The PF ICE (gas engine) generator thread

I just wish they'd come out with a 240V inverter generator with electric start. I found a briggs and Stratton in 5000/6500 config for $1419 shipped, but it's pull start only.

Two of LL’s harbor freight inv gens and parallel cables can be had for about $1400 total and give 240v. You can do the same with the smaller units too.

ummm... the parallel cables don't make 240V, they just double the current at 110v.

I am experiencing a power outage right now; a very sudden storm with 70MPH winds hit my AO and knocked out the power about five hours ago. It is somewhat warm and very humid here; therefore I am using my Harbor Freight 3500w inverter genny to power my fridge, a lamp, a couple of chargers, and a window mounted AC. These devices are pulling 1.9 amps from my generator. The generator started instantly (push button, battery powered starter), and is running quietly, doing work.

Folks, this generator is THE one to get.

Instantly thought of this thread last night when that storm blew through. Really tempted to pick one up. Thankfully i didnt lose power.

Ah Poop. You’re right and I’m dumb.

FWIW, I printed up LL's coupon for $659 and they gave me that price adjustment. That coupon works!

Got us through one power outage already. Startup was a breeze.

Oil change done, fuel stabilized, and it is ready to go for the next one.
