The crimp-on fitting was allowing oil to bypass the clamp, spray on the engine and generator head. There is vent hole right on the top of generator head in a perfect place below the oil tube/air intake to breath in the oil and send it through the generator head. Just lovely.

>>> Same experience here in Canada. We installed two Ecogens last year, against our better judgement. Both were dead in under 12 months. One was rebuilt under warranty and promptly died again, no coverage in that case. Another was refused warranty as it has been used (sparingly) as prime power during construction, prior to being connected to the inverter system. No warranty if it's not connected to an inverter system on day 1! That model was promptly pulled from the market according to our local ASC, and has been replaced with something similar apparently.
