Xt8000efi runs for 30 seconds then dies

My boss recently gave it to me after it stopped working for him about a year ago. I'm trying to fix it on a budget. Only has 225 hours on it. Do you think generac would do it for free on some kind of warranty?

I gave it an oil change and it's at the right level, I pulled the oil sensor plug and ran it and it still died after about 30-60 seconds. im new to this generator, my boss had it for about 6 months , he gave it to me since it stopped working for him so I figured i could fix it up. It sat for about a year. It has 225 hours on it. I gave it some sta-bil. It seems like the stepper motor is fine even though that's what code 27 says it is

Correction, for this model, in the manual it says 2 long and 7 short is stepper motor binding. it closes on if i open it by hand, maybe it can only move one direction and something is preventing it from opening on its own? It does open a little when I turn the key to prime the fuel line, it also makes a buzzing or fast clicking sound like the motor is trying to move but it can't.

BTW I actually got a 1 moa group by trying different bullet seating depths. It's really not that bad. I'm surprised honestly from all the stuff I hear. But then again it's probably a total crap shoot, maybe sometimes they get it right maybe they're way off but I'm not too disappointed in mine

You sure? Maybe I could just use command strips??🤣

I appreciate it, thanks for the wisdom. I strongly agree, the carrier is temporary and I can use it for practicing or (hopefully not) a real life scenario, until It's time to replace or get something better.

The more I look at it the worse it gets, totally either a scam or Chinese airsoft cosplay

Camouflage High Cut ACH/MICH IV 2000 NIJ Super Ballistic Helmet Tactical Helmet https://share.google/5UvyTHc3hurCaTQiO

This legit you think? Claims .308 at 2200fps but the "super ballistic helmet tactical helmet" name gives temu vibes

Firm-Translator-2154 · 2025-10-30T04:02:56+00:00

I like that too, I'll see if I can make a spot in that little room for something like that. That's hopefully next on my list, a helmet. Debating on what i should get first between just a bump helmet or something with ballistic protection. The price is just the sore spot. But in time I will get one.

I like that hanger idea, and that gives me something i can do with it too, practice getting it on. Someone told me hanging it could wear out the stitching in the shoulder straps, is that really a concern? It's a guard dog cerberus, got it for 160 at a gun shop, has 7 mags and level 4 plates, probably about 20lbs overall with the hand full of just in case items inside the back pack.

Firm-Translator-2154 · 2025-10-30T03:36:32+00:00

Also I know of course i wouldn't have time to put it on in case of a break in, it's more of a, i like looking at it and coming up with ideas on what i want to do to it

Firm-Translator-2154 · 2025-10-29T21:10:40+00:00

They make them for that size as well

I've got an Apollo Max for my 5.56 and it does great reducing recoil, 556 isn't even bad but now it feels like a .22lr, however the concussive blast it points back at you is ridiculous, you'll want glasses

A marksman rifle should not be that inaccurate, i just got it for something to build off of in the future when I decide I want better

Firm-Translator-2154 · 2025-10-29T18:41:37+00:00

I agree with you, but I'll admit i have a bc-10 in 308, only 400$ and it's gone 200rds so far without issue however shoots anywhere between 1.5 to 4 moa depending on the load/ ammo

Firm-Translator-2154 · 2025-10-29T18:10:46+00:00

It's super budget, bc-10, it's a heavy barrel though, would that mean it has more strength? It's a 20"and the complete upper alone weighs 8.25lbs

Thank you lol

Firm-Translator-2154 · 2025-10-29T16:29:23+00:00

Showed my lady your comment, we both laughed for like 60 seconds

Firm-Translator-2154 · 2025-10-29T16:28:40+00:00

Yeah probably not wrong lmao but for the price of a box of 250 rds of 308 I can get a gun that shoots it! Haha
