A BRAND NEW model from Genmax, the GM4600iAEFIC has electronic fuel injection AND has parallel / series capabilities. Very few generators on the entire market (regardless of brand) have electronic fuel injection, and very few have the ability to be connected in series to make 240 volt output power from two, 120 volt inverter generators…. And I believe this new model from Genmax is the ONLY generator currently on the Market (at the time this video was recorded) that as BOTH of those features on the same machine. I’m sure others will be coming soon! This generator represents what the future of the generator market will look like. The fuel injection feature allows the generator to run with an ideal air/fuel ratio 100% of the time, at any altitude and in any weather/atmospheric conditions. Unlike carbureted generators that are usually running either rich or lean their entire life because carburetors don’t have the ability to adjust to conditions. Look what electronic fuel injection did for the automotive world. Could you imagine buying a brand new car in 2023, or 2024 with a carburetor instead of fuel injection? I certainly can’t. I am old enough to remember those days…. No thanks!
This video is a first look and overview of the machine. In the next video I will be performing full electrical testing and sound testing. Please be sure you’re subscribed so you do not miss the next video about this new Genmax generator.
In this video I explain (and show) how to install a Micro Air Easy Start soft starter on my Carrier A/C condensing unit. The air conditioner in this video is only a 1.5 ton unit but it’s locked rotor amp rating is still fairly high at 48 amps. That is a lot of inrush current to over come for portable generators that are being used as a stand by generator. Or even for a solar power battery bank and inverter system. It’s very hard to start A/C systems when NOT using grid power. The Micro Air easy starter lowered my inrush amperage from 47 amps down to 15-16 amps for startup current. Not bad at all! Once I am finished with showing you the installation that i did, I then connect my Genmax 9000 inverter generator that I use for backup power when the grid goes down in my area. The 9000 Genmax is a little bit overkill for my needs now that I have the Micro Air Easy starter installed but having extra power is never a bad thing in my opinion. I can now have the eco throttle ON when running my generator to keep fuel consumption and noise levels down while running my AC. The Genmax 9000 barely makes a burp when my air conditioner starts up and then instantly goes back to idle. This Genmax 9000IED generator is a beast when paired with a Micro Air easy Start. It’s a great combination that’s hard to beat!
An article about the Micro Air easy Starter:

The Easy Start addresses this issue by significantly reducing inrush amperage by up to 75%. This technology allows AC systems to be easily started and efficiently operated with generators and solar power banks, expanding their usability in off-grid locations or during power outages.
Additional Features and Convenience: Beyond its power compatibility features, the Micro Air Easy Start offers convenient features for users. With its built-in Bluetooth module, users can monitor and control the device remotely through a dedicated mobile application. Real-time information on voltage levels, power consumption, and operational status empowers users to optimize their AC system’s performance and energy efficiency.
Conclusion: The Micro Air Easy Start was specifically designed to address the challenges of starting and operating air conditioning systems with generators and solar power banks. By significantly reducing inrush amperage and providing seamless integration with alternative power sources, the Easy Start enables efficient and reliable cooling in off-grid locations, during power outages, or when relying on solar power. This innovative device not only enhances system efficiency but also promotes sustainable energy use. Embracing the Micro Air Easy Start opens up new possibilities for air conditioning systems, allowing them to operate effectively with generators and solar power, and contributing to a greener and more accessible future for cooling technology.
Generator Accessory Power Distribution Box With Electric Meters, Extension Cord, Spider Box
In this video I show the portable generator accessory power distribution box (some people call them a “spider box”) that I built to use along with my 240 volt GENMAX GM9000iED inverter generator. This can be used as a stand alone distribution box plugged directly into the generator, or at the end of a 25′, 50,’ 75′, or 100′ extension cord…. like maybe at a camp site, for example. OR, it can be plugged into the generator, then a 240 volt 30 amp extension cord plugged into the other end of the box which can be plugged into the inlet box on the back of my house to power my entire electric panel during power outages. The electric meters on the box show any and all power that is being fed through the box…. either through the outlets on the box itself AND through the 240 twist lock extension cord outlet on the top of the box. This way, when it’s powering my house, I can monitor the total power be consumed from the generator.
