The official "I want a shitty generator thread"

I wanted to see how much of a pain it'd be to start cold. Starts very easily. Even easier with the button.

 

From some of the reviews I've read be sure to do an oil change (or two) in the first handful of hours.

 

I plan on it. First at the five hour mark, then probably 20 or so.

 

Find the MFG label on it, I'm curious if it came out of the Ducar factory like my Westinghouse.

 

Friday score! Went by Harbor freight to pick a predator 3500, they were out except for the display model which they sold me for 20% off!

 

and a new player enters the field....

That looks suspiciously like my Westinghouse, must come out of the same Ducar plant. There are a whole bunch using that design that just hit the market.

 

I'm gonna buy a bunch of them blue turds, slap some Yamaha stickers on them and sell
Them for $500 to y'all idiots.

 

^ Robby, saw an article this week where Costco sold fake Tiffany rings for $3.9M in contribution, but lost the inevitable lawsuit for $19M plus court/legal fees.

 

Did it come with a complementary ninja 250 and vouchers for a race season in D? Or do you have to mail away for it.

 

The dog is pretty cute but it's a bad judge of character.

 

Used my EU1000i, purchased in '02, unmaintained 'til the oil light came on. Added some oil. Still running...haven't added/changed any oil or performed any other "maintenance" procedures. Pump gas, ethanol, whatever...let it sit for years sometimes. Doesn't matter, it's starts, runs and pulls the loads. The EU2000i, purchased in '04, gets the same treatment tho' its "low oil" light has yet to come on.
All I need is the now unavailable parallel kit. Yes, Honda had a kit to connect the 1000 to the 2000.

 

He probably would not have liked you if you were wearing "the pants"...

 

You can DIY a kit for way less. Seen people connect 3-4 2000's in parallel

 

Probably would have tried to come home with me if I was wearing "the pants". But they are not coming with me to TX so you, the dog, the family and TX are safe.

 

Yes, but that's "like" generator outputs. I want to link dissimilar gennies...which you used to be able to do with the Honda kit. No more.

 

I bet someone out there has out it was done and it can be replicated.

 

Yeah. I might/could figure it out. I believe the issue that removed that particular kit was people incorrectly connecting the cables and frying the little gennie.

 

Don't confuse him, he will be looking for rings with a picture of a girl named Tiffany on them
