I bought a little 900W genny the other week

It says to use 10/30 oil,

Yeah, it's just a cheap and nasty one from Costco and the manual does
mention running it in


i thought all small Costco geneys were 2stroke?

THis one's 4 stroke


Out of curiosity how easy is it to start.

Gi'us a chance

playtime tomorrow ...

and the answer is ...


once I remembered to turn the fuel tap on, very easily

I have run it three times under a light load today and each time it
started first pull

as for the oil, putting in the 0.4l it says in the manual, causes it to
overflow from the filling hole, even after it's been running

It seems to want about half that
