Well I did make an emergency run at 3:00 am to the fridge for some lasagna. Got wine,food,heat,shelter,electricity,and internet. The generator is ready on standby. Life is GOOD.

Shorts and tee shirt. I just put the snowblade on the john deere. Heavy snow coming for us.

You might want to consider a tri fuel kit. Gasoline,Propane,or NG.

Fuel still pouring out of 89 setting at camp. Got one stubborn carb float won't shut off. Anyway I can fix your computer if I had it over here. I bought the test gig to get data off of it . Done several of mine when the kids would trojan them up.I maintain eight here and 5 more at the office.

Dan if all else fails you may have to wipe the hard drive loosing data and reload the O/S.If the hard drive is bad then replace it and reload. I have to do it about once a year on my kids machines.

I'm running some early 70's and 80's BOSE gear. I have a BOSE 4401 preamp I rebuilt driving two BOSE 1800 Amps. These are connected to 4 BOSE 901 series V speakers on one amp and two BOSE 901 series 2 on the other amp. You might say a Super Bose System. That's about 650 watts per channel. I have a BOSE turntable I'm repairing and currently running a Kenwood tuner. I also have a BOSE 1801 amp waiting on a restore.

I am running the Kenda Kruz tires on both first gens. They seem to be a dependable long life tire. The only thing negative I have noticed is they seem a little slippery on wet road to me. Also that kruz on the rear has very deep grooves in the tread when new. This seems to add some wobble to a heavy trailer if towing. Pulling a light weight trailer no problem.

I bought the portable one after that big ice strom in 2000. Used it more this year then the last 10.

New generator is finally online. I done a load test this morning. Automatic transfer switch and natural gas hookup works great. I still have some cleanup work to do but were now ready for the next power outage. I could have used it last Friday evening we were down for 6 hours.
-
Working on this project a little on the weekends. I have the gen set on an elevated pad and the transfer switch mounted. Doing the NG plumbing now. I have yet to wire into my electrical box,ground the generator,and connect to NG.Got to cut grass and weed eat next weekend.

Joe Yes they do they are right here in Summersville. http://www.propane-generators.com/

Joe I never lost any food. But I still spent about $500 just driving 100 miles a day to find gasoline for the portable generator.
-
OH one more thing. There is a local company here who builds lp nat gas conversion kits. You can take any portable gasoline generator and hook it up to LP or Nat gas. I might do this to as my portable gen is a 5500 with a 10 horse briggs on it.
-
THOM I called the local Generac service center. They said YES no problem people hook them up all the time. I have a drier on the line now to separate water and a new regulator I can use if needed. I'm going forward with my installation. I should have it going soon.
-
I have a generator which runs on LP or NG. Can it be used on raw wellhead gas like we have run into the house for cooking and heat. We are filtering the water at the pipeline tap but still the gas has some water vapor. Is anybody doing or done this? Is it possible or should I stick with LP for the generator? The well is located on my property so we are the first customer and free gas.

I took another look at the 89 this morning. Fuel pouring out of one overflow line. I worked on it about 30 minutes tapping on the float bowel after a mixture of Seafoam was put in a few weeks ago. No luck she's pumping a pint a minute from that one line. Looks like I might have to pull the carbs when I have more time.
-
I got power back yesterday after 4 days. Hot but not bad just like camping. We cooked out on the grill,swam in the river,and made gasoline runs for the portable generator.Country boys can survive.I seen emergency supplies being delivered to Webster county yesterday. The Bud Light Tanker was in town!
