Runs well after a little tweeking By Steve
After I assembled the generator and filled it with gasoline it ran like a champ right out of the box. However, I had problems getting it to run on natural gas and/or LP gas. The manual is very poorly written and really needs to be re-written. It appears that it was translated from another language and is very difficult to understand at times. After doing some reseach on the internet, I found that the choke must be opened for starting on natural gas or LPG (the manual says it should be closed for starting). After opening the choke, I was finally able to get the generator started on these fuels. Once started, it ran really rough and ran extrememly hot. After a bit more research, it appears that it was running way to rich (on NG and LPG, it is better to run lean which is just opposite of how you run on gasoline). I adjusted the gas flow screw (which the manual says that you are never supposed to adjust) to lean it out and it started running much smoother and cooler. After these few adjustments, it runs like a champ. Only other issue I have is that technical support is really hard to get a hold of. They would never call back and I had to keep calling until I did finally get a hold of them. If you are comfortable with working with gas and are willing to "tweek" the regulator, then this generator is an excellent product (especially for the money). But out of the box it does not run well on NG or LPG.Not sure about Powerland By Bob
The first time I bought this generator from Amazon, it had to be returned because the motor mounts were bent and wouldn't allow the wheels to be installed. The replacement
generator wouldn't start electrically and the sealed battery leaked acid. I have yet to run this generator on propane or natural gas, but I'm not counting on anything. Amazon was great about replacing the first generator. I have no complaints with Amazon, just the product.Powerland 10,000 Watt Tri-Fuel 16 HP By Tim P. Samuelson
Works like a charm. It is far less noisy than my old generator. It also has a switch that will automatically throttle down the engine if the electrical draw is low. This could save a fair amount of fuel. I have only used it for gas so far but I am very satisfied with the easy assembly (despite no directions). Assembly is pretty much just putting on the handles and wheels. Numerous options for output so it is made for multiple power requirements. The packaging is very good, not a scratch on it. This was the best priced generator I could find for wattage, tri-fuel and amperage output options.
