Great information

What do you think about the new generac generator 18kw generator. Do you know doses it uses 2-3 gallons of LP per day. On a 500 gallon propane tank. ? Are the new generac generators uses less Lp during a power Outage. At full load.

I haven't installed any of the new 18KW generators. I do use the manuals and the product guides to view fuel consumption but I try to keep the generator purchase affordable. I talk to the owner about how much power they need to get through a power outage - not necessarily powering their home as if the utility power was still on. Especially on Propane where their; heat, hot water and cooking may share the same fuel. The cost of that fuel, the dependability of their supplier - especially in adverse conditions and their tank capacity. ( The LP fuel suppliers "use to" give you the tanks for free but now charge for them. ) Affordability is best in the 8-11KW range where fuel consumption is more tolerable, I believe the largest generator I've installed, for residential, is a 14KW.. I would say that although the required pressures have come down over the years and the exercise cycles use less fuel - your daily consumption is far lower than I would expect.. I would expect that an 18KW, at full load, would consume 3 gallons of LP fuel per hour. I wish it were per day..

Any chance you can send me a picture of the throttle motor and spring/ linkage? My spring fell off and I don’t see how it’s supposed to mount.

I believe that if you do a search for "stepper switch" problems or replacement you'll get a better idea of what you're looking for and possibly why.

I just added a video of the spring attached to the stepper motor arm. (not part of the actual stepper motor so ordering a stepper motor won't get you the spring.) On hold with Generac as we speak trying to get the part or even the part number.) I got a service call right after my first reply to this request.
