trilling bolt holes in the frame.
It ran flawlessly out of the box for five hours under various loads up to about 60% capacity. That said, there was a flaw... the battery had completely discharged during the five hours!
Smarter Tools Customer Service has been great during the past few months. They E-mailed my an electric schematic, answered numerous questions, and has made the task easy!
They had me make a voltage check, even sending me pictures and instructions as to how to do the check. with that result in hand, they are UPS ing me the replacement diode and detailed instructions.
Off course, I could take it back to Costco but where's the challenge in that?
After correcting this issue, I will again run it on gasoline to very the repair and next I will finish my US Carb Snorkel Kit install and run for five more hours at various loads on propane.
I finally did go back and read almost all of this thread from the beginning. If I had not found this thread I have to wonder if I would have proceeded.
