If it is an actual Yamaha engine, they are a very good engine, the biggest problem I see is getting parts if you need them. One thing I will suggest with a Powermate generator is to look and see what it uses to rectify the electricity. Some of them use a capacitor, some use a AVR board. If yours has a capacitor, make sure you run it at least once a month and put a load on it, otherwise the capacitor will discharge and will not recharge. I would also see about keeping one on hand if you are going to use as backup for your home and yours has a capacitor in it. We are a service center for Powermate and that seems to be their biggest problem and they also use soft brushes, so that would be another thing to keep around. Other than then two things, they also seem to be out of the popular parts a lot, so that is why I suggest you keep a set of brushes and capacitor on hand if your has one. Jim
