    Had a similar problem after using it for awhile. Spark arrestor was plugged. Very simple fix.

    This unit was brand new, so no chance the spark arrestor was plugged. After disassembling the carb, there was some type of debris in there causing the problems.

    Got mine from Amazon in June and had same issue. Once I put a full tank of gas in it fixed problem. Runs great ever since.

    Full tank or not, it wasn't happy. It would run smooth for a bit, then would get rough assuming some of the foreign debris in the carb got pulled up again. After cleaning the carb, its a smooth running machine as you saw. Thanks for the comment and the watch! :)

    I got mine 2 weeks ago for $599 too. Pretty pleased with it so far. I had no problems with mine.

    Funny, I received the same generator this week and it wouldn't stop surging upon initial startup. Troubleshooted for 2 hours and couldn't figure it out. Started a return through Amazon and they just refunded my money and said don't worry about returning it. Called WEN and they said it was most likely a lose connection between the stepper motor on top of the carb and the inverter. Checked and that cable was never plugged in from the factory and immediately ran perfect after that. Seems like their QC control is costing them a lot of money.

    Yes, 100% certain. The build sheet lists a 15k BTU AC as well as it has 15k BTU plastered all over the internals, under the facial in side.
