Excellent review! I can say that this generator offers safe power for sensitive electronics allowing for a change in RPM for fuel efficiency but remaining with stable voltage.

FYI, I’ve had my two Ryobi gens for two years now. Bought together with the 30 amp combiner box. Gen 1 has 190 hrs gen 2 has 440 hrs. At first they operated the same, then Gen 2 would cut out when combined for high load, but otherwise work fine. Now Gen 1 is surging and cutting out. Changed Gen 1’s carb and both Gen’s spark plugs. Gen 1 was heavily sooted whereas Gen 2 looked fine. And just another side issue, both gens start cords have fraying 4 inches (or so) from the handles. Re-tied the cords to move the frayed part. Changing out cords is a HUGE hassle.

Gen1 is burning oil, likley piston rings and valves. Carb wont fix issue. Could have overheated, lack of maintenance, or simple misfortune the engine is failing

I just bought a lil generac (same internals) i think im going to try to buy some 100LL avgas to do test runs. When I use it run pump gas, drain it, run avgas and drain it again as that shit won't foul the carb. Seems like the overwhelming majority of problems with these Ducar gensets is carb issues.

Mine purs like a kitten and is running straight 3 days now from our storm outage. However, display never changes from available runtime on load. Not sure if it's a fuel [tank measuring ] system issue or something in the electronics. Maybe the unit needs to be off between fuel fills? Thanks for the video - this clarified alot.

possibly. there is a fuel sending unit that measures the fuel level inside. it could be stuck. It connects right to the gencontrol display. Unfortunately the sensor is part of the fuel tank, and is only sold as an entire assembly, tank and sensor. Part# 310711202

I love the generator and use it constantly since I live off grid. In 6 months I put about 2000 hours. But I just recently started having trouble getting it to shut down remotely. With the timer or force shutdown from my phone it will almost completely stop running but the suddenly rev back up and run. Sometimes after a few tries it will shut down but I have had to go out and shut it down with the knob. Any idea what could be the problem?

After purchase I would immediately change the oil and refill with 1/5 of Marvel Mystery Oil even if they tell that they kept up on the oil changes. Be VERY CAREFUL not to overfill the oil reservoir. It will cause issues that cannot be remedied without thorough repair. If they sell it to you with gas in it AND it runs well with that gas I would immediately pour two ounces of MM Oil in the tank after you get it home and then run it for an hour AFTER you change the oil. Do that if you are going to have it sit and not use it right away. At each tank full also add an ounce of MM Oil. Enjoy!

Try adjusting the cable, it’s a bad design and it won’t choke all the way to start, there’s a screw, loosen it, pull the cable gently with pliers a little, tighten it back up,if you put your finger on the throttle you can see it still can move to the left a little, just be careful when you adjust the cable, mine shows the cable from new is already twisted, like I said bad design.
