Review: Easy swap - Original hotstart on generator had malfunctioned, electrical short that caused part of it to melt. This was a plug and play part, fit right where the old one was and worked right off, the cord was a little shorter but not a big deal.
Review: Hot start starts hot! - I have a ford Lehman 120 in my trawler. As the weather got chillier, the engine was harder to start. On a recommendation from someone in the trawler group I checked out Hot start. Selected the item I thought would suit my needs, ordered and installed. On cold days, the engine starts easier then it does in the summer!!!
