Dan, I have a Generac propane standby generator, about 15KW. The engine says Generac on it but I suspect it's really made by someone else. Do you know?
By the way, the only time it failed to start was caused by a dead battery. The 100 amp transfer switch is a knife-blade design so I suppose it could stick if it hasn't operated in a long time. There is a manual override but I don't think I'd want to open the box in a bad storm.

If I was going to put in another standby system I would shop around for a decent used commercial system. There are lots of them out there with few hours on them as "take outs". I had a 25kW Generac at my last house, but I got it through work as a take out from a very expensive (2.5M) home. Cost me $40 to get it running, courtesy of John, the Aussie guy with the MB shop. He could source the electrical part the engine needed that couldn't be found here in the States.
