For small engines, I run ethanol free with Stabil as I don't use a ton of fuel and don't have to remember which gas is treated and which isn't.

My Honda generator had a warning label on it as well as the directions stating it should not be used with ethanol fuel.

I got two iPower 2200 from Costco.

1 won't start now, gotta see what's up with it.
Used em quite a bit, been good, till now.  It sat out in the rain.

Powered by Yamaha


It had water in the gas, the vent was open but I couldn't imagine water getting in.

Dunno.   Drained the carb, works perfectly now.

Well I picked up the new Predator and have about 8 hrs on it. It says you can run e gas up to 10%.

But always use non e gas on all my stuff.

So far I really like it. Easy start and quiet enough for me.

So went camping over weekend, and the generator is not charging the trailer for some reason.

Trailer charges at home on shore power no issues.

Think I read some where about a special plug. Anyone have a clue?

Did you try plugging anything else into the generator to make sure it is working?  Looks like there is at least an overload reset on the generator.

Not sure what special plug you might be talking about.

Also check any breakers or fuses you have in the RV.

Yeah I ran several items with the generator.

Someone just messaged me on the trailer forum. That I need a Neutral Ground Plug which gets the inverter working. Some generators require it.

Thank for the reply.

Gotcha, you need a plug that bonds the neutral and ground off the generator.  You can make one or buy them, if you make one just sure you bond the neutral terminal and not the line (hot).

When power comes from the generator the neutral isn't bonded to ground and they can float apart and the voltage monitor detects that and the voltage protector trips.
