I use this generator for my car show events where electricity is not available. Great little and reliable generator. It powers our two huge PA speakers and wireless mic 🎤 system. It only has one outlet but bought the cord with 3 plugs 🔌 coming outta one. Zero issues in 4 years!!
I buy the already mixed fuel in a can for all my 2 cycle power equipment. The gasoline that comes out of the pump in most places is full of ethanol, and will burn up a 2 cycle engine no matter how much oil you mix in it. Ready mixed can fuel isn't cheap, but it will help save your engines from ruin.
@@dawkinsrealityshow4692 I buy TruFuel in the red can, 50:1 ratio. You can get it at Lowe's and some other stores. I've been using it for years and it keeps all my small engines running in good shape.
Just buy ethanol free fuel and mix it with a good 2 stroke engine oil. I like Echo Red Armor 2 stroke oil. I use 90 octane Ethanol Free. And it works phenomenal for any 2 stroke engines.
WARNING. The owners manual for this unit states that you must use a LINE CONDITIONER if you plan to use this generator to power sensitive electronics such as computers and TV'S. The line conditioner will regulate the flow of electricity and also provide surge protection. They are a common piece of equipment. Not super expensive. Good thing to own for home and office use even if you don't have a generator. It will protect your expensive electronics.
I got one and it almost broke my are when starting it. Read the instructions closely, no closelyer, pull the rope until it is tight - let it take up the cord, then pull. I finally got it started and it ran for three hours, nd now works fine.
I have 3 generators, small 1K medium 3 K and large 9k the small one is astounding for GPH, 82 minutes on 1 leter at 6.6 amps (affordable) the medium unit we use for making dinners etc The large one we use to operate the deep water well and warm the hot water tank on low loads this thing really sucks fuel.
I am in NOLA hurricane ida just past I used that generator to run my side by side frigidaire & 3 fans & chargers it no longer call a tailgater it's a storm cat 99 bucks runs 5 hours at full load saved me &my family, note the cords r really cheap but u can use a drill 2 start it,much easier that way great little generator, harbor freight doesn't sell them anymore check ebay
Be aware that you should NOT power any electronics with this. The power it produces will damage electronics of any kind. It won't necessarily ruin them immediately but it will damage the electronics and cause failure sooner or later. I saw a video here that showed the output of this generator on an oscilloscope and it doesn't provide "clean power" (most cheap ones are like this) and a more expensive one does have the "clean power" required by electronics. (Costs are higher because it's more expensive to make them) Just remember many things other than simple tools contain electronics in timers, speed adjusters, controls etc. A simple item with just a switch and a motor will probably work fine but an electronic variable speed control on something like a router, refrigerator, TV or radio (possibly even compact florescent lights) would be ruined by this generator. The problem is the sine wave created showed the fluctuations are higher than a more expensive generator. Look up on a search engine about cheap generators and electronics.
The generator runs electronics just fine. Most switching power supplies convert the 120VAC to DC before being regulated. Does not need a smooth sine wave. To reduce RPM fluctuations, run at 3/4 choke to have more stable voltage.
...most charge a battery bank and take electricity from that...can charge it with a generator or solor power pad...or just buy a condenser for cheap to level out power rythems ...
You would need to check the wattage of each. I don't believe this one would do an ac unit -- but you may be close on the weedeater? We did a blower and it worked.
I really wish it was just a little bigger for like $25 more. Like 1000watts with 1200 surge starting watts, that way it could run a 5,000 btu window air conditioner without struggling when the AC compressor motor kicks on. A $200-$250 Sportsman 800w running/1000w surge is barely enough to run a window AC for double the money but it only lasts as long as a well maintained 2 stoke Tailgater.The generator head in each one will only last a set amount of time due to moving parts that wear. The Tailgater says mix 50 to1 but I'd run it 40 to 1.
hello sir greetings... So I bought myself a 800 what gasoline generator its a INEGO brand... so my question is.. can i use ANY 2-stroke oil to mix the gas?
I don't know why they stopped selling them. If you go to Amazon and type in 900 watt 2 cycle generator, some come up Identical to the tailgator just different color.
What about in a 2 or 3 or even week long power outrage.what about a lamp with a 40 or 60 watt bulb and a small box fan? Perhaps a TV, maybe charging my cellphone. Is it going to damage it? These are the only times I would need it. I don't think I would be worrying about blowing leaves off the driveway or vacuuming the floor. 🚬👓...
I ran this generator for 4 hours continuous three days in a row, when we were camping with out any issue. For a week outage like you are saying, I'd spend some $ on a Honda. Or buy a couple of these in case one goes down you have a spare.
@@DIYOnTheHouse those generators are underrated. I've ran a full size refrigerator for hrs and no prob. However don't run two full size refrigerators I snapped the driveshaft to the generator part running 2 but it actually did it for 10 minutes I couldn't believe it. But running one refrigerator is about max for it. Maybe a small LED light too and that's it if you need it in a Black out
@@JesusRoseAgain Your write and wrong it will convert it but it's not a steady wave in this style of generator. I'm an industrial electrician and I'm not talking out my ass. I'm not saying it wont work but you're taking a risk with using electronics with this generator. If your going to only charge it when the device is off and don't use it while its charging.
Need a great storage rack - check this one out: ruclips.net/video/C5bP2D5iGo8/видео.html

