Full uncut video (with all my mistakes and every bit of minutia) detailing every step for converting a generator from a gasoline-only generator to a tri-fuel (Gas/Natural Gas/Propane) generator.

@Champion Power Equipment @USCarburetion - Jak na to + styl
Just picked up the 100520 for $780 on a sale on amazon, wasnt planning on a new genny right now, but couldnt pass up the deal. Now I want to pick up this conversion kit. Nice video.
I just bought this Champion inverter Generator 100520 and soon Convert it to Natural Gas with Motor Snorkel from US Carburetion
You need to build a Generator Shed and Interlock kit Generator extension cord 10 guage and some other stuffs..... That's a lot of works my friend 🤣😅👍
53:15 Motorsnorkel instructions say "tighten carb bolts ONLY FINGER TIGHT, and THEN 1/2 TURN." Otherwise you crush the snorkel too much, as you discovered.
As I said on your other video, I think you have too much weight hanging off that large regulator. I don't think the mounting points of the regulator can handle the weight and vibration for long. I would add another hose and move that weight off from that regulator.
i hope your garage is not connected to your house.
