I just bought one too and I am having probs with it. It came with oil in, I made sure i checked when it wasn't playing.
Keeps starting, running for about 1min then cutting out and not starting at all.
But it seems to have a phobia of race meetings. I tried it the first time I got it at a race meeting and it kept cutting out. got it home checked the oil, fired up first time and ran for about an hour. got to my second meeting and it fired up first time, then as I walked towards it with the extension it cut out and wouldn't start.:wtf:

I got home cleaned the plug up and it fired up....then cut out after 1min, and won't start now.

Come back my trusty 12v!

Once you have started it are you switching it onto run from start. If so this is why it will be cutting out as it is being over fueled:p

yep, once it warmed up i was switching to 'run' from 'start' just as it said in the instructions. I'm wondering if the choke isn't switching properly.

ahhh but have you turned on the breather in the filler cap

Yep.:)

I've done pretty much everything it tels you to do in the instructions.

take it you pput petrol in it tel ;)
mates did this and it had oil in but not enough, low oil switch was cutting it out, have you topped the oil up to max or even changed it?

what could you run off a (650watt continuous ) generator :confused: ie how many chargers and stuff you would use on race day

ive ran my charger, iron and smart tray, also bathys i pod speaker from my 650w genny and it hardly flinched.. i'm yet to try anything to stretch it limits..

You should be able to run a fair whack, a few power supplies, with 2 chargers on and the odd iron or two. Petrol consumption will go up though the more you put on it

no no no get a proper genny them two stroke thingy me bobs are shite get a four stroke cheapy to run bit louder downside but they are reliable;)
