    ******** Review Positives:- Nice engine.- Nice alternator.- Sturdy, well built frame.Negatives:- Poor customer service, phone calls not returned, problems not corrected.- Unit not fully tested on propane and natural gas, my unit will only run on natural gas, propane doesnt work because the propane o****** is too large, flooding the engine with propane.- Chinese made sealed lead acid battery had leaked into battery box when unit was received.- Battery box is made for a 5Ah battery, but the unit comes with a 9Ah battery. Battery box lid is missing in order to accommodate the oversized battery.- Fuel conversion requires moving fuel hose from one port to another, no selector valve.- No automatic frequency regulation, engine speed governor is the only means of frequency control. Therefore, no-load frequency is greater than 60Hz and full-load frequency is less than 60Hz.- No automatic voltage regulation.- Engine not fully bolted to frame. Washers not used on engine/alternator mounting hardware.- **************** (because of no response from the service department) referred me to their engine supplier (Carb and ***** Systems; ********, *********) to remedy the propane flooding issue. It has taken Carb and ***** more than two months to acknowledge there is a problem. They are ordering parts for it. I guess its my problem and responsibility to fix it? I dont know when I will get the replacement parts. How many defective units are out there? Buyer Beware.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
