Re: [MBZ] OT Small home generators
Mike Thanks for the input, sounds like what I'm looking for. Can you provide some more info, where, what and how much. Starts easy, hard ? Harry I have one of the four stroke 2000w models and I love it. It runs the sump pump and lights very well if the power goes out. It will start the fridge sometimes but it doesn't like it. Power is not very clean or steady. I wouldn't suggest one for running a pc as it makes terrible interference when i tried to run the tv. Works great for power tools too. Weighs maybe fifty pounds. Runs for FIVE hours on one gallon of gas. Mike Anyone have experience with these small units? I see them for ~$150, 2000 watt, both 2 and 4 stroke. I have a 4500 watt that handles the fridge, TV and lights. That's all I really need down here in the south. However, I would like to have a back up for the back up that would be small enough to haul around by hand and use away from the house.

Re: [MBZ] OT Small home generators
Harry, I have no idea on the make..it looks like a honda engine clone. I bought mine at Grossman's bargain outlet on clearance for $138 with tax and all. It has really been a lifesaver, i can carry it anywhere, it is extremely quiet and starts easily. Set the choke and give it a couple pulls is all it takes. Only complaint i have is that for whatever reason, it wants to be on level ground or setting with the petcock downhill to run right.

Re: [MBZ] OT Small home generators
Thanks Mike, it sounds like one I've seen in a magazine for $150, I thought it was a Honda at first. I'll do some web searches. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2008 4:34 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT Small home generators Harry, I have no idea on the make..it looks like a honda engine clone.

Re: [MBZ] OT Small home generators
I got one for a friend at Meijer supermarket last spring. Regularly $150, paid $90. Two stroke, runs on premix, Rated 1000W instantaneous, 850 continuous. Harder to start than I expected. Weighs 40-45lb, if you just pull the starter rope you yank it right off the ground, so you have to hold it down like a chain saw. Reasonably quiet, but you're limited in what you can do with it. It could run a refrigerator, but I bet it can't start one. Anything larger than this you should definitely go for a 4 stroke.
