That sounds like a pretty good deal. What is the company and where is it located? Does it have to be shipped or can I pick it up myself? I just want to make sure i'm ready for the first big run. Thanks again for the info![/quote]
The company is RMP Powertrain Solutions in Northboro, MA 01532. My contact was Pete Buxton, and you can reach him at (800) 541-5575, ext 3001, Cell: (978) 808-7761, or email him at pbuxton@rmpparts.com.
If you tell him that you're in the same group as Brad Speck he said you could get the generator at the Boat Show price ($156.00 & Mass tax of 5%). He delivered it to my house in R.I. for free and said that he travels all over or could ship it to a Ford dealer for free and we pick it up there, but you'll have to work out the details with him.
As I said in a previous post, it's 1200 watts, 4-stroke and new. I started up mine tonight and it ran well, was about as quiet as other 4-strokes I've heard at G.I. but I still would want it about 30 ft away or so if I was going to run it for any length of time. He called it a "Briefcase Style" generator because it has a handle on top to carry it.
It only has one plug in for output but you could get a device like used in a house to plug in two or more lights and the twin 500 & 600 watt light set ups I've seen at Home Depot etc both run off a single plug with some kind of connector box on the frame.
