Interesting conversion. After watching a lot of generator repair videos, I was under the impression that you would need a tri-fuel carb to really achieve this conversion. You also mentioned the expense of a 3/4” quick connect kit. Amazon has these for about $50 and they come with a quick connect and 2 fittings (one with male end and one with female end) which would have eliminated the need for the 3/4” nipple you used. Wondering if that snorkel end should have passed thru the hole in the butterfly flap on the carb - maybe would have allowed the flap to work correctly? Most dual fuel gens have a fuel selector knob that ties into the electronics some how - wondering what effect not having one does?

Why in the world would you remove the spark plug?

No .. permit ... would ... ever ... allow .. you .. to do this.

Don't use teflon pipe dope on gas.

So how many turns on the load block did you end up at, to be able to run the AC? thanks.

I'm considering a Champion...LPG & Inverter. Your gen seems a tad loud from inside your kit, don't know if door left open. Might be a concern for nearby neighbors. I'm wondering if your immediate AC pwr-less neighbors "might allow" themselves to become bothered after listening to your gen during an extended commercial pwr failure. Also, your gen seems to be surging. Good to make your gas shut off both child and idiot proof. Just don't misplace the handle.

Where’s your regulator? That’s a potential disaster you just created.

Where did you find a 3/4 quick connect fitting?

Will using 1/2in supplies instead of 3/4in work? My generator came with a 1/2 in quick connect, so figure just keeping it all 1/2 in.

Good video sir.

Never mount the capacitor upside down because the electrons will spill out! Actually so that the water tight fitting will not hold water and potentially leak.

I appreciate sharing your actual experience, problems and all. From MN and needless to say I am also thinking workarounds for freezing temps, snow, and ice. How did you solve access to the panel (or maybe you haven't had the chance?) - a small roof/shield? I'd also like to see a reference or hear more about that power usage sensor. It looks pretty handy. One last question. I've looked at a couple other videos from you as I am also installing the snorkel for NG. You went with gasoline, and I am wondering if you hadn't had the NG system hookup yet? Thanks

Nice work very helpful! The tip on the disconnect pointed down is interesting.

Why would you start two appliances that you wouldn’t normally use in an emergency? An oven, really?

HP is a function of wattage 746 watts to 1 hp.

what is the puddy that you are applying to the gas pipe and how do you test for no leaks?

Do lights flicker or dim when AC starts and generator is running on natural gas?

You should snug up your new gas valve packing. Don’t gorilla it, just snug it up. They occasionally come loose from the manufacturer. Great informative video.

Hey this comment has nothing to do with the video but I loved your house generator videos. I was hoping you could make a video on that sense app you used to gauge everything. It was super helpful for you and I would love to know how to get that set up in my house as well! Thank you!

So does this make the main kick if it detects a surge?

Buy an electronic gas sensor

Too easy on yours

Nice that yours has a full size port on it. Mine is only a 1/2" cap, the distance I need to run I need 3/4 line, so I need to have someone come out and add my output for my generator. I am going to see how much more it would be to add ~20 feet of pipe so I can use a shorter gas hose and power cable.

will make a great "Dirt Catcher" and prevent the quick connect valve from properly seating at some point in time. The plug should have been put in the downward pointing section and the Quick Disconnect on the end fitting to prevent dirt from entering the internal valve. Thats my opinion anyway.

Awesome video Thank you sir!

Watch the throttle arm/spring. It starts missing and it is a chain reaction that gets it in a rhythm of putting it back and forth. You can see it in your video plan as day. I hate this design! What you are saying is not the reason for that specific miss. I don't know a fix, other than hold your finger on it and push until idle is correct them adjust throttle screw to that setting. Not an easy task...I do it on mine. But as soon as you plug something in that pulls more power you have to play with it again. Horrible Horrible design on this throttle linkage.

Thank you - how do i reset those codes though if i dont have one lf those devices? Autozone?

Hello from Houston. Good video, you made it look so simple. I just got my electrician hooked up the electrical box, i now need to have the gasline ran for my trifuel Duromax. Do you do hookup homes or know anyone who does that you can recommend?

Hey men.You spend the whole video with the scanner and didn't solve the problem, come on men.

Thank you for sharing this experience. Now I will be adding outside solar lights near my panel. Who knew the outside of my panel could freeze up.

