Noise doesn’t come from the side of the generator where the door is. All of the noise comes from the exhaust side of the generator when it’s under load. Have someone plug in an appliance and stand behind the generator where the exhaust exits and hear how loud the exhaust gets when the generator ramps up. It’s no different than standing behind a car while asking someone to rev their engine.

I have another solution to this, but previously I was mistaken on thinking I can wire two generators together to get 240, but its only single phase 240. It needs to be split phase, which can only be achieved with an autotransformer. I have purchased one and when I get sometime to catch up with work. I'll do a video about it.

Please reach out to Harbor Freight or return the generator for a replacement if its under warranty.

I suggest returning the generator for a replacement if you have extended warranty.

Correct, no need for thread tape on that fitting. I only place it around the threads and not at the taper part. It’s just my way of ensuring a seal when it’s not needed. No jet is needed for NG, only LP has the jet on my kits.

The kit is plug and play and guaranteed to run right out of the box without any fuel adjustments unless you’re switching between LP/NG. Which I provide a preset feeler gauge for the load block. That in itself can only be achieved with a 5 gas analyzer, something my competitors don’t do except for genconnex as they have their kits EPA certified. I custom built the load block with higher tolerance and adjustment to allow for slight variation in NG pressure ranging between 4-8 W.C. Meaning the fuel settings have enough room for these variations to satisfy the electronic governor and maintain operation. The rest of the 5 gas analyzer readings are proprietary as the equipment and time in the engine room is an upfront cost along with the patent I’ve filed for fuel adapter.

@@GrenergyTriFuel When you post a video of the conversion going thru the lab testing I will buy one. Until then....

Sorry, I would rather not, it’s my competitive advantage over other kits out on the market, which they’ve didn’t bother doing any sort of testing, so they just leave the fuel adjustments to their customers. They didn’t spend thousands in testing, but I have and it’s paid off for folks who currently purchased my products. I understand you need proof, but if you’re not convinced. It maybe easier to just buy a generator that is already dual or tri fuel equipped. I appreciate your feedback and comment.

@@GrenergyTriFuel Showing your kit is not running too lean only helps you. If you are doing the testing that is.

With gasoline going leaner will increase exhaust cylinder temperatures. This is opposite with LP/NG, going leaner will result in cooler exhaust temperatures. It’s only a big issue when you go too rich with LP/NG, this can run the engine hotter. Going rich can increase power output and going too lean will reduce power output and lower engine RPM. Finding that precise balance can only be achieved with a 5 gas analyzer. A better indicator of correct fuel mixture would be pulling the spark plug and checking the condition of the tip. You can google search “spark plug engine conditions”

You can easily do this with reducer fittings. Just let me know upon ordering or you can find them at your local hardware store.

@ I actually did make one just now

Unfortunately no remote start

Yes you can

Chinese hoses are not built to any UL standards. But Chinese made generators have to be built to meet basic electrical safety standards. And its engines built to meet emissions requirements to be even sold in the United States. It’s about liability and not everything Chinese made are on the same level.

@GrenergyTriFuel I'll agree that there definitely is a wide range of quality, so picking something like a regulator is difficult. On the other side of things, the cap on the stock regular can be removed, allowing access to the adjuster screw. I obviously wouldn't endorse that on a RUclips channel, but it's basically about 1.5 rotations clockwise on the stock reg to make it work with natural gas. I wish Harbor Freight would just sell a reg for natural gas. They would make more money for part they all ready manufacture and it gives the consumer peace of mind that there buying an approved component.

The adjustment screw under the cap of the demand regulator is not all accessible to everyone. The unit on mine is thread locked including the fittings all around it. Also without a prime button to bleed out air, it would take longer to crank over the engine if you add extra hose length. The issue is, not everyone who watches my channel are handy around the house. My business is built around convenience and guaranteed functionality w/ warranty and customer support from the kits I sell. I would rather not encourage people to modify their regulator assemblies due to how poorly some are manufactured, and the inconsistency in each part. If one of my viewers modifies the regulator, and now suddenly there is a gas leak or the unit malfunctions and dumps high pressure into the generator. I could be sued and be liable for dangerously misleading my viewers. A lot of folks get upset that I only talk about my products rather than helping them save money by doing it themselves. But don’t see things from my perspective when it comes to “liability” and I don’t want to be responsible for someone else’s mistakes or death. People in our country sue anyone over everything and anything. If folks want to DIY parts for their own generators, I’m sorry this channel isn’t it.

To answer your second question on why Harbor Freight wont sell a regulator dedicated to NG. Thats because harbor freight will now have to certify emissions testing for NG. Which costs a ton of money to be approved. They already pay to have that emissions sticker slapped onto the generator for gasoline and LP and the EPA only issues a number of these stickers according to what the manufacturer paid. To get more “stickers” they would need to go through testing again. EPA does not joke around and it costs a ton of money to be in compliance. This strict emissions is the reason why Honda generators are no longer available for sale in the state of California. Other states are now considering following this trend including Colorado, Washington State, New York and Oregon.

