As a hobbyist, I built this to power my workshop and for emergency backup power by following the advice found here - thanks gang! Works well to power my welder. No emergency use needed - yet. I has used less than a tank of fuel, so it is probably not or barely broken in.
It is located near Atlanta, GA, USA. I am posting on Craigslist locally and we'll see what happens.
