Stopped by a garage sale and could not pass up an 8 hp Homilite LR4400 generator - looks to be in good cosmetic shape, for $25. It does not have an owner's manual. It does have the dreaded pull start Briggs & Stratton engine that I have had such a hard time starting in the past. Do any of you have any comments about getting it started? I had planned to just give it a shot of ether. My mechanic son is heading to the Middle East for some months and won't be around to help until much of hurricane season is over. PO used it two years ago [area lot power for a week], had it serviced at the end of '04 and then did not start or use it for the '05 season [has service stickers from '99 & '04]. Full tank of gas seems to be ok, but I don't know how 'bad' gas smells or how long it will be okay [making the assumption they did not use a stabilizer in it]. Also, as I don't seem to be able to locate an owners manual for it, I am wondering how much a 4000kw unit will power. I am interested in the water pump, a refrigerator and at best a small window AC unit [probably switching between the AC and frig]. I had really wanted a diesel self starting unit but the price made me decide to try this one. Thoughts appreciated.
