re: Has anyone had experience with "Preditor" generators from Harbor Freight?

common issue with the "low oil" pressure switch that will keep it from cranking, just unplug a connection

I believe it is an oil level switch, not a pressure switch.

Also I can say it saved me one time when I actually ran one low on oil. Might have locked up the engine otherwise. Be careful - if you unplug that sensor, be sure to check the oil often.

Also be sure to run the generator on a level surface. It needs to be level to be able to sling the oil where it needs, and it will sometimes trip on low oil level if the ground is sloped.
