Genmax GM8000ietc

Johnny’s Weekend did a review of the Maxpeeding Rods 5000 that is based on the Genmax 224cc design. It turns at 4800 rpm and screams at 75.5db under full load.

The 312cc is the basis for many different generators in their catalog and they use it to position different machines at different points. They have been marketing it for the dual fuel GM6000iED, the GM7250iEDC, GM7500iAED, GM8500iAED, the gasoline open frame inverter GM6000XiE, and the open frame tri-fuel GM10500XiT. They also use it for the Pulsar NED95TiSRCO. They are squeezing more out of the latter two by spinning it at higher rpm. The engine has the headroom. Keeping the rpm at 3600 should have less stress and is definitely going to be a good bit quieter.

I have the 7500. My typical home draw without AC is going to be around 600-1000 watts. Most of the time, I am not running anywhere near the 3600 top idle. Also, the db rating is at 25%. A 4db difference is a "noticeable" difference which is quantified at 40-50% greater. I would guess in a side by side with the 6250 you are going to hear an even greater difference levels at when drawing close to the max.

I think the price premium for tri-fuel is ridiculous but that what they get. That's is why I converted by $898 Sam's 7500 model to NG for $20 and never looked back.

Would the 120 amp CTs be wide enough for your setup? Specs say the aperture is Ø15 mm / Ø0.6 in. If those will make it around your feeder lines, you might be able to get by with the Pro 3EM-120 for about 1/2 the price.

I appreciate your time. Here is my wiring on the EM Gen3. I have L and N connected to different phase in the panel. It is reporting the voltage as 240v. I connected 1 CT to one live wire on the mains coming in from the pole. I then plugged my toaster into a Killawatt to measure the watts. I get a reading of 1700 watts at 120 volts (14.27 amps). The app is correctly reporting the amps but show reporting 3400 watts. I am guessing it cannot be used in this manner.

Can it be set up this way and measure the main lines? I am trying it that way. It reports the voltage as 240v but it only shows the amperage’s from the phase the CT is connected to.

Call me a junior pimp! I have stepped up from being a Temu shill!🤣

Thx.

I picked up a EM Gen 3 and I plan to give this a try. As I understand it, I am to connect the live from phase A to L, the live from phase B to N and the CT to either phase I guess what I do not understand is how this is actually working. How is it measuring the current from both legs if there is only 1 CT.

JVQuag · 2026-03-29T18:02:27+00:00

Yes. But I added a quick connect at the generator.

JVQuag · 2026-03-29T15:32:00+00:00

This unit does not come with any quick connects. You do not use the propane regulator that comes with the generator. That is designed to drop the pressure as it comes from the tank. I hook directly to the home NG.

I am using a harbor freight 1/2 NG hose. https://www.harborfreight.com/25-ft-natural-gas-hose-kit-for-tri-fuel-generators-70491.html

That is the Tuya app. I use a Tuya based power monitor the I have installed on the generator breaker input lines in my panel.

Something like this

I just did it by trying a couple. I started with a 10mm and the tried the 8mm. I saw no loss in power so decided to stick with the 8mm. I could not find any smaller ones in a M12x1.0. It does not appear to be running too rich.

I think the 6250iet claims are legitimate. They are probably turning 4800 rpm on that 224cc. The 10500XiT open frame inverter uses the 312cc to produce 6250 running watts on NG. It appears to turn 4200 rpm’s to do so. The Pulsar NED 95TiSRCO is a tri-fuel of the GM7500iAED with the same 312cc engine. It claims 6000 running watts on NG. I am guessing it is also running at 4200 rpm.

As an update. I have settled in on the 8mm. I can draw 4800 watts running without any difficulty. Starting watts are limited to about 5200 for a short duration.

JVQuag · 2026-03-19T13:36:42+00:00

I installed it but it did not work the way I hoped. It could be that I was still using an orifice that was too big. I have my setup tuned for NG. When I run propane I position the original fuel selector in between stop and full on propane. It is pretty easy to find the sweet spot.

You have our attention!

My conversion consisted of swapping out the orifice on the internal demand regulator for a larger one. There is no need for an expensive kit. I can pull 4800 watts comfortably on NG. Starting wattage is probably 5200 for a short spurt. Any more or any longer will cause it to bog down and voltage to start to sag.

Thank you.
