Sounds like you got the info you were looking for. Glad to hear it. Thanks for the feedback.

I just bought one of these exact units. Glad you showed the maintenance so I know what the oil screen looks like etc.
It looked like the oil and spark plug were certainly ready for an exchange at 100 hours, thank you.

Glad it was of help. Im a believer in the recommended maintenance schedule on these. There are never any guarantees in life but at least Ill know I did my part to keep it running.

I just bought the 15,000 EFI model not coming in till the end of May. Hopefully it’s a reliable unit for me.

I'd love to hear how it works out for you. Im a firm believer with all generators. Maintenance is crucial.
