NorthStar Trifuel Generator - 390cc, 8000 Surge Watts, 6600 Rated Watts

by NorthStar

Product Description

NorthStar Trifuel Generator packs 8000 surge watts and 6600 continuous watts! Switches effortlessly from gasoline to dry fuel without powering off and starts fast and easy in all weather. For years of long-lasting power, this generator uses a reliable, 100% copper-wound brushless generator head. NorthStar's V-mounts are designed to extend life by dampening and isolating engine vibration. The interlocking V-mounts have a rubber-isolation mount made with a specially formulated vibration-dampening elastomer that provides optimal flexibility. An interlocking bracket design allows NorthStar to use softer rubber, resulting in a smooth-running engine. Easy access control and outlet panel. Frame constructed from ERW hot-rolled steel tubing. The solid base provides a strong foundation for the generator and extends life by serving as a barrier between the ground and the generator. This prevents grass, dirt, dust and other debris from being sucked into the engine and the alternator. Muffler drastically reduces engine noise level. Not for sale in California. U.S.A.

I purchased this generator and wheen kit from Northern a few years ago. Until all the recent hurricanes I have not had much opportunity to use it. I am 100% satisfied with this little workhorse. It has never failed to start and my wife can pull start it on the first pull.

4.0 out of 5 stars be aware of restrictions for propane, February 5, 2008

The generator is great, neat and arrived in good shape with adequate instructions. Be sure to order the wheel set as it will make it easier to move and service. It's too heavy to schlep around by ones self.
When using propane be aware that this unit will not run off a 20 or 40 pound tank like a BBQ, Minimum tank size is 100 pound tank. If the latter is used, a pressure regulator (expensive) must be in the line. If hooked up to your own home supply of propane an additional regulator has to be installed. I recommend you specify a quick-connect whip for purposes of mobility and storage. Also, if hooked to your home supply of propane you must/should call your supplier each time you run it for any length of time so they can adjust your delivery schedule due to the increased usage. Better yet before ordering check with your supplier about codes (not all plumbers are insured for this type of hook up work) and equipment. Some are lenient others are not so much. Check if your house insurance is voided if an unauthorized tech hooks you up.
