    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.

    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.

    Sorry buddy!! Super jealous though, been having the muscle car itch lately. My Pops is trying to get rid of his '69 Z28 and I asked how much, way to Rich for my blood. Asking 35k, yikes. Lean and OG though, even has some uber rare rear window blinds.
