    Agreed, but that doesn't mean that every case warrants the purchase of the best, and most expensive one. My Kipor has served its purpose very well so far.

    Two stroke but is that a problem?
    I'd stay away from those two stroke ones. Up your budget to £250 ish if possible and keep an eye out for a used Kipor etc.

      I looked at at those a few months back, they were £153 then. It's the thought if they go wrong and that they are 2 stroke, not into mixing fuel, takes me back to my moto cross days lol. I'm just trying to get a deal on the tgi1000's cracking little thing if anyone wants one?? Got him down to £279, gonna see if I can get him down to £250 which is a good price

          Update:

          Took a punt on an apparently used but grade A condition Kiam km1000i

          First surprise was it was packed up in the original box with instructions when the ad stated it may not include either

          Secondly it looks absolutely brand new, not even a single scuff on the rubber feet

          I removed the side cover to fill with oil and again it all looks brand spanking in there too

          I removed the oil plug and tipped the genny over and it looks like it's only got a dribble of clean assembly oil inside so another good sign

          I filled it with oil and fuel and primed the fuel with a couple of pumps of the the pump on the top of the fuel cap and switched the main switch on and the choke to the "start" position and I sh@t you not it started first pull

          I ran it for maybe 10 mins with no load on it to give it a good start in life, then got my charging kit out and started a charge on a pair of 6s 5000's at 10 amps with the smart throttle turned on, it gave a little stutter as the amps ramped up and settled at it's higher rpm, same result with a 20amp charge

          I probably won't charge at any more than 2c on a pair of lipo's at the field so this'll do me nicely really chuffed with it so far for the money

            Looking good fella, I fell onto a cracking little 1000w Clarke and it does exactly what is needed. I'll be honest, trying to do 4-6 5000's it does sweat abit, but I'm just impatient, will do my 4 3000's in no time and with out a murmur [emoji576]

              I recently got myself one of these ... only used it a few times - but no problems so far. For the price, with a 1-year warranty from a UK dealer, I'm happy. The engine is a Hyundai so I think that's fairly solid.
