Topic	Do you own a generator?

Or do I just add some gas and fire it up Any sort of engine requires some basic maintenance. My generator is a 5000 watt honda I bought for $500 in 2009. In I think December I just did a "tune up" on it where I replaced the pull start, the spark plugs, the fuel filter, the air filter, drained and cleaned the gas tank, and changed the oil. I keep it outside, covered with a tarp, bungeed around it, sitting on top of a pallet. With that, I will be comfortable with it being ready for me for the next 10 years. --- https://imgur.com/O3syCWD https://imgur.com/k3YiBdG <cite>KILBOTz posted [p:950770955] in Do you own...
