My gen did a 3.5 hr run………tree took power out.
Ma Nature..... helping you exercise ! Windy time of year.... I was on a roadtrip this weekend; blowing pretty good, on the way home.

IIRC, your big system is very quiet - at least this time you noticed the outage !

It’s pretty quiet, as it’s far from the main house. I can hear a distant rumble. Sometimes I have to stop and think…whats that sound.

33.2 hours starting on Mondays storm.
Major test..... part of why the minor ones matter :cool:

Been meaning to look up conditions Out East.... I have kin in NS, and expect they got hit with that same system.

Wishing all out your way smooth gen running, and plenty of fuel on-hand..... sweating thru a heat-wave is one-thing, survival of more than just plumbing in real Winter conditions is Another Thing....

I don't know how (other) people here are so negative to our power company. I heard today that there's over 1100 tree with lineman crews working this storm. That's more than the terrible ice storm of 1998.
My hat's off to them.👍

....and my best wishes to everyone still without power!
Be careful with your generators and check the oil every time you fuel up.😩

Has anyone used this tune-up kit, or should I spend about 10 bucks more and get the Generac version?

I’m not sure what Chinese he’ll hole is selling those kits, but that series generator doesn’t use a fuel filter, hose and clamps.

I bet the oil filter is just a empty can, but it looks like it originated from this company

Mahindra factory oil filters? Love how the filter material comes pre-contaminated with dirt & metal chips with each and every filter you buy, at no extra charge.........
