CPE Digital hybred model 100302

Is this the 4000 peak/3500 running model? I don't believe its an inverter and fairly noisy at 68 dba. Sure you want this one?

I can't find the percent of Harmonic Distortion on your unit. Makes be nervous when its over 3% and I'm using it for my RV.

the Digital Hybred
is an open frame 'INVERTER' model

an inverter generator with out the completely enclosed noise reducing box

it is a NEW model from Champion Power Equipment

Thank you, Mr. Wizard.

Ok so your saying that the engine is not a gx copy ?

I can't say for sure, but based on the parts diagram in the manual available online for the generator, I don't think you'll be able to add an electric starter. The flywheel does not appear to have ring gear teeth, as is common in many small engines, so there's no way for the starter motor crank the engine. Maybe that's just a limitation of the detail in the drawing.

At any rate, the chance of any odd starter working without at least some fabrication of brackets etc. is pretty slim indeed.

The typical kit's on ebay for the gx 200 series engins include a flywheel with ring gear a starter motor and a keyswitch/solinoid box. they run around $90.00
The price for me is low enough that the risk of throing my money away wont hurt 2 badly if I am wrong. I realize that this is a new model from cpe I think I will call cpe and see if I can get some answers from tech support.

IDK what the engines specs are

i do know it is NEW and is an inverter model

thats all my post was referring too

it works the same as the pull start 3100i model

but with a higher rating, and NO 'sound muting enclosure'

maybe a way to provide inverter quality power with a higher power level, at a lower price point, than a 4000w "quiet sound enclosed version" ?

i haven't seen any other gas portable 4000w inverter genset

i think Honda has 6000w, with a hefty price, but is a superb genset

first thing to look for is there a starter mounting housing on your engine. also look at some of the other champion generators with electric start to compare. some of those have the same size motor.

Started digging into my generator today.
not completely dissambled due to missing tools.
not exactly sure how to post photos but I am going to try.
