Is this generator fueled by gasoline?

Yes, use regular gasoline and always check the oil level of the generator before you start it.

No, it is propane. I think there is a separate kit you can buy to convert it to natural gas.

NG takes a different fuel to air ratio then LPG you would have to make some kind of modification to the carburetor. This generator has an unregulated voltage output and is the worst product I have ever bought from Amazon. I got my money back.

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, this generator has a fuel shut off valve.

No...as is, it uses butane fuel like MSR or Snow Peak canisters with 7/16 NS Lindal valves

My husband stated that it is gas only. He has been using the snow blower since last year and it's running great

The are designed to run on gasoline, mine is quiet an powers the house with no problem. I had a 6250 W generator that I was able to convert to LP for my Sister-in-law with a kit from US Carboration. It was easy to install, I think they also have natural gas kits. Some kits will run gas, lp, and natural gas. Check out their website: http://uscarburetion.com/

I'm pretty sure you would spend more on gas to run the generator than you will on electricity. That's just my guess.

It's electric, not gas. However, there may be adaptors to convert, but I don't know.

This features a 190cc Briggs & Stratton 675 Series gasoline engine. It is not battery powered.

I have ran mine for 8 hours under a full load and kept filling the tank, while the generator ran. Has been a great little generator. Just want to run the generator out of fuel while shutting of the gas.

I see only negative replies on the operation of this generator converted to natural gas. My natural gas BBQ is not a stationary appliance and I don't have the need for an embedded generator.

I mix 13 ounces of 2-cycle oil to 5 gallons of gasoline. I use regular octane fuel (the cheapest available). Here's some more information to insure the generator performs as long as possible for you. 1) Always start the generator with the choke on. The rich fuel mixture will keep it from back-firing (which will wear or break the starter dog in the pull rope assembly). Take off the choke after it starts. Use the choke to start it even if it is warmed up. Rule of thumb, never pull the starter rope without the choke being on. 2) When you shut off the generator, shut it down by shutting off the fuel supply. Let the generator burn the last of the fuel out of the carburetor bowl. This will keep the carburetor from lacquering inside (which would eventually clog the carburetor). I run these all the time as I am off grid (I'm using one right now). I have over 3,000 hours on one of them and it is still perfectly functional. These are great generators.

No it is not electric start, it has a pull cord that is pretty easy to use, and the generator only needs two to three pulls to get it running.

Yes they do, but in my opinion, unjustly. The problem is these generators set for long periods of time and the gasoline will draw moisture. Fuel stabilizer will not disapate water as most may think. Add some dry gas , prefareably methanol.

the one I have does NOT use gasoline. It is completely electric. Model # 870931. It is also oil free.
