Hello guys, happy Christmas
My generator, TEC hustler (the blue one) turns off before the petrol finishes. Is this something to be worried about?
It leaves about 1-2 litres of petrol before turning off

Gptech. I'd be pleased if you reply

Its not up to 2 litres, that's how it is, it's to prevent dirt from getting into the carburetor. Don't attempt to tilt it to use up the fuel.

michlins:
be happy you still have a good generator. The carburetor will hardly develop issues as sludge from the tank and petrol won't be flowing into it

Very true.

Please, My thermocool Oga6800es output voltage has been gradually going up for some time now. It’s presently howering at about 267-272 volts and I am scared of turning on most of my electronics. Does anyone have an idea of how best to troubleshoot this issue.

Did you just get it? Does it ever return down or it increases by usage? You should have the AVR checked.

Nice. If you replaced it, hope it's an original one you got?

I got a sumec firman replacement unit. The seller and the technician both claimed it’s original. it fluctuates a bit when i turn on my AC. It’s not really significant but i am still observing. Should I be worried?

So long it's original you have nothing to worry about.

Hello gurus in the house... Please what do you think about dis 10Kva kemage generator for home use..

Good morning boss.

I bought a new sumec 3000es generator two months ago and notice it's dropping oil bit by bit from under.

I've checked and can't find any opening

What can be the problem??

Make sure the oil is not over gauge. If ur engine is over gauge with oil it will be coming out from there, but then if the valve cover is faulty oil can still be dropping from the cabrator air filter side.

Not sure is there is 1-1.2kva gen with key start.

Bekeee:
Good evening all
Please I need a small generator which operates with key and is very economical.
Have a big haier thermocool gen but it’s no way economical. I use it mostly when There’s power outage for a while and I need to pump water , AC, fridge etc.
Please suggest with price range please.
Thanks

Nice to hear from you prof, hope you are good?

Thanks for your reply, I don't have to tilt the gen to use the fuel. It's enough to flow on it's own you get? And this started recently since I started filling up the tank. Before, I'd just get 1k fuel and it'd completely drain it.
When this happened yesterday, I turned it on again and it went on for like 30 mins before turning off again

Also I was wondering if optima has a timer function? Maybe I mistakenly set it or something. Does it?

There's no timer function, the time there is just running time and total run time. Since you said it just started, it's possible you have had adulterated fuel (maybe there's water in the tank) or there's blockage already preventing enough fuel from getting to the carburetor when fuel level is low.

Ok thank you very much for your time

Good evening gurus in the house.

I use a thermocool gen, 3800 ES.

It has a little issue now. Anytime I switch it off, the engine goes off completely, then the engine comes up again by itself, with thick smoke coming out of the air filter, as if the air filter wants to catch fire.

Please assist with DIY solutions.Thanks.

Good day house, can my Sumec Firman SPG 3000E2 rated 2.5Kva power a pressing iron. Your honest/professional/technical response would be highly appreciated. Thanks �

Hello House, my Sumec Firman 2.9Kva generator suddenly started smoking and using up engine oil too much. The engine oil used to stay intact for months, now I hav to top up oil bfore each use. What might be wrong? Could it be the piston/rings?
Note: generator has been used for 6yrs and the engine has never been opened! Just the carburettor and engine top has been changed.

You should have asked before buying. This will power more than thrice the load you stated. What it can power is attached to the tank, check it.

michlins:

solaiphones:

Is it up to 200k

not even the price... But out out of stock... Went to 2 thermocool showroom... They both said the particular generator is out of stock and the price should be 230k when available.. But their not sure when it'll be available... But I still don't know why a 3.75KVA generator will be over 200k...
