I have a Fischer Panda 4200 Series that will not start, sounds as if it's not firing....I have replaced the battery and I ve checked to make sure I have enough Fuel...Any advice on how to get her up and running would be greatly appreciated. ..
It seems like you may have an adjuster that is not holding. That would be an easy fix to replace a rocker arm and adjuster. If the valves themselves were not seating properly then the engine would not run OK as you indicate so it is probably that the nuts in the adjuster are not holding once tightened. Get another mechanic.I feel your pain. My FP is doing the same thing.
The mechanic wants to rebuild the motor as the valves just won't hold the proper clearance. .
I don't 'hate' FP generators. From everything I've read and those who have them down here I've met, they are troublesome machines. Very troublesome machines. Sure there are those who get lucky and for some reason theirs do the job w/o all the troubles that crowd the forums, but those seem to be in the minority.I wonder how many happy with FP and how many hate FP and how many are really been installed compared to other Generators and which ones have the most complaints.
Other than one minor problem with relays and I use mine a lot here in Florida and been very happy,I did did see here on this forum where their FP was sent back to FP for rebuild and was in a boat yard in Fl. recently and saw 2 FP Generators getting ready to be installed in boats and because of price only people looking for other Generators.
Just really wondering how many other owners of other Gen have had bad complaints and if FP is so bad how are they still selling Generators.

I've been looking for anyone who has any experience with the Phasor compact series gensets. I've posted on a couple of forums, including this one, and have not gotten a single response. Have you met any in your dealings with the NextGen people?I have the NextGen genset .
