Exactly what I was thinking... If I only knew then what i know now Id'a bought a good one and spent a little more for it.

Scores range from 41 to 91 The Honda #EU7000is was the highest scoring generator reviewed with a 79. The “All Power” APG3560 came in lowest with 41 points! The only Predator reviewed was the 68529. It Came in #5 out of 23 different models reviewed. Scorecard... Power delivery Good Power...

Is it important if its not covered 100%? I dont know if it melted off, wasn't coated that much to begin with or whats on the rotor is coating that melted off the winding's and ended up there...lol At any rate... I was looking at Generators on the Consumer Reports site and its between the...

Also guys, About the rust streaks on the Rotor? should i try to remove it with some light grit sand paper? or even just try to rub off as much as i can with a dry rag?

Hmmm... but what about the fried wires? wont they still be frying and shorting or should i try covering them first with something like that liquid electrical tape stuff or some sort of glue?

So on that Rotor... could it be that maybe the bearing was bad causing the stator to hit the rotor and wear away the jacketing on the wire making it short? those marks shouldn't be there on the rotor correct? Also... is the rotor supposed to be fully coated with that yellow/green coating?

Maybe.... I will have to make some calls...

you are right... id rather not have to spend $1000.00+ on a new one. but if im going to spend $500.00 on a **** shoot.. maybe I should just bite the bullet and get something like a Generac or another more main stream brand? I mean, Duromax doesnt even have a list of authorized repair shops they...

Hmmmm Interesting... Every other time I started this thing it was with the electric start and it ran great... this time though the battery was stone cold dead... and yes, it would not make power either. She still runs great but it wont make power, charge the battery and the electric motor part...

So it may just be in my best interest to buy another generator?

Hey All.... I was going to get my Generator ready for winter and this weekend's Storm we just had So i took her out, dusted her off put some gas in it and fired it up...had to pull start it because the battery was dead. She fired up after two or three pulls and was running fine I checked the...

I thought of selling off my stand alone machines for a shop smith until someone said id get aggravated setting it up all the time.. so I never bought it. it would be nice to have the room id gain NOT having different machines though. Maybe I can by a shop smith for each configuration? lol...

wow id cry if I owned that house.... id LOVE to have a barn like that to set up shop in. Id say if you cant sell the building, sell the parts! someone's gotta be looking for beams and that door and joists and such!

looks pretty awesome too... and is that really a garage? lol looks 10000000 times nicer than my mess. Between My wood turning wood, machines, tools, metal and steel pieces, fire wood and now trike parts and the trike im re-doing, I can hardly walk in mine. I think 4' of floor is all I have to...

Nice!!! And they are probably one of the last places left where you can do this... try it at Sears or HD or LOWES and you get the brush off. Heck, Lowes doesn't even want to give you something that's mispriced if its a lower price than it should be. I was in there and saw a bunch of Ryobi Power...
