    Also would you guys buy a generator with low hours say under 10 that was used?

    depends on the price, really.
    I'd want to see it run with a load on it before handing over cash. a couple space heaters plugged in is a good enough test.
    I'd then plan on doing an immediate oil change at the very least.

    FWIW, I decided to go ahead and take advantage of the $100 discount on the Generac through costco.com that expires tomorrow 8/4. I may yet still wind up with the Harbor Freight inverter as well, but with hurricane season upon us I didn't want to miss out on the discount.

    Now to come up with the $50k for new windows so I don't have to run around the house with an impact driver, hammer drill, and cart full of plywood like some kind of day laborer every time the Atlantic sneezes at me...

    I love it, I can’t recommend it enough. There’s no other locally supported (at your local HF store) generator Thor can compare.

    I'm still a proponent of their 8750 generator.

    Finally ran the new Generac over the weekend. electric start on a generator was new to me and pretty cool.

    One potential point of concern for me in the future is that the gas is sucked up from the top of the tank and there's no drain plug, so from a seasonal-storage perspective I'm not sure how that'll work out.

    As good a place as any to ask this...

    Gas storage? In the construction industry it’s metal cans only, but I’m open to plastic if it’s stable in a hot garage for storage. Found some round steel cans but they are expensive (may be what it is, and that’s ok) but seems to me that square would be easier to store. Links to specific products appreciated.

    No fuel line that you can pull/unclamp?
