Update, still using my friend mr.genorator to power all. I just have to remember to fill every 8 hours, I made a gas run today only to find that my local station had no power
eather s#it not my day. I began surching inland hopeing to find a gas station run with a generator backup found one on the parkway. Let the gouging begin the line was long
and slow with a limited amount avalble to each car $25.00 worth of reg. I was able to fill 2 5 gal. Cans and if it’s still no power tomorrow I’ll do it all over again. Lol

I'm in southern MA lost my power yesterday @ 2.30pm opened the tent, opened the blinds on two windows to bring in as much light as possible. I'm on 12/12 right now and my lights normally go out at 6pm so at 6 bottoned up the tent and luckily power came on this morning around 4.30am. I didn't get much sleep worrying about my girls. A generator sounds like a good idea.

I hope you drained the gas out of that sucker. I let mine sit for years, and the gas dissolved the rubber fuel line from the tank to the engine. Had to replace it, and then I changed the oil. Is in A-OK shape now. Since the natives (politicians) are getting restless I am sure I had better be prepared.Last edited by starramus; 03-03-2018, 01:09 PM.

hey Potted guess I lucked out and dodged the bullet on this storm we got rain and lots of it as I put the truck away in barn I saw the trout pond was back lol. Power blinked off then on about 4 times then it was fine all day . I do have a generator but I haven't started it in years so I probably should fire it up and get it back in shape

I couldn’t agree more Potted!!! I’m about 45 minutes south of Boston and my power went out at about 8pm last night. I’ve had the generator running almost 10 hours now with no issues. I invested in the conversion kit so I can run it on natural gas. Anyone looking into an affordable option should check out Harbor Freight’s 8750/7000 watt model, you can normally get it for about $500 and it’ll power a small house. I know HF isn’t exactly known for quality but I’ve had mine for 6 years and have used it for 288+ hours in that time.
