Not impressed
I received the inverter and unboxed it, upon removing it from the box I noticed a film of green oil on the bottom of the inverter frame, not sure where the oil came from as the engine was empty. I read the owners manual, added the provided oil, pushed the battery switch to the on position and pushed the economy mode button to on and tried to start the inverter, nothing happened when I pushed the start button. I then pulled the side panel off and checked the battery, all 4 lights were green indicating a charged battery. I kept pushing the start button and still nothing. I decided to start the inverter with the rope pull start, the inverter did start on the first pull, but it acts like it is choked and the choke won’t turn off, it is running super rich. The elevation I live at is approximately 5500 feet and according to the owners manual it needs to be tuned for any elevation above 5000 but it is running much richer than any 4 stroke engines that I have, that’s why I think the choke is hung open. I also checked the air filter to make sure there was one in it and that it didn’t have some kind of plastic wrapping on it, while I was checking it I noticed the opposite side oil plug was not in the unit but there was some kind of plug that can’t be removed( it looks like the plug was twisted off in the port). No matter how long I ran it the start button still will not work. I’m not too happy with the quality of this inverter.
