I highly recommend getting lucky at a garage sale. 4500W for $25 because after a professional tune up and then sitting for a year it wouldn't start. You guys on the list diagnosed it for me - the oil pan had warped just a bit and the oil level was low. Added oil and it started on the 2nd pull. Still have not used it for real, but very nice to know it is there, especially as we are on a well. BillR

I've always wanted something like that, a really small and light one. Cheap would be good too. But I think that for one's first generator you should get one that's capable of starting your refrigerator. I have a 1600W Coleman that will run ours, or our freezer, and a couple lights, a TV, the fan on the fireplace, etc. I've got many more, much bigger ones, but that is the one that saved our bacon, literally. The bigger ones allow for much more convenience, but you never forget your first time... -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
