I got a Champion with electric start, dual fuel and i simply ran a propane line to it from our home.
Nice. I'm finding that my Firmin tri blend will not power my central air on Natural Gas. Think it just requires too much initial surge wattage. How big is your generator?
I *think* I have a 3 ton unit for AC but need to confirm. I've heard you can get compressor/AC soft starts on your AC unit to lower the initial wattage/surge but still not sure if my Firmin can power that puppy.
But it powers like 3/4ths of my damn house. I need to work with it some more and find the right combination of stuff to run.

Did you try with gasoline? It’s probably still too small, just curious.

EasyStart
They are pretty damn easy to install.
