earthrealm:


you must have abused the gen, and being economical with the truth...your engine needs an overhaul, and based on the skill of the local repairmen, the gen will never be the same again.......compare cost of the overhaul vs buying a new gen...and make an informed decision


what kills gens
1. overloading the gen
2. not maintaining good oil change intervals
3. using fake/substandard oil
4. not replacing the oil after running for 10 to 20hrs on first use--when you bought the gen new.

in your case, likely items 2 to 4

NobleEngineer:
Hello everyone, pls how many litres of engine oil does it take to run this generator?

Gptech:

Should be around 1.5 to 2 litres. You can just measure two 1 litre cans of oil and fill till its topped to get the exact capacity

Thanks a bunch.
I just called them but its out of stock


Can the 2.5kva Optima blue one carry a chest height fridge with TV & fan?? I don't know the wattage of the fridge but its 170l.

dataking:

Why do you recommend step 4. I have never seen such recommendations before.

aieromon:


It will power the listed appliances without stress.

Gptech:

What else do you power with the AC? If your generator is the blue one, what's the frequency? If it's the yellow increase the running speed.

Boss,

The issue keep popping up o every now and then even after increasing the speed.

After 10 - 25 mins, the gen starts vibrating madly n screaming as if it's on its way to the gallow.

Once I put off the AC, everything goes back to normal.

Except at night where it sometimes works just fine.

Same thing this morning when I ask a gen repairer to come look at it. He just increased the speed and everything works fine for like 10 mins before putting it off.

Tried to switch it on this afternoon and it started its Jack Sparrow Dash.

Anything I'm missing here?

If I'm correct, the black plastic screw behind the carburettor is the one I need to tighten as I've tightened the one that looks like a metal gold screw.. Yet no change

Gptech:

Its strange because it normally powers 1.5Hp non inverter AC without this issue. Check the Voltage reading whenvever you experience this again. This is the screw to tighen.

earthrealm:


A new engine, the internal clearances inside the engines are super tight, hence small metal shavings are generated during the first few hours of use, aka disvirgining the engine.

This metal shavings if allowed to remain in circulation may damage the engine/open up the clearances further leadng to smoking or high consumption of oil

micynute94:


Done that too boss

I noticed there is debris inside the tank.. Like a sand residue of sort.

Could a dirty carburettor be the reason?

Called a technician and he said he will service the carburettor tomorrow.

As at now, I have to switch off everything just to power the AC. My neighbor uses the same gen n powers two AC at the same time with no issh.

Pls guys in the house,does hier thermocool show rooms sell half engine?
If no,where can i get genuine hier thermocool half engine in lagos on the island

Generaloluseye:
I want to ask whether a 3.75 kva gen can power a 1500 watt iron without issues.

Gptech:

Go to their service center.

oneroflo57:


Thanks chief, i just googled them and I'm seeing ilupeju and festac
I'm in sangotedo ��

Gptech:

To return to normal stable voltage first check If the sound of the generator fluctuates. If it does, then the governor should be checked. If the generator sounds normal then the AVR is still the issue.

Odunharry:

Long time chief.

Tokunbo predator generator vs Thermocool husler which one is better.
