Oh Boy. The Year 2000 bug looks like a boon to my shop! My lovely wife (a systems analyst at a rather large trucking company) came home last night after one of her many bouts with Y2K paperwork to an

Generators run unattended for long periods. If a crankshaft seal blows on a generatoryou'ld never know until too late. On a lawn mower, you'ld know! I think so. I have a Honda tiller (6 years) and a

Consider the climate where you live. In our area, we underwent a massive power outage in January; we were out for two weeks at our place, while some people were out for up to a month. Generators were

I would say "essential". During the much publicized ice storm that hit this area of Canada earlier this year, one of the things I found myself doing was learning on the spot how generators work and w

My girlfriend can pull-start our Honda 5000 watt generator with ease. She's not a big woman either. She can pull-start the 10hp Briggs engined chipper only after it's warmed up. The Honda has an opti

<SNIP> Directly, no. Through a UPS, maybe. You have to consider how the unit will be installed. Codes require special isolator switches to switch from the utility line to generator. If the generator

I consider it a warm fuzzy, especially considering that a new engine ain't cheap, and you probably want to be able to consider an emergency generator reliable (as in not broken/blown up). It seems li

Lets add to the question: what do you all think of the gas (propane or natural gas) generators. I like the idea of not having gasoline around and, usually, having a continuous fuel supply. A couple o

This brings up something I discovered during a recent outage... My well pump is hard-wired into the main panel. I had assumed that it was plugged into a wall outlet in the basement (dumb assumption).

Propane has less btu output than does gasoline. But, its shelf life is nearly indefinite. What I did is place a 300 gal propane resevoir tank by my motorhome which has a propane APU (auxiliarly power
