To sum it up the generator you bought is either fake or defaulted products. You didn't get it at their store. You should have asked for refund or another one that second day you returned it who knows you might not be facing this. The best is Count your loss and get another new one from their stores not even at accredited sales outlet anymore cos those guys mixed original with their fake or you go for thermocool. Also ditch that fucking mechanic

Thanks a lot for your advice @suco01. I'll do just that

Knocked 2ce?
Top up oil every 6hours?
Changing plug every month?

Did u get the generator new or used?. If yes probably u bought a default generator, careless on the usage the knocked 2ce or your mechanic duped you by lieing or throwing used wear and tear parts replacement. I am clueless sef.
Post the generator pics and give details from when the first problem start

The problem started since the second day I bought it, it refused starting. I took it back to Oyingbo where I bought it, the guy told me it was the cabeurator that needed to be changed, he changed it and it worked there, I brought it back home, a week after, it refused starting, brought in a mechanic, he did something it started. After about a month, I started noticing the oil fast shortage cause the red oil alert light wouldn't let it start, then this was happening almost every 3 days till it became a ritual.

3 months in, the engine knocked, the mechanic said the gen was fake and it might be best I changed the engine and got an original engine. I couldn't imagine spending another 40k on a gen I bought 3 months before, so he just changed the piston and ring and some other stuffs.. Since the change, the oil changing reduced to 1 day or 2 days... Aside from the periodical not-starting that the mechanic would have to come touch something before it started, this is what forced me to changing the plug every month, so that maybe it would reduce the once in a while non starting and also most times it would just trip off after working for like 30mins

Just last night, I started it, and 2mins in, it just went off, the same way it did the first time it knocked. It's refused to start and sounds as though something inside it is broken, I'm just too tired to even call the mechanic

Power Usage: House bulbs - led lights, 2 standing fans, 1 laptop, 32 Inch TV and GoTv Decoder, LG Boom sound system. That's all it powers at the maximum

PS: I removed the filter when I was trying to check what was wrong with it last night

Plus help!

I currently use sumec Firman spg 1800 gen max, and sincerely, it's the worst experience I've had with generators. I bought it only 6 months ago, just carrying only TV, light bulbs and laptop. It has knocked twice.

Besides that, I add oil almost every 6hrs, I buy I litre oil every 4 days, just to keep up. I change the plug every month.

It's been frustrating to say the least

And I've been reading reviews here about people using the gen and say they enjoy it, now I'm wondering what could be wrong with mine.

It checks all the mark for an original Firman gen, all the places that is said that the logo should be imprinted on, the logo is there.

Pls Help!
