Weak choke linkage
3 Stars
Weak choke linkage
There is one very weak point in the choke linkage. Mine either came broken or broke with the first few pulls. There is a small rod that connects, with a spring, the choke lever with the choke plate. The mounting for this rod is clearly insufficient. When it breaks, the choke won't work and the unit is difficult to impossible to start.Customer service was excellent and after I showed pics of the broken part, offered a replacement carb but the warehouse was "out", so then offered to issue a return authorization.I wanted this size generator and needed it to be propane powered. I took the carb out and using JB Weld, better secured the little rod to the choke lever. Problem solved and the machine runs great. Getting a replacement carburator would have still meant doing this repair. The choke on this model WILL fail, probably sooner, maybe later.I sent pics of the broken parts and also of my repair, suggesting they be forwarded to engineering or the repair departments. I would hope that Pulsar's other models don't share this design flaw.

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2023
Al principio todo bien, con el tiempo el mini display de horas dejó de funcionar y empezó a tener mucha vibración, no tenía nada de carga solamente televisores celular y unas lámparas. con el tiempo empezó a tirar aceite y hace poco derramó toda la gasolina dentro del motor donde va el aceite y al yo prender mi generador sin darme cuenta lo que pasaba tiro una explosión por el filtro de aire y fuego, puede apagarlo rápidamente he llamado a servicio al cliente y no me dan atención no contestan la página de Internet marca error, me dicen que me comunique vía Chat virtual hasta el momento no hay respuesta no vuelvo comprar este generador de luz
No lo recomiendo
