One correction, if you will, I have the same generator and it does indeed charge the battery when running.

I have been looking at this video before I ordered my Westinghouse WGen10500TFc on Amazon. I'm wondering if this will work for ac 3 ton AC? I've been looking at KZfaq (You're the only one for this Westinghouse yet) and the Google reviews, some people say "yes", some people say "no". Have you tried on a AC?

Does it give a read out of total wattage that’s being used and you use things?

Can I use a propane tank without charging the battery this my first time using it, and I didn't charge my battery?
@kennedy987963 ай бұрын
yes the battery is only for electric start. you can take bat off and start it with the pull rope.

I plugged a 100 foot extension cord into the outlet and plugged a heater in for the load and it didn’t work.

Do you use the choke? Will you show another video with a load added please?
@timofthedeep3 ай бұрын
The choke is automatic. I will add a load video in my next maintenance run.

I purchased this same unit and got less than 5 hours on it when it stopped making electricity. Home Depot would not accept a return because it had gas in it - to run it of course - even though I drained it prior to taking it back. Westinghouse support has been excellent and is replacing it under warranty. Taking a month due to supply issues but I should have it in a few days. What caused this! It has been suggested that when connecting to my home breaker box with an interlock connection that we should change the neutral from the existing BONDED Neutral to a FLOATING Neutral. My previous Firman generator operated flawlessly with my setup. There is very little information on YouTUbe about this but there are a few folks saying that is what we should do. It is mentioned in the manual for the WGen 10500. Anyone else have any issues like this and experience?

It should have been under warranty?
@condor5635Ай бұрын
when you say stopped making electricity you mean the 2 duplex outlets were in use as a standalone generator not connected to the house at all? Or do you mean the 240 outlet was hooked to the house and it stopped making electricity. Or both?

@@projectswithjw - sounds like something physically was broken and that unbonding it would not have done anything to bring it back to life. Definitely want to unbond it when used via an interlock to a house already bonded. I am just not sure what was actually broken on it.

Glad I ran across your video. I couldn’t find KZfaqrs who have covered the Tri-Fuel generator from Westinghouse. I got my Westinghouse 9500 Tri-Fuel generator on 11/20/2023, and it's still in the box. After reviewing your video, I plan on opening mine up right after Thanksgiving. Thanks for making your video straight to the point.

It ran about 8hours on a grill bottle no load breaking it in and then I ran it with a 4500 watt water heater for an hour and still had juice left in the bottle.
@condor5635Ай бұрын
breaking in one of these for 8 hrs without a load is not the correct way to break it in. You are supposed to vary the load.

I have this gen and connected it to my house for the first time today, all went well, but for some reason I have one ceiling fan light fixture that the light flickers on and off when the generator is running and the light switch is off. If I turn the light on the light stays on, but with the light switch off the light flickers on and off. Its strange. Works as it should on utility power.
@timofthedeep9 ай бұрын
Yeah generator power is never as clean as utility so solid state lights sometimes do that.

These AC generators often run a few hertz above 60 especially under light load and this can upset some appliances. I had a similar problem with my Generac and resolved it by adjusting the engine speed governor to a lower speed resulting in an AC frequency slightly above 60 hertz (60.5 Hz).

I’ve been using the blue fuel hose for 20 year and never had it do what that is doing. 5 Ultralights and never an issue. Not sure what you got there but I have had some I would not use because it was cheap and hard from the gate. CPS, Aircraft Spruce and Bear Perkins all sell good quality blue fuel hose.

You're not supposed to use that stuff with any fuel higher than 10% ethanol. It turns rock hard and cracks and becomes brittle in some spots. sometimes it shrinks in diameter so you end up with loose fuel lines through grommets. And the weight of the fuel filter bouncing around in the tank will break off your fuel line in the tank. And, that's with just about any polyurethane hose. Guaranteed one season, maintenance the next spring.😭😏