I am not in production of this electrical accessory. I made this for myself, for personal use only. This was built to fit MY wants and needs. I am not telling anyone they should build one for themself, nor am I telling anyone they should copy my design.
Cheap Generator Upgrades, How To, First Oil Change, Magnetic Dipstick, Oil Drain Hose
Today I show how to do the first oil change during the break in period on the new GENMAX GM9000iED dual fuel inverter generator and talk about a few budget friendly upgrades. I talk about engine break-in oil and why I use it. I also show a few new cheap and affordable products that will be installed to help prolong the life of the engine and make future oil changes easier with a magnetic dipstick and permanently installed oil drain hose. This 9000 watt inverter generator MIGHT be the only generator in this class to have any form of oil filtration whatsoever. I can’t be 100% sure, but I do believe none of the other brands who are selling inverter generators in the 7600 running / 9000-95000 starting category offer engine oil filtration. In this video I remove, inspect, clean, and reinstall the oil filtration screen. The screen did have some debris inside it but honestly, on this brand new engine, I wouldn’t be surprised to see even more garbage in the screen than it had.
GENMAX GM9000iED Best Dual Fuel Inverter Generator Great For Home Backup, or General Use
I purchased this GENMAX GM9000iED dual fuel generator to use as my emergency home backup power source. Of the three or four 9000 – 9500 watt inverter generators on the market (at the time of this video) I feel this model has the most features for the best price. (see below) I chose to use a portable generator for home standby electricity instead of a built-in Generac Guardian, QuietSource, or PowerPact stand-by because I have a fairly small house and I do not require more wattage than the 7600 running watts of this GENMAX. This generator will even start my home central air conditioning A/C condensing unit without a hard start, or Micro Air easy start kit installed. With our power grid in questionable condition, power outages can happen at any time, especially up here with our thunderstorms, lightning storms, ice storms, tornadoes, etc, etc. Even for those who live in hurricane country, this generator is perfect for those emergency grid down situations. Look what happened in Texas last year….. It never hurts to be prepared. For those who rely on a home oxygen concentrator or CPAP machine, extended power outages can be a real problem. Even those “Solar Generators” (basically a battery in a box) can probably only get you by for a few days, at best before you need real power to keep yourself going.
The specs of this generator are…. 120 / 240 volts. it has one 240 volt 30 amp outlet, one 240 volt 50 amp outlet, and two duplex 120 volt GFCI protected outlets. 458cc 4-stroke OHV engine produces 9000 peak watts and 7600 rated watts with 6.9 gallon fuel tank. As Low as 62 dBA Noise with 25%loading at 23 feet distance. CO DETECT Automatically turns off the generator when an unsafe level of carbon monoxide is detected. Low engine oil level shut off
The GENMAX GM9000iED compared to the “tool store” version of this generator…. The GENMAX is quieter! Its rated at 62dB, the tool store generator is rated at 67dB The GENMAX has a full digital multi meter showing power usage, the tool store generator only has an hour meter. The GENMAX has automatic engine choke with remote start, the tool store generator does not. The GENMAX has an engine oil filter screen, the tool store generator does not have any form of engine oil filtration. The GENMAX is dual fuel compatible (gasoline and propane), the tool store generator is only setup to burn gasoline. The GENMAX has a 50 amp receptacle built in so no adapters are needed when plugging in large RVs, The tool store generator does not have this. (And I don’t believe any of the other 9000 watt inverter generators on the market have it, either… at least at the time of this video)
The other 9000 – 9500 watt inverter generators are the DuroMax, the Predator, and the A-I Power. Although, I believe they all advertise the same 7600 running watts.
