Hello anons,
Its my first time posting on here. Looking at getting a generator to power my house if I lose power this winter. I just need to power some freezers, a furnance fan and tv, charge phones and stuff. Nothing big. But i live at 7500 feet and will be running it on propane, both things cause power output loss I believe.

Any one have recommendations or experience with generators and high altitude? Thanks.

I have gas for it as well, but my 55 gal tank is in my truck bed, figure i can use gas or my 100gal hankhill tank. but think I need to do something to the carb so it can get more 02 or someshit.

Just put a turbo charger on it.

Get a honda EU2000, get the .6 mm (IIRC) jet, never worry about it again.

Buy one rated at a higher output and assume a lower maximum. Unless it's turbo or supercharged, you're not getting around the altitude (lack of oxygen) problem. It's the reason older IDI diesels started getting equipped with turbos.

champion has carburetor jets for their generators when used above 5500 feet. IDK if propane need a different jet.

if you want the gasoline jet you just have to request it.
