      Thanks for another informative video. I like the MaxPeedingrods unit. But I've been very happy with my Pulsar GD400BN that I bought based on your recommendation. No electric start and no app but I don't really miss those features. Thanks again. Keep up the good work!

    • @johnnysweekends
      @johnnysweekends  Před měsícem +2

      @charlesklaus6290 nothing wrong with that pulsar at all. Same engine, but the company asked if I could use this for a while to give it a shake down and see how it does. So far so good. Again I don’t need the extras but some people need it or want it.
      But again I do like apps lol

    • @tristanschaper281

      I got the Pulsar GD400BN last fall for less than half the price of this unit, and it's basically the same engine/generator/frame, but without the control panel, battery and app. The fit and finish of the Pulsar is not top notch quality, but it's been running great on propane and has handled loads well. It's neat to see all of the new generators and new features that keep coming out. Keep up the great videos!

      @@johnnysweekends It's interesting that it's the same "engine" as the Pulsar, but the manufacturers have a slightly different name. I wonder if it's a legal/risk thing to separate into 2 different companies for business purposes. Maybe 1 company makes the engine/gen, and then it goes to "finishing" or install into the enclosure, at another company. A video explaining those 2 different company names, would be interesting.

    Honda was always the leader because of cheap Chinese engines could not compete with the Japanese. Seems in the last few years the Chinese have steeped up in the Engine game and Honda will fall behind if they rely on their name only and not be competitive in features and price.

      @@johnnysweekends when would you recommend the gd400bn over the MXR4000gt? I kinda like the option for the wife to be able to auto start if needed but that’s my only real want compared to the pulsar that I can tell.

      @johnnysweekends  Před 15 dny

      @daniellaney3946 I like simplicity but do like data, so the app is cool. I don’t need the electric start really but it’s a cool feature. But those do add a couple extra pounds and the possibilities of things to maybe go wrong.
      They both use the same engine the pulsar and gt4000.
      So it depends if you want a feature packed unit. Although it does say limited time sale…amzn.to/4dVX7K5

    Is it bad to run a generator at 70-80% of its max power for many hours?

    • @johnnysweekends
      @johnnysweekends  Před měsícem +2

      You are just going to shorten engine life by always running higher harder loads. Plus fuel efficiency and runtimes drop a lot after 50%

    Any chance you have a lithium bank on that RV and we’re charging the batteries? If so, any chance you have specs of how much lithium and how long you had to run each generator to recharge?

    Is the 1 gallon fuel tank standard for generators in this size category? Seems awfully small. 30 min run time without the extra tank?

    • @johnnysweekends
      @johnnysweekends  Před měsícem

      It’s a little over a gallon but a larger fuel cell required to make the generator bigger and it will be heavier when full

    I don't know about the reliablity of some of these Chinese generators and also if you'll be able to get parts in 5 years when they stop working. I have a 11 year old honda eu2000i that still works like it is brand new. Project Farm did a oil analysis on a lot of these small generators and the honda scored at the top with the chinese ones at the bottom with lots of metal in the oil after running them a short amount of time.

    • @johnnysweekends

      Todd tested two units with the Honda. Total of 3.
      Many are getting into the 1000s of hours with these units. Alaska preppers use the predator 2000 now because Hondas were not worth the down time and repair cost when they could just go buy a new unit and have spare parts ready

      @@johnnysweekends The Predator engines are the actual Honda "clone" engines, which is probably why they are so good. Many people call all Chinese engines as Honda clones, but it's only the Rato ones, that actually are, as far as I know.

      I agree, as Honda parts (and parts diagrams) are easy to get. However, I was able to contact Pulsar and they emailed me a PDF parts list and lo-resolution diagram. Unfortunately none of their part numbers seem to work in Google and there are no real websites to buy these parts (yet) but Chongqing Dinking seems to be making so many of these units under various "brands" that I'm hopeful that if I need any parts in the future, that I should be able to find them. It may take a little more digging for me to find and buy the parts, but I think they will be available.
