The standby genny must be sized for the largest load you plan to run, otherwise it is worthless. With a little management, you can get by with a smaller generator and still run everything - just not all at once. For instance - do you throw the transfer switch and start all of your freezers, fridges, pumps, block heaters, stock tank heaters and heat plants at the same time? I doubt if you do, but if you do, you do indeed need a huge generator, and it would probably still go to it's knees.
The original poster is clearly concerned with staying within a budget. I know nothing of his situation, but I know that my boiler draws less than 5 amps. Does he absolutely need to run all three boilers at once? A fridge and a deepfreeze can be managed easily in a vacant church. Minimal or no lighting and minimal heat is all that would be needed, with an occasional fridge recharge. We are talking about a temporary situation here. Maybe he does need 10,500 watts - that might allow them to hold services. We cancel church services if the weather is extreme enough for a power outage.
I know folks who have whole house automatic start barely noticable blink automatic transfer propane fired gennys, but those folks are not on any kind of a budget.
I still say - the bigger the genny, the more fuel storage you need. I'm saying that because I've noticed many people are proud of their big gennys, but when you ask them how much fuel they have on hand they get a blank look on their face.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
