Something that hasn't come up. I always run my generators on Hi-Test gas. There is less or no ethinol in it. Also most generators have been tuned to run at 3600 rpm and the carbs are set to run wide open. Also they will not do that "hunting " crap. Reguular gas is not all fhe same. One thing I have done with EVERY generator I own is get hold of or borrow a meter that reads HZ, cycles per second and fine tune your govenor screw to get 59.80 to 60.20 cycles per second. Todays electronics including your hi-efficency furnace must be on the nose or you stand the chance of blowing up some very very expensive electronics. ALWAYS turn off the gas when you are done and let her run out. Change your oil once a year or after every long time of running. Be good to your generator and , you know the rest. I would say the 8000 is good, IF you only turn on this and that only when needed. Be a bit on the conservative side. The 10K would be even better in MHO. Another thing I do is store at least 20 gallons of hi-test in a cool dry place and pour it in the truck once a year so the new gas is fresh again.

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