We may need to get one of these!!! Perfect when we lost power here.
It is super easy to use, I can even do it!!

What is the name of that ready mix oil I'm can it be used in one of those small generators?

@@jamisonsdad1963 it’s the way to go! No ethanol helps that motor. Burns pure gas!

hi I would like to know how long does the generator runs when you fill it on gas
Hi
It's rated for 4-5 hours.
@@DIYOnTheHouse thank much

would like to see if it could power an air compressor, electric weedeater or blower for extended periods, and a window ac unit. Good video

It will run a small 5000 BTU AC.

An Air Compressor is pushing it, Weedeater can BUT you will Burn up the moter on it, Blower Has to be less the 9 AMPs

Glad you got one! Yes you can, as long as it is the correct ratio.
I have been looking for one on the tailgaters but can't find one

A leaf blower, really. LOL Great video though. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
can it power a refrigerator or washer and dryer? and for how many hours does the power last?
This one would not be powerful enough for those appliances.
@@DIYOnTheHouse those generators are underrated. I've ran a full size refrigerator for hrs and no prob.

How long can it run with a single gal of fuel?
Roughly 4 to 5 hours at 50% (not at full throttle)
Will this work with a 2000 psi power washer
It depends on the wattage on the washer.
I detail ALL the cars in my extended family. Will this power my 900 amp electric polisher for an hour?
It won't. It's only 700 running amps. We have a video on the Champion Generator that will. Here is the video ruclips.net/video/jt-rDtqBvi4/видео.html
@@DIYOnTheHouse thx
watts,700 watts not amps
😂
Do you guys think this would work for a little tent trailer??
Yes! We use it for our travel trailer!
how long does it run on a tank of gas?
About 4 hrs 1/2 loaded. Depends on what is plugged into it and the amp draw.
Hi
How long will it run out of gas if I'm using a PC and Printer?
I think when we ran it for consecutive time while camping, we got several hours off a tank of gas.
This is not an inverter generator so not recommended for sensitive electronic devices.
Do not use this for charging phones or computers. It doesn't put out a clean sign wave.
Good to know!!
Need an inverter style generator for those situations.
What ever. I charge my phone and my Computer all the time.
NOW if you have a $1000-2500 Computer and a $1000 iphone then I would say Yes
Runs electronics just fine. Electronic chargers do not need sine wave that's a myth. They internally convert the 120vac to dc anyway

Hay will it run a small freezer or a fridge
Probably not.
yes it will i tried it no problems side by side fridg,great generator 4 the money
Thank you
Will it run a circular saw
It can but you burn up the Generator fast
As long as it's under 700w. I have ran ours camping for close to 10hrs and zero issues
that make no seanes
How would I get this product?
Is this available Cash on Delivery
If so please Drop me the link to order.
Here is a link to nearly the same generator from Amazon amzn.to/3jetUP8
Cuál aceite usa verde o aZul
Azul
Al principio sirven después el motor se tranka
Don't waste your money. If your going to use it DO NOT RUN ELECTRONICS.
Why sir
Who was that going out the door?
Not sure what you are referring to??
I don't think he is using the chock properly
Not sure what (chock) is referred to?
exactly
real smart running it in your garage.
You don't push your car out to start it do you?
Loser
@@tbirdpimp07 damn these comments got me laughing lol
You think a guy with a corvette could afford a bigger generator 😂
😆
That's what she said
Lmao try a Ps5 😅 or ac unit
