Yeah I havnt has power sense 10pm last night

 

I’ll check the tightness of them when I get home but they looked old. Don’t know when’s the last time they were touched. Any specific brand I should go with? I know gates belts are good

 

Damn

 

I believe OEM is Mitsuboshi.

 

Bando is a good well priced OEM belt provider

 

Lol I throw some old ass 87 i had and called it good

 

Yeah running the fridges off the generator now

 

How’d you get it running?

 

Pull the carb apart and clean it all out. Needle and seat were all gummed up

 

Got me looking for a generator for myself. I’d like a Diesel one simply because of the shelf life.

 

We have had this one for a long time. Just should of drain the fuel before we stored it

 

My dad got a champion inverter from homedepot. Quiet as a mouse. Just put some Sta-bil in the gas you plan on using with it. No sense in over paying for something that does the job equally well.

 

This is tempting. Onan US Military surplus Diesel generators. It has three phase too, I could run a commercial air compressor.

 

where the hell do you store that thing?

 

Also got a new portable charger lol

 

Yeah he needs something like this

 

When I was back east, people had generators for all the hurricanes. I rebuilt a few customers carburetors for chain saws and generators and that's what I saw every time. Gummed up carbs from fuel sitting in it.

 

You could fit two of the inverters inside of that one.
