Craftsman Briggs & Stratton Generator, 5600 Watt 10 HP —

Purchased new following Hurricane Rita, stored two years until Hurricane Ike swept through our area this summer. First use, worked great, moderate loading of about 2300 watts, surge to 3000. Got about 12 hours to a tank of gas, no oil consumption to speak of. Easy for anyone to start (use full choke). The included Adapter Cord Set was real handy. I had to laugh though that the maintenance reminder cames on to check the oil every 8 hours, that seems rather conservative, unless there is a puddle of oil under the unit! Ran solid about 36 hours until we ran out of gas. Don't plan on siphoning gas from your car folks, most late models that is not possible. Store enough gas in advance or you will find yourself in gas lines for hours following the storm! Altogether used about 150 hours, changed oil 3 times. Small minus is it is difficult to access spark plug. The side panel should be removable to make this easier, and when putting oil in cylinder before long storage.
