glad your up and running sitting around with no power for a solid day sucks when it is cold ...we lost power yesterday in a big wind storm and I had 3 gensets going as well at diff houses...then the power came on and the next door neighbors had a stove malfunction and the house torched big time.


I back feed a honda 6500kw into the house and keep all systems online, is running the christmas lights also to much?

I have a question what are you guys runing your generators on I have a Generac 7550 EXL surge 13000.00 watt IT runs on gas so what I have beeen doing is store 4 5 gal cans of gas every 6 months I use the gas In the one of the cars and refill the cans with new gas I have been playing around with trying to hook up a natural gas set up for this generator but have not found a system that will work
the generator it self is great it says it will run 10.5 hours on 6 gal of gas it will power most of the house with no problems it just if you are out of power for a week or to I think runing on gas will end up leaveing high and dry

Jason, we got a good deal of black ice down here in Dutchess on the Taconic Parkway. I have New York State gas and electric so needless to say I use a generator frequently. I have a 10000 watt generator that I keep in my walk out basement - hook up is outside a short distance under my deck. I keep gas in it with Stabil, however about every 3 months I take it outside, run it for a while with a load on it. --
