On impulseI bought Scorpion Generator mod ET950L, 800watts, in
Katherine NT. We are moving from
Sydney to
Nhulunbuy and we were using our Trailblazer and Engel’s fridges as freezers, to ferry in meat & frozen food, so we needed the power. We tried to start it at
Mainoru Store 300km from
Katherine, and the recoil start does not work. Very annoying.
There are no addresses or contact phone numbers with the warranty papers, nowhere is the name (or county) of the manufacturer or importer.
The road into
Nhulunbuy is pretty rough, 750 of mostly bad dirt, by the time we got here there was not a tight nut or bolt on the unit. It still has never been started.
If you are considering one of these then
check into it more thoroughly than I did.

Hi fellas
These genies are fast getting a good reputation, sounds like they forgot the predelivery on your unit, as with most imported gear they need a good going over and a tighten up. I quite often find bolts that need another turn and we also run all units under full load prior to sale. I have a 650w,2.5kva and a 25kva gen and have found them to be a very reliable unit.
Let me know if your stuck for repairs or parts
Cheers
Tony
