Sorry to hear this, when I were a lad Down East we'd use snow to wash with in the woods, not happy memories .

For those looking at generators, BE CAUTIOUS ! .

Some years back I bought a Chinese made copy of a 7KV Honda generator very cheaply "out of the box" , still new .

Turns out the decal telling you which way to turn the fuel shut off was backwards so it'd run a few minutes then quit...

I peeled off and flipped the decal and all as well .

The problem is (not was) : it's NOISY ! I'm deaf and it hurts my ears, I can only imagine how back it is to my neighbors .

Building salvage places often get in older but unused REALLY BIG gensets, maybe look there .

Agreed, propane / natural gas is usually better than gasoline / diesel because the genset tends to sit and after two years you no longer run it to keep it ready...


Here's hoping you get you power back soon ~ I drove to La. just after the Katrina mess, it was nasty .
