I have reached out to the sales support team as they did not list a kit for my generator. After emailing and speaking with 2 different guys, they still have not gotten back to me for the kit I need. They must be extremely busy. At any rate, I'll keep on them Again, thanks for the info Sous.
@MKrenn , I had to order a kit that fit the carburetor, not the generator on my Westinghouse. I spoke to Zack and he was very helpful. Try calling first thing in the morning.
I don't think the adapter is available for the propane conversion is not proprietary. You may be able to find another company offering the same thing.
When I called about the custom kit, it was during the Texas freeze and they were crazy busy.
Let me know here or via PM if you think I can help in anyway.

I heard back from Zach. He has all the part numbers. However, none come up when I do a search on them. I will have to call in as I'm sure they are crazy busy....
Update: Just got my order submitted. Good to go....
After reading about someone else's dual fuel generator if I happen to get a generator, I'm thinking a dual fuel is the way to go.
I've a 3500 sportsman dual fuel, I've always run it on LP.
I'm really happy, works well with the load shifter on the thermostat, but I lust after a pair of LP fed Honda 2500 inverter generators.
I notice that natural gas puts out less power than propane does, so did they tell you approximately what your 6500 continuous on gasoline will do on natural gas?
I have one similar I was thinking of doing the same thing to.

@ibdagriz , I am sorry I missed your question earlier.
They did not tell me what the power output would be, but the rule of thumb as I understand it us up to 10% less. Although, this has not been my experience as of yet.
I tested an 800w heat gun and 1400w space heater at the same time with my 2500w Westinghouse suitcase generator and it was reading 100% capacity, but did not shut off or pop a breaker.

Good to read that things worked out!
I placed an order last week for our 6500w continuous generator last week in order to go tri-fuel on it. Just nice to have the options if needed.
Got the install done yesterday. The kit is awesome with very few modifications. The only thing I would like to change is the regulator input plumbing. There is a 90 degree elbow with a couple of unions that I'm going to eliminate. Going to install an NPT to flare fitting. Then I can connect my hose right to that. At any rate, a very good kit at a good price ($200 including shipping). Hope this helps.
Thanks for sharing a picture and your thoughts. The kit for our big generator will be here tomorrow and I'll likely install it next week. Should quick and easy since it is not a suitcase style generator.

Awesome. Post a photo when you complete your install.
Everything went together great and it fired up on the first pull.
I adjusted the throttle screw a bit and put everything away.
Nice to have the tri-fuel capability if we need it.
Regulator mounted to frame and supply hose routed around tank for storage.
Engine side with supply line going to carburetor adapter from regulator.
Carburetor adapter between air box and carburetor.
Fired up and running smooth on propane.
Very nice looking and clean install Sous. You may need to do some fuel adjusting when you have a load on it. I had to with mine, but, mine is a much smaller generator, so, you may not need to. Nice work!

Agreed sir!
On the small Westinghouse I adjusted to a smooth idle, then a smooth max power output and it idlesd fine after the second adjustment.
I have a 15mm wrench and large screw driver tapped to the top of the large generator in case I need to adjust the throttle/gas flow when it is being used as a power source.
Would you mind posting the part numbers for the igen 2500? I have an identical generator that I would like to convert. Thanks!
I will have to look through my email receipts to see if I have any part numbers. I originally called Zack at https://centuryfuelproducts.com/ in order to purchase what I needed since the iGen 2500 was not on the website.
He sent a kit that fit the carburetor and other parts that were universal like cutoff valve, hose, etc.
I'll update tomorrow when I have access to my laptop.
I purchased the following kit/parts from Zack at Century Fuel Products on 2/26/21.
After the purchase of the specialized parts, I researched and selected QD fittings and adapters to use the external propane nozzle on the 5th wheel. This allows me to use a propane tank from a BBQ or the tanks within the 5th wheel within just a few moments.
