Mine came with the normal jets installed, and a set of the high altitude and very high altitude jets in individual bags.
I also picked up the magnetic oil [wenproducts.com] dipstick for mine since generators don't usually have oil filters

Slickdeals keeps trying to change the store to Amazon in the listing for some reason. The amazon link is just for review comparison. The price is from the Wen site directly.

Problem with E85 (and even 10% ethanol) without stabil is that if you let it sit at all in the carb it will gum the entire thing up. You need to make sure you drain the carb and tank after you are done with any ethanol gasoline and a carb engine.
One thing to note with Wen is that most have a fuel shutoff notch on the Off/Run fuel dial. Even if not labeled there is a spot close to off that is mentioned in the manual for fuel shutoff. If you go far enough toward off that it shuts down, too far - move away just far enough that it runs smooth and wait 2-3 minutes, if it doesn't die you went too far toward on. It should run a few minutes and burn the fuel in the carb bowl then die of fuel starvation to keep things happier.
For me, I'm hoping my first inverter generator purchase is a long-term investment that I will use with my future RV, emergencies (natural gas hookup available on my property) and maybe tailgating. I realy want an enclosed unit for less noise. However, I dont know of any enclosed units that come tri-fuel from the factory, and modifying it to tri-fuel will involve cutting up the enclosure and thus making it louder. These cheaper open-frame units are enticing (as easier to adapt to tri-fuel), but I need to figure out if the increased noise is going to be worth it....
If ever going to be used for RV/Camping go quiet. These are find for a work site for the day or emergency power but not so great for recreation unless at a camp site with friends who will not complain. Even then, high quality cables to get the thing far enough away to be able to talk rather than shout.
Not that I drive anymore...
I don't need a whole-house generator, just something to run 1 fridge, 1 small freezer, and maybe a light or two.
If it's overkill, does anyone have any more cost effective generators that would be a better option?

This generator is good for sensitive electronics (TV, Computer, "smart" refrigerators) that normal generators can kill
https://www.amazon.com/Westinghouse-WGen3600v-Portable-Generator-Compliant/dp/B07167Y2CF/ref=sr_1_4?... [amazon.com] - Something cheaper like this would work. So it depends if you want to spend the extra 100 dollars and not have to worry about what you are plugging into the generator and if the generator will kill it.

I will just make a TT-30P with a L5-30R on a 20' wire.
Thanks. It was on my alert list since the last outage that rolled through NJ.

Its not enclosed or dual fuel, but for $400, it fit in my budget for an emergency use inverter. I wanted an inverter because, based on my research:
- They are quieter, especially in eco mode
- They are lighter
- They are safer for high end electronics

BUT, much much more $$ per kW from a capital cost perspective.
I found a good deal on a conversion kit, but I'm curious if anyone has installed a Nash kit?
How long for a novice?
