The engine was not used, and kept as an auxiliary. I did go through the break in procedure however. It is the 25 inch model.
The motor runs on propane, which has the advantage of less maintenance or worry about gas related (ethanol) issues. 1 lb of propane can run the engine in excess of 1 hr depending on throttle amount. Fuel is very cheap/runtime and can be used for grilling!
I will also provide a 20 lb full propane tank, and a flame king refilling kit with a 1 lb refillable cannister. refillable cannisters are also sold in 10 , 11 and 5 lb models.
