Probably too late for much help, but personally had a bad experience with a Generac. Bought a new 8500 watt unit for $1000 and had constant problems either getting to start or to restart after it was warmed up. Made many trips back to the dealer and at various times they replaced a broken valve spring, installed new carburator, replaced the head gasket and did several more things to keep it running. Each time worked for a couple of months after it came back but always developed starting problems. Didn't use it that often and treated the ethanol-free gas with Stabil. Had it about two years when I needed it badly one day and it wouldn't start which was the final straw. A friend offered $300 for it and down the road it went. He has had better luck; probably starts and runs it every other week. I replaced it with a 13,000 watt Honda which cost over four times as much. That has been over 15 years ago and haven't regretted the change. But at the time the big Honda was bought I started using Sea Foam rather than Stabil which might be a factor. Recently added a new 4200 peak watt Harbor Freight gen for less than $250 to use at another building and it has been a gem. Starts great with a stable and dead-on voltage output. Farming partner has a ten year old relatively cheap 2000 watt Briggs that is ridden hard and keeps on ticking. Only problem is that he occasionally uses ethanol gas and the gas line disintegrated. No beef about the generator portion, but would just about need to be given a Generac engine.

In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