2.) The initial starting delay could also have been caused by the need to purge air out of the regulators and fuel hose. That's typical for any natural gas or propane fuel hose assembly when it's first put together - you have to run all the air out of it and that can take a moment before an engine or burner lights up. This was especially noticeable years ago when gas appliances had standing pilot lights. One would have to wait a bit before the air was pushed out of the lines and gas finally made it to the pilot orifice.

The direction in which you wrap with the thread wrap tape sort of matters. Ideally, you wrap in the direction that you are going to turn the male fitting after attaching the two pieces. This is so the exposed, cut end of the tape is pulled further tight as opposed to the male fitting trying to unwind or bunch up the tape end. In practice, I've never seen much difference, but this is what most plumbers say and it definitely can't hurt things to pay attention to this. You may have paid attention to this on your joints, but it wasn't always clear in the video.

I was wondering if you were going to mention the price of the hose. I don't remember the length of mine but I certainly remember the cost. $430. for a 3/4" I.D. custom length hose. It's an oddball length because I bought exactly the length I needed. The funny thing is my brother wasn't about spending that kind of money so he bought a 3/4" decent quality garden hose, cut the ends off and has been using that. There's very little pressure in a gas line so it works just fine.

If you get one. Look at the clear plastic cover carefully. I have two of their Flex units. Both have a defect in the cover in the same place that looks like it would compromise the seal and allow moisture in. Not sure how I will proceed.

One of the best series of instructional videos I’ve seen; comprehensive, thorough easy to follow. Keep up the good work. You’re highly regarded.

This generator but with the NashFuels conversion kit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKe1o5agqM-ghbM

Great video, thanks for sharing.

Great job, thanks much for doing the video!

Do you have to have a natural gas regulator in the flexible line between the quick connect and your generator? I have seen some videos say you do and others don't mention a need for it. Thanks for doing this video.

Do you need a permit to connect to the gas connection since it own by the city?

Was the AC unit able to cycle off and on when you turned everything else on after the AC started?

Great video ! Down here in Houston trying to get setup for the next storm after Beryl. BTW, what is the app that you use at 14:00 to turn off the AC, fans, etc.. ??

What was the purpose of using a T with a plug? Why didn’t you just use an elbow after the new shutoff valve?

Is your generator a 50amp or 30amp?

A lot of people do not realize there can be a significant amount of carbon monoxide accumulation in the attic when they run their generator close to the house or in a narrowed fenced area close to the house. The ventilation soffits under eves of the house to help cool the attic can draw up the exhaust/carbon monoxide into the attic and then inside the house. This past winter the news reported the death of a family and pets due to carbon monoxide poisoning. The generator was near the side of the house in a narrow gated alley area. They determined the carbon monoxide accumulated in the attic from ventilation soffits. Please keep your generators approximately 20 to 25 from the home and in a well ventilated area. Always good to have carbon monoxide detectors in multiple areas of the home when using natural gas appliances as well as a generator. Houses in the past 30 years are much more energy efficient compared to the past. Older houses can be drafty if they were not modernized. This did help prevent carbon monoxide accumulation because fresh air was always coming into the home.

For the price of the Easy Start; which is no longer selling the smaller ones, I would like to have more data. Like... How much electricity is it going to save me? If it doesn't then how many years is it going to add to my A/C unit? Don't have answer to these questions? Then just so I can use a smaller generator is not a good investment criteria. Easy Start priced themselves out of the market buy just selling the commercial units only. End of story. Or better yet get a split cooling unit that has a heat pump instead!

I have a window unit I can quickly deploy into a bedroom window that I power from my similarly-propane converted Wen GN400i generator. I think it's reasonable fuelwise to run lighter loads if possible during an outage, and my little gen runs it well, along with my fridge, deep freezer, and a couple lights. Since it's 120v only, installing a generator inlet plug really isn't an option, so I just use extension cords. I want to install a natural gas quick connect next for it as I don't have but a few days worth of propane, but can always go back to gasoline so it's making it a bit hard to justify the cost. Anyhow, this little genny kept the natural gas furnace working well during the big Texas chill quite well. I'm debating on a 2nd unit for redundancy.

Nice video. Which energy monitor are you using in the video? I think you said Sense? I need one of those.

Why would you run it under water?

Jonathan, Do you have a video about how you did the electrical hookup from your power cord to the circuit breakers? Looks like it works well. What kind of transfer switch did you install? A Generac HomelinK?
