I need help....generator - interlock - 120 volt generator...... I just had a solar array installed (I own it, not leasing it). As part of the job, an interlock was added to my main panel. The interlock connects to a L14-30 male connector on the outside of the house. The installing electrician...

Could not find any previous posts on the subject but I seem to remember one a while back. Looking for some feedback from anyone regarding the multi-circuit generator manual transfer switches regarding quality, function and installation and operational issues. Anyone have any experience with the...

My rarely used 2 year old Honda starts fine, has fresh gas, but as the choke is backed off it stalls. I doubt any shop will help me today, so I turn LIF for suggestions on what to try next. I suspect carb issue. Is there any easy fix to try first before doing anything more drastic? Cleaners...

I am in need of a portable generator for a job opportunity I think I am going to accept. I don't need anything too big or expensive, maybe 5500 watts to run a pancake compressor and light power tools. A unit from a reputable company, decent warranty and wheels to get around the job sites is...

Been meaning to post this question. This past spring I fished the annual Jamacia Bay Kayak Fishing Tournament with some members of my fishing club (did pretty good overall too). After each day's fishing we had to recharge our batteries - for our marine HT's and for our GPS/FF units. I don't...

In the market for a generator and came across a nice one but it is carb compliant. Being that we dont have to have a carb compliant generators in NY is there any cons to getting this unit? like: does it burn more gas? have more parts that may break? or is there only advantages going carb...

I made my own a few months ago and got an extra L14-30 twistlock connector (the female end you plug into the power inlet on the outside of the house). Other than their "All Sales Final" policy, they're great to do business with. If you don't need a crazy amount of cable (I just got 15 feet...

So I was cutting some tree branches this weekend when my neighbors "handyman" leans over the fence and says its good that you're trimming branches now before the next storm... Conversation then leads to power outages and generators. He then proceeds to tell me how to power my house with my...

I read somewhere that there are some generator manufacturers that publish a power rating for a generator but that that published power cannot be delivered from a single outlet but is the total that would be delivered by using all the available outlets. Can someone elaborate on if this is done...

I havnt seen any other threads on this specific generator so I figured id give my 2cents since I just got one...... I picked this thing up only because of the price and it actually turned out to be a well built little generator. I was on ebay and found this for $104 shipped brand new 2 weeks...

http://www.uscarb.com Just before hurricane Sandy became referred to as "frankenstorm" managed to find a Decently priced and available Generac 5500 watt generator. I was supposed to buy one during the summer but didn't and like many figured I made it through hurricane season lucky and clear. I...

I was just quoted a price of $15,000 to install a 15KW natural gas powered standby generator. Price includes all permitting, filing, site prep, etc. Basically all-in. Is this a reasonable price? I'm on the Long Beach barrier island, if that makes a difference.

Was recently looking a generators, wishin I could buy one and saw that propane is an option as a fuel source. I never thought about it, but I'd like to hear some opinions of those more well versed in the subject. In a SHTF world, what fuel would be better? I would think, while it may cost more...
