Is there a rule of thumb about when a generator should be pulled out and rebuilt? It seems to run very well. I keep the synthetic oil and filter changed regularly and have swapped the plugs out a couple of times. On occasion it will misfire a little but I wonder if that's maybe a fuel delivery problem since I've not changed the fuel filter, as yet. Any suggestions welcome.

It will operate everything in the unit. It is a gas engine,but if I had my druthers I would get a propane unit because of cost savings. I can do a conversion but as for now We are satisfied.

We run synthetic oil and have never had a failure under any operating conditions. Good common sense article. We run synthetic oil and have never had a failure under any operating conditions.
