Tom King Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I've never heard anything bad about the motors, and have heard of a number of people who use them on bandmills. I've never heard anything about the generators, but expect they're okay. I bought a used one off CL about 30 years ago. I use the fuel cutoff as the off switch and only ever had to change a carb once on it when a gas station here that used to sell non-ethanol stopped without telling anyone or changing the label on the pump.

JohnG Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 I didn’t know they have been around that long. I’ve had one for about 5 years now and had no issues at all. Also use the fuel cutoff to turn it off. I say I’m going to do it more often, but I only ever start it up about once a year. The only time I’ve had trouble starting it was when I forgot that I used the fuel cutoff to turn it off. Once I opened that back up, it fired up on the first pull.

BillyJack Posted February 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 I never think about it till the power goes out. I’m going to add a pig tail to my furnace incase of major power failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted February 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Somebody has a predator 9000 for $600 on marketplace. I’m not sure if they date mark predator. The predator does not come with a battery p, but I have my DC batteries in the garage for my boat which I can believe use in a pinch..

Tom King Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 I realized I wasn't clear. The old one I bought was some off brand-not a Predator. It was used when I bought it, but it ran. Hurricane Fran in 1994 was the first time I used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia0110 Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 I have Predator 63584 https://www.propaneva.com/best-predator-generator. The generator provides reliable and efficient power, making it a great choice for powering my home during power outages. One thing I really appreciate about this generator is how quiet it is compared to other gas-powered models I've used in the past. It's definitely not silent, but the noise level is reasonable and won't bother my neighbors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
