Read the Reviews; they help...you won't spill oil

I was pretty skeptical that mine would arrive damaged. I was very pleasantly surprised when it didn't have a scratch. Difference between giving those UPS guys a Christmas gift or not I guess:) Anyway, I did not have my flex funnel as suggested and it cost me a big oil pool on my driveway. I tipped the unit, filled it with oil, which it kept taking and taking until I noticed oil running from air cleaner box; dudes! I know stupid! So, as someone else said, leave it upright, flex funnel it, add about a quart, maybe less, if you flex funnel it you'll be able to tell when it overflows a little. Fill that byotch up with gas (add some Stabil) and it will start on the 2nd pull. I did have a little trouble with the choke lever. It didn't want to move and I had to get a screw driver and help the actual choke flange move with the lever the first couple times; then it loosened a little. All other dudes are correct. The instructions for the motor do not match what your looking at. If you've worked with small motors before you'll figure this on out quick. If your careful with the oil filling (not me, I was excited as kid on Christmas) you'll have no trouble with this unit provided it was delivered intact. My buddy and I rented a Honda from Home Depot during the last power outage (retail $1400.00) and it was about the same noise level as this unit at the same power rating. I don't know that the folks in a camp ground would like hearing it all night, but, it'll keep your fridge, sump and a couple lamps humming.

Overall, GREAT value. If your hesitating 'cause of negative reviews; so did I. I decided to take a chance because of the price and I am very happy with this generator. Perfect for a back-up to power outage. Just take care of it with Stabil and run it once in a while.

Another user recommended closing the fuel valve then removing the carb bowl screw and draining it, then replacing the screw for the next use to prevent the carb from "gunking" up. I recommend just closing the fuel valve while it's running and letting it go for the 5 minutes and it will stall after the carb is drained. That way you are not letting any dirt or dust into the carb bowl. The Stabil will keep it from "gunking".

Sounds like it's all up to the UPS man.

Good Luck Home(depot)Boys

Blue Max 4000 watt Generator

The first arrived with hidden damage. Amazon.com arranged for pickup and delivered a replacement in 6 days. No hassle!
The generator was easy to have up and running and for the price will do everything it needs to do.
We purchased this as a replacement for a 19 year old generator. It will be used in case of a Hurricane. I feel much more secure having it. The added wheel kit makes moving it very easy.

Great Value

I bought this generator in the fall of 2007, set it up and stuck it away in a corner of the garage. I don't even think I put stabil in it. We had a power outage 2 weeks ago that lasted a couple days. The generator started right up, ran the fridge, lights, and tv. The food in the fridge cost more than the generator, so at this point since using it in the power outage, its paid for its self. Good unit, reliable, everything works, no damage in shipping. Great price.

great generator but horrible instruction

i got this generator few days ago, i'm having problem with the engine sputtering, more specifically the choke lever. i called the manufacture and homier and can not get a respond. it looks like a good generator; i don't want to send it back to amazon.

if you don't mind, can i e-mail you few questions? if you got it to work, please e-mail me at buckyball@netzero.net. thanks in advance

Returned because of broken motor mounts

I return this generator because of 3 reasons. 1. I've found the motor mount has broken. 2. The pictures in user's manual are not this generator. 3. It is just a 2600 Watt generator.
