Cromtech CTG2500i Questions & Answers
MPN: CTG2500i
Hi, I have a Cromtech outback 2.4kva, it still outputs 12v DC but no USB or 240v, anyone know what the issue might be ?
Hi Guys and Galls my Cromtech stopped putting power out while running, it starts perfect it's in new condition, anyone have suggestions on how or who can fix it up here in the wide bay qld. please adbvise
Have you pushed in the little red breaker button? When the engine is running is the green light showing?
been there done that
When I start my Cromtech and connect the power to my caravan it trips the power safety switch in the caravan I’ve tried with all power and devices in the van turned off and it still trips the safety switch Any ideas why ?
Hi used my generator once haven't used it in a couple of months the now it won't run . It try's to start then after 2 seconds it dies
If you haven't stored it with fuel additives the carburettor is most likely varnished over. Needs a carb clean
Bought this approx Nov 2019, used to run caravan AC in backyard to make sure it works, was great. Left for approx 6-8 mths must have still been fuel in it. Would start but die every time. Service Agent pulled carb apart & ultrasonically cleaned, got to start but now surging. Says may be carbie, need a new one ???? Had about 1 hr run time in total.....pulling my leg or legit ??
Are these made in china? Or where are they assembled?
Yes, like most things these days. But they are designed for cromlins and to their standard
Mine fires but dies straight away. I've cleaned the carb twice but still same fault. Replaced the spark plug, tested the on/off switch and fuel is running to carb in the on position. Oil level is level with cap when level so all seems good. What might be the problem?
If it is like most generators it sounds like the pilot jet in the carby is clogged.When you unscrew the jet it usually has 2 larger holes in the side and 1 very fine hole in the end of it that gets clogged
Not so sure about it! It does NOT run my 2.2 KW Heron AC. I am using unleaded 91 octane fuel. Would it make any difference if I would use 98 octane premium? Cheers Norbert
Hi Norbert. No
Thanks Mick. Any suggestions? Cheers and merry Xmas Norbert
Hi Norbert, apologies for the blunt reply, struggled to type on this forum with my phone. I don't think higher octane will make much difference. My Cromtech will run my sons split system AC in his Jayco expanda. I believe that is a heron 2.2. Also runs father in laws Jayco split system. Not sure why yours doesn't. Maybe Crommelins can help.
Regards
Mick
Thanks Mick Don't really know what to do. It seems to run it for a while but when the AC compressor kicks in the Generator kicks out. Will ask Chromtech Merry Christmas Norbert
Maybe the hot water service was also on electric power at the same time as when you were trying to run the Heron 2.2
Take off auto idle, needs to run full noise.
What brand is the motor?
When I fill my crometech 2500i, Petrol goes into air filter and floods won’t start until I dry it all out! This now happens almost every time I fill it. Help anyone?
I dare say one of the check valves is not working properly and allowing fuel to flow when it is not supposed to... Unless it is a bowl type carburettor in which case your needle and seat which shuts the fuel off when the bowl is full is not sealing and flooding, and also flowing back into the air filter, needs a carby kit and/or a good clean out.
It works with the electric power of USA?
Absolutely rookie here - most of this stuff goes over my head. Will it run a fridge/freezer and charge two iPhones? I'm not even sure how long you have to keep a fridge/freezer connected to ensure the contents stay cool... Just going away for a night or two, and wanting to keep some bottled water, milk and some sandwiches cool.
Gday all good mate we all start somewhere. I have just worked this out. It will charge 23 Iphones and 1 80L engel fridge. So yes.
Will it run a roof mounted air con on my van?
Can't answer that without knowing the size of your van. Mine is 20ft and it has no trouble. If yours is 20ft or less it should be OK. If larger then then the a/c may draw more kw and you would need larger.
Ps My aircon is 2.8 kw
Size of van would only indicate size of AC. Knowing the actual running current of the AC would be more helpful.
Start up is considerably higher demand than running, up to 10 or 12 times to get it running.
I have a 1500w 240v single phase electric motor powering a desalination unit on my boat. I have tried a friends Honda EU 2000 but when under part load shuts down. Welcome your advice on the right generator. Run time when using is 1hour. Thanks Paul.
Paul, best ask a dealer
Start up requirement for a motor that size will be quite high, even though the motor is 1500w you may need a very much larger generator than 2kva to cope!
A reputable dealer should be able to accurately size the generator you will need.
David Michael Dickinson i have just purchased a van with the air command cormorant and wonder if you found an answer to your question. The dealer tells me a 2400w yamaha will run it even though its 2.8 kw so will the cromtech?
I dont know, ask to test a unit.
OK purchased the Cromtech Outback this afternoon and tried it out on the van whilst still at the dealers. Worked fine and powered the 2.8kw a/c without difficulty, also very light and and quiet. Its 20kgs compared to the yamahas 32kgs. I'm a happy camper.
Glad you got things sorted!
will it run a air command cormorant air con on my van?
Depends on the load of your ac. Best to ask the manufacturer.
Hi David
Sorry but I am not familiar with the a/c unit you ask about, my best suggestion is to phone Shaun or one of his excellent staff at mygenerator on 1300400122 & give them the a/c details, they will be able answer your question I am certain.
