I've got an older Gillette generator, 9K peak, 7500 normal load, powered by a single cylinder Briggs. Having multiple vehicles I never worry much about the battery- I figure I can always jump start it. Heavy beast, I load it on the truck with the FEL. Three years ago, power was out at Mom/Dad's for several days over the Fourth of July, so after the first night, they wanted to use my generator. I obviously obliged, but getting there, I backed up to the garage with the generator on the back of the truck- both their vehicles inside facing forward, not enough jumper cable to reach the truck engine. Certainly not lifting that off the truck by hand! Some plans just never come together. Dad had a big 240V recept in the garage I wanted to use to back feed from the driveway, but it was unhooked at the breaker box. Ended up running the SO cord from the generator 30A outlet through the hole in the wall into the basement and wired up to the dryer breaker to back feed with the main open. Neighbors all had tiny Honda generators running, I fired that big dog up and showed them what making electricity is all about! Muffler glowing red in the dark and all!
