Check for spark there was none !! We thought perhaps being out of the engine it may just be to weak to see so we put it back in and tried starting again. Check for fuel, we had it, checked all valves open, they where. Maybe I got a lemon so I took the second one the XG-SF3000 to my partner and had him open the box and set it up.XG-SF3000 Review Same problem, prime it 50 times as per the instructions. Turned it off and have have not really be able to get it started ever again.

Finally we found the magic position and ran the generator for 10 minutes. The choke is very sensitive and requires a LOT of adjustments during the starting process to get it working. Closed the choke and pulled the recoil starter some 15 times before it started and stalled again. OK so we removed the park plug and let it dry out then started again. That is what the instructions said to do.Īnd you guessed it, we flooded the engine. Following the poor instructions we learned whe had to prime it by pumping it 50 times. The print quality was also poor.The first generator was the XG-SF2000 2000 Watt Inverter Generator. Clearly customers would have problems with it. English documents should be left to someone who understands the language when you manufacture a product for sale in North America.

We purchased 2 sample units and this is what happened.When it fist arrived we where impressed with the packaging but it all went down hill from there.Like most products from China the manual and stickers on the generator are hard to understand. Since asking over a week ago before completing or order even, they have not responded and offered horrible technical support to date.We went ahead anyway because we have the ability to service them but we would just require parts. Not even the company we where about to spend tens of thousands of dollars with would supply parts not even defective ones. Suspecting no other company would do this we contacted many other dealers looking for spare parts for common things that fail and non of them had any and most would not respond. No parts kits.The final agreement is we would buy spare parts. They where very quick to respond and produce an invoice for us but they refused to include spare parts to fix them if they fail. We also wanted to sell them so we contacted the manufacture and started the purchase process. CSA will let you put any name on it but the model number must stay the same so we searched the model number and found it.

We found they all say Yongkang Xingguang Electrical Manufacture. The EPA certificate often tells you the name of the engine manufacture and the model number. Just a different sticker on them.There are two ways to check who it really comes from. We looked further in to it and found out they are all from the same China company. One of us has a mechanical, electrical and technical background and the other an automotive, parts, generator and hands on experience who is involved in hands on generator repairs and service.We noticed many companies all selling the same looking thing. We used to be a Kipor Inverter Generator dealer so we are very familiar with these types of generators. Now it is time for our Review on the Inverter Generator models XG-SF2000 and XG-SF3000. We purchased two of these cheap generators and it ended up costing us more then it would cost to buy a Honda for example and I’m sure we would not have so many problems with it if we did.

Honda or Yamaha is a great choice and worth the extra cost.
