If you are going to buy a generator. Do some checking first. I have people come into my shop all the time. With some off the wall genset that they bought for a real cheap price. At some auto parts store or big box store. Low hours and now burned out or engine is bad. For most I have to turn them away. Because I don't have the time to spend days looking for parts. Most of them have no dealers and no parts support. I have three at this time. Low hours one has only around two hours on it. Been looking six months now for parts.
Called one of the big box store sellers. I was told we just sell them. We don't have parts for them. Don't know anyone that does. So do some checking before you buy. Get a name brand might cost more. But it will be better than the 300.00. One sitting in your barn with five hours on it burned up and no one to fix it.
