Blue handle, do not mess with the green handle.That must be why my gas one stutters I never could figure out what was gummed
I have to run more choke to make it smooth now
so on the gas pumps they’ll say ethanol free/ if not listed then its got ethanol?
Same here- Ethanol free along with product called SeaFoam and carbs are clear and fires right up. Mine is 7500wt and I fire it up every 2 months and its been 3 years since ive needed to use it.My generators are gas powered.
I only run clear gas ( ethanol free). It can be hard to find. I have 2 sources local to me.
I swap out my gas in the generator twice a year and run it on the house for about a half hour every spring and fall, even if it was used during the past season. Just routine maintenance.
just one level of octane on the ethanol free. The ethanol is what cause engine knock, and the reason some use high octane. Ethanol just stretches gasoline, no real benefits and a lot of problems over time. In the long run, one is better off using ethanol free for repairs and maintenance.10000 watt generator costs as much as a small car
do I select the highest octane rating to be ethanol free?
Hahaha... I just ran mine 12 days straight,non stop) 6 months ago.How funny there are a bunch of posts from Floridians. Gee, I wonder why?![]()
South west I am guessing.Hahaha... I just ran mine 12 days straight,non stop) 6 months ago.
Yup. Cape coral. Probably almost 5 miles west of sanibelSouth west I am guessing.
Glad to see that you are here posting, you were pretty much in the middle of things with the last storm.Yup. Cape coral. Probably almost 5 miles west of sanibel
When we went through Charlie in 2004, that was a real eye opener. Once again glad you guy's are okWe got pummeled. I was in the eastern eye wall for like 9 hours as it turned and slowed down!! But I didn't get storm surge. Just a few m miles away, everybodys houses took water. The beaches were leveled. Looked like a tsunami hit Ukraine. It was intense, I was lucky

Cape here too. We were out for 5 days and the power came back on. We were ecstatic! Then the power went off after about 3 hours and we were no longer ecstatic.Yup. Cape coral. Probably almost 5 miles west of sanibel
No, I'm davidCape here too. We were out for 5 days and the power came back on. We were ecstatic! Then the power went off after about 3 hours and we were no longer ecstatic.Stayed off for another 10 days.
I’m going to laugh if your name is Joe C.
I have a battery backup system that will run the tank about 2 days. So I wait for the storm to pass then hook up generator. Regular outages, I just let the batteries do the workWhile gas generators are great for long outages. If your outage is measured in hours not days, I use a Ecoflow DeltaMax (Lithium Power center) that runs my main pump and My controller for about 15 hours. It is always plugged in (and can hook to solar) and switches over to the lithium battery automatically.
Something else to consider, although the cash outlay is higher.
I’m have a ridged from Home Depot. Runs great 10 years old.
