Good morning prof. Which gen would you recommend for domestic use. Capacity n price doesn't matter. Just wanna know the best in terms of quality

Hello Prof,
Thanks for the good work you are doing here. Please find below my questions:

1. Please what is your opinion on conversion of Generators from Fuel to Cooking Gas? Are there known advantages for gens running on cooking gas? Disadvantages? Please kindly educate us as i intend to convert my Generator to start using gas soon.

2. My Lutian 6.3kva (1 month old) Gen uses remote control to start and stop the engine. We have been enjoying this for a while. Recently the remote stopped functioning. Remote battery confirmed to be ok. I learnt the sensor may be the problem.

1.using gas is a bit OK, economically,
disadvantage is novice can burn 7kg within 5hours. and highly inflatable.

2.can be the sensor, but sensor hardly spoil, I think engineer is needed to check properly

on 1.5kva buy ::tec

on 2.5 buy sumac fireman , elepaq, tigmax, fireman eco.

on 3.5kva buy spg 3800 symec fireman, with 9.0hp. anything below 9.0hp is 2.5kva

on 5.5kva spg sumec fireman 8000 with round pole

Hello prof enochogaga, God bless you for the selfless service you render to your fellow nairalanders. pls, could you kindly advise me on the following

I want to buy a gen and my budget is around 50-55k. I live in a 2bedroom apartment. I have a medium size fridge, 47 led TV, gotv, sound system, manual watching machine, 4 ceiling fans, 5 (26watz) white bulbs, 5 (60watz) coloured bulbs. I will charge a laptop and my phones.

Do you think a 2.5kva gen will work for me?

A gen seller advises me to get a Sumec Fireman 2500 which he would give me for 57k but the maximum output is 2.2kva while output is 2.0kva. He however advised that since the coil is 5.5 as he showed me the coil of other products like Elepac constant 3500 ( 2.5 kva rated gen) which is also 5.5 that the Sumec Fireman 2500 will be enough to serve me like any other 2.5kva rated gen. Do you think that is true?

What other 2.5kva gen product would you advise me to get within my stated budget of 50-55k.

Thanks so much for your anticipated response.

budget too small

Thanks for your response.
1. Please how can a novice burn 7kg within 5hrs? Can you provide further explanation on this?

2. I called in an engineer who ran some checks and he claims the sensor is bad... Please what can we do now?

3. Can the sensor be repaired or we should consider outright replacement? If replacement, how much does ithe sensor cost and where can we get it?

Professor, I bought a sumec firman spg 3000e2 generator in December 2017. I actually bought it from Alaba. I checked for originality and I confirmed it. Sumec firman crested on the carburetor, and other places. The gen is already doing hard starting

The voltage indicator that indicates that the gen is supplying current to 220v has stopped working. You know the spg3000e2 has key and rope start. I've not used the rope to start it since I bought it, as the key refused to start it, I tried the rope after 3 trials it started, I then turned it off and tried starting with the key and it started. I'm confused the gen is too new to be having this sort of wahala.

Please I need your advice. Thanks. Please mention me when responding so that I know when you respond.

1. When the power indicator went off does the gen stop supplying power to ur house, if No, then the indicator bulb is bad, but if is not supplying then the gen has an electrical problem, fix it the bulb will light,

2. The auto key could not start coz the battery is weak, dues to long duration of unused, when u then use it the battery charge itself a bit, that why it start.

Abidevine, thanks for contacting prof,

Good morning Prof, I didn't say anything about the power indicator, I said voltage indicator you know that thing on the side of a gen that indicates if the gen output is 220v. It doesn't move anymore if my gen is on. Infact please send me your number so I can call and explain properly.

Oniovo Enochogaga, Kobiruo.

My Sumec Firman LPG 3000 usually starts misfiring when I put it on. It makes a weird sound and the current fluctuates when it does. The sound it makes is like when an engine is being fired over and over again.

The only things plugged to the gen are my deep freezers (100ltrs),plasma,fans,bulbs, and laptops. The gen can't carry my 1.5hp AC so I don't turn it on.

What could be wrong? Is it something I can easily fix or do I need to get a technician?

Once again, Kobiruo.

I believe is the gorvnor, it need setting

Prof good evening,

Thanks for helping people out here.

Please my elepaq 2.5kva generator just suddenly supplied high voltage, I checked the meter, it was reading 300...

How do I reduce the output voltage please?

Thanks, God bless & strengthen you more...

evening my bro, nothing u can do, ur avr is bad charge it

Pls I want 2 know what could be responsible for excess vibration. My Elepaq generator vibrates 2 much, if I increase d speed d vibration will still be much and d noise will be very high. And another thing is if I raise d choke it will be shaking as if it is about to go off but if I return d choke to d centre it will be stable. What could be d problem is it that d cabrator is bad? D gen does not carry enough load. Can a faulty cabrator reduce its ability to carry appliances. It's a 5200 elepaq gen and I bought it about six months ago (brand new). What can be done to reduce d vibration and improve it's power to carry appliances like fridge and pressing Iron.

Good evening prof, I use a sumec gen with a capacity of 3.8kva and 9hp respectively. The issue I'm having is that it guzzles fuel like mad. For instance, a litre of fuel lasts a little longer than 25mins. I want to know if this is a fault peculiar with my gen or is this the normal consumption of generators in that capacity. It doesn't leak fuel. Every other thing is perfect . Only fuel consumption

Definitely if cab is not working freely it will affect the output, and the shaking is bcoz the speed is too low for to carry the load u put in, also ur cab can still drop the speak,
And that chork that could not be able to get to end, it means ur cab is bad

Is not normal,
1.low the speed,
2.tight the faul consumption screw
That all

My gen would not give me light after 20mins while it's still on. I would power it on and there will be light but after 20 mins the light would go off but the gen will still be running. What's the problem 08077366561
