Side note: All tires are at end of life after five years.No brand wheel and tire combo from Ebay.
Never had a problem with Cheap China Tires before. They usually start losing air after 5 years due to dry rot.

In the RV world they are known as China bombs, and its so true. I had similar situation except it was the 4th July weekend. Took forever to locate anything. Like bikes and bike parts its become impossible to find anything RV part related.No brand wheel and tire combo from Ebay.

There's a China bomb legend in the RV world indeed, but it's not at all clear if it's valid.In the RV world they are known as China bombs, and its so true.

One just needs to read reviews, hardcores will tell you to toss the ones off your brand new RV.There's a China bomb legend in the RV world indeed, but it's not at all clear if it's valid.
That's my experience of many times. It drives me nuts and fuels way too many desperate searches on e-bay and obscure obsolete bike parts pushers online...Have you ever bought something that you thought was going to be great,
only to soon be disappointed in it's performance? I have many times. Now
for the makes me frown part!
When I get a product that far exceeds my expectations and even after a few
months of use I find I'm really happy with it, so happy I want another one!
When I try and buy it though everywhere I look is either says "out of stock",
or "discontinued by the manufacturer". It really sucks that some of my great
finds cannot be replaced.
power flickered at 1am and i literally almost threw up cause if the sump pump doesnt run i would be bailing out with buckets.Yesterday afternoon I pulled the generator out of the shed and ran it for 15 minutes just in case I needed it. Started on the first pull and no leaks so ready to go right ?
Not so fast ....
This afternoon after the increased warnings and stuff I decided to skip meetings and bring it up to the side of the house to have it ready to go. Dragged it across the yard and staged it in the usual spot and started it up no issue. Shut it down and smelled gas. Yup carb overflowing again!! FML.
Blew off work from 3-6 and tried to fix it. Cleaned the bowl and needle valve twice. Leaking. Then on final assembly the choke linkage would not work so left it disconnected and put it all back together. Used a paper clip to adjust the choke and hold it in place. Pull start. Success.
Ran it for 5 minutes. All good.
Nope. Leaking fuel. Totally F’d. Hope we don’t lose power.
New carb and choke assembly ordered will be here Friday. 🤬🤬
