Trying to talk the old battle axe into letting me obtain a listeroid. Of course there has to be some practical application, not just cause I want one. Anybody toyed with the idea of a listeroid lawn mower?... I'm thinking of a self propelled cart with maybe a couple of goats walking behind to chew down the grass. Any other unique and/or entertaining suggestions would be appreciated... Have at it. Regards

Hello all,

The good news is... FEMA reimbursed me for the generator I bought after H. Wilma. The bad news is...I hadn't discovered this forum or the wonderful world of Mr. Robert Ashton Lister yet. So... I am stuck with a 3600 rpm Screamin' Mimi disposable genset (8kW). Much to my dismay, I understand they are good for about 1000 hours (if you're lucky) and am wondering what, if anything I can do to prolong its demise. What goes wrong? Is it the engine or the gen head or both? Can it reasonably be rebuilt or is it truly throw away? In the immortal words of Messrs. Bartyles & James "Thanks for your support".
