I took out the spark plug as I was getting ready to put this in service. Spark plug had been installed too tight at manufacturer. The rod that came with the spark plug wrench that was provided just bent when I attempted to loosen. Had to use my own tools to loosen plug. Pulled cord a few times to circulate a little oil then went to put plug back in. After hand inserting a few spins the spark plug binds. It is apparent the threads were damaged during manufacturing either because they overtightened, or had trouble and then got it in and overtightened them. I got it last week and this happened when I tried to get ready to put it in service on Saturday 1/31/09. I left message with all-power Saturday and called and sent e-mail today. Yet to speak with a non-recorded voice. I would not recommend buying one of these at this time. Stay tuned I will update my review when I get resolution. Feb 6. Was able to have local engine repair re-tap spark plug hole and I was re-imbursed for this cost by Amazon. Engine started fine after that and runs fine. I tested it with a few things and seems to work fine. One other item to watch out for. The version I received was cost reduced. The unit does not have engine hour meter or volt meter. Also gas connection is not on front panel as shown. Gas ties back to purge valve although you could disconnect there if needed. I am now satisfied with the generator after the initial problems.