Thank you for your feedback.

Wrong. Gasoline does gum up injectors and fuel pumps if you forget to empty the gas tank for months on end. Fuel in most cases does go bad especially if you live in places like California where they have their own blend of fuel. I’ve been to California and had my cars sit for 2 weeks and you can already see gasoline separate from its additives when you pour it in a cup.

Thanks for your feedback and stay safe.

For most folks, a Honda may not be needed unless you want peace of mind.

Thanks for watching.

You mean LP auto change over? I do have that video you search my channel

Magnetic dipstick for metal particles inside the oil pan. 🤦‍♂️ Why would it be for aluminum.

@GrenergyTriFuel aluminum is a metal 🤦. Magnetic iron and aluminum particles exist in the oil because of wear. The magnet only attracts the iron. The bottom of the sump doesn't get cleaned out unless you drain from the bottom and tilt the engine. 🤦

Yes, metals as in iron that the magnets attracts. Was this not common knowledge that was taught in elementary school? Because to everyone else it was, except you. 🤦‍♂️ The aluminum particles may still float around in the oil and is removed during oil changes. With continued oil changes, the residual metals gets to be less and less. Having the magnet is a “better than nothing” approach towards removing foreign objects floating in the oil. Companies such as the Genmax “GM4600iAEDC” are now offering magnetic dipsticks in their generators from factory. 🤦‍♂️ Why not head on over to Genmax and mansplain them what you’ve just told me. 🤦‍♂️ I can’t believe I have to explain this to a dumb@$$ who thinks magnets are for aluminum, and assumes everyone else is just as dumb as you are.

I’m running a business, and you’re “whining” about my free video. You should have left long ago and said nothing, but YOU were “butt hurt” over my video and left comment. Now you’re free to leave. BYE ✌️

@@GrenergyTriFuelself absorbed and petty, what a shock.

Funny how you came to me first, and now you’re harassing me? What a shock.

Why is it over priced to just you? I seem to have plenty of business from folks who want to spend the money. Which is why I’m still in business for the past 5-6 years. God bless capitalism for allowing me to open up shop, pay for a house and feed my family. ruclips.net/video/ZBCnQs-UiVg/видео.htmlsi=2-kBgm090IwpDjH0

Yes, some open frame generators are inverters but the majority are not inverter type

Yes, Harbor Freight has used RATO Engine.

PREDATOR 212 cc", a Harbor Freight label, has been manufactured by several different manufacturers, the most common being Chongqing Rato Power Co. with the Model R210 and Model R210-III. A second manufacturer is Loncin Motor Co LTD, with model 210FA. Loncin parts for the most part WILL NOT Fit the Chonqing Rato Predator motors. so far I have touched many 69730 engines the 2012 year model says Lifan Chongqing Rato Power Co. the 2013 dated model says Loncin and the 60363 is a Loncin; the 69727 is Calif. only and I have no clue who makes that one also one more thing that I forgot there is a series 1 and series 2 #60363 differences in head casting

Thanks for the info.

There is. Please check the video description for more details.

Yes, that is correct.

Thanks for your input

Thanks for your input

These generators all come from the same 2-3 Chinese factory. Big difference is the type of customer service.

Thanks for your feedback.

Glad you've enjoyed the videos! Only time you need to worry about the carb is if your running gasoline at higher elevations. The propane system is internally separate from the carb. So no worries there.

We will have a batch for sale at the end of this month or next month.

Appreciate that! Sweet RX7 you got there. 👍👍👍

What you’ve done for maintenance is just fine.

Good ear. 😂😂😂

Champion, Harbor Freight and Duramax so far has good customer service. I would recommend buying from those three.

You’re very welcome. I’m glad you’re enjoying the content.

Last week was Black Friday, of course there will be a deep discount sale as expected, not year around. What's BS about that?

Lots of generators like this unit have been returned to stores simply because folks don't understand their appliances. Every home owner needs to know the in's and out's of their house. That's what being a responsible homeowner does.

Thanks for your input.

Thanks

Hello, not a problem. Please give me a call (616) 741-1823 or email at support@grenergy-us.com

yes.

Thanks for watching!

Appreciate you, and thanks for watching!

That’s good information to know, thanks for sharing and thanks for the continued business!

You can try.

Thanks for watching. Unfortunately the majority of these products are no longer avaible or outdated. Next time I'll do a video with product links.

Yes, they should work just fine.

Unfortuanly we don't do Black Friday sales. These kits move fast and I'm having a hard time keeping them on the shelves. All of these are hand assembled and we sometimes can't keep up.

Can't expect wonders on these cheap Chinese generators. But folks still buy them compared to prices of Honda's and Yamaha's.

Why wouldn’t I expect it. I’m allowed to speak up for my self and my business.

@@GrenergyTriFuel it’s not about what is “allowed” you’re just giving the haters what they want. This is internet 101: you can’t take it personal.

If it was a personal matter, who cares. But when I’m running a business and folks start to spew nonsense or false opinions about LP/NG which deters potential customers and costs me money. Then yeah, I do have a real problem with that.
