    Thanks for the tips Peter!! Looks like I'll make another trip to the hardware store. Was having trouble with the 16 gauge material, think I'll pick up something thicker to practice on.

    Saw this get used in Hollister last weekend. Jeep tried to bash his way through a rock garden and sheared a steering arm. His buddies came by with one of these, hooked it up to 2 batteries and welded the link back together to get him back to camp since his wheels we going in opposite directions lol.

    We have a few at work. Love em. We also run the parallel kit with the two of em when we need it. Super quiet and fuel efficient.

    We tried the Harbor Freight "Predator". Figured it was worth a gamble since I could buy 2 for the price of one Honda. The crew couldn't run a normal worm- gear Skil saw with the predator. Deal breaker. Ended up returning them and buying 2 Honda 2000's.

    Looks great Mike! Did you take the fender off? How long did it take? Figured I'll double your time to get a reasonable estimate.

    Thanks Phil
    I left the fender in place, but removed every bolt to move it around as needed. It took about 3 hrs

    Honda's are indisputably the best small generators, stabil gas stabiliser and on the larger ones, religiously using the fuel cutoff valve are your friends. This one is 11 years old and at one point ran for 18hrs a day for months on end. This kit below allows a 2k to run for 3 days+, almost the oil x interval. There are kits for the 3k and 6500 as well.

    I'm in the "cry once" category when it comes to stuff like this. Running motor tools off of a generator is a true test of the generator.

    The optional fuel can was an excellent suggestion too.
