Bought the 6000IG to power my fifth wheel. When it was delivered the battery was dead and wouldnt take a charge... had to purchase a new one myself because kipor blammed the vender I bought it from, and the vender blammed kipor as it was kipor's product... I gave up and bought my own. Engine cranked when I put the knew battery in so not wanting to travel with a full tank of gasoline in my camper, off I went to go CAMPING. Once I got to the site and filled the tank, the engine fired right up, about a half hour later, the fuel shut off was dumping fuel inside the unit. I shut it down, packed it up and was without power the remainder of the week... WHAT A NIGHTMARE! Got back home tweeked a few things and everything thing seemed to be ok. The next time I needed the generator, I made sure it started before I left home, however, once again as soon as I got to my camp site, the generator would not start, another week without electric. ANOTHER NIGHTMARE!!! So now I am working with kipor to drop the nearly 300lb peice of junk off at a shop located over an hour away from home. In conclusion, I expected to have a unit comparable to the honda 6K generator, instead got one of China's finest peices of junk...
