Generator hours - when is it too much?
I have seen the posts on what to look for when the generator has low hours. I am interested in your thoughts on high hours. How many hours are too much and when do the hours signal time to budget for...

If you are talking about a generator you already own, as long as she starts up and runs fine, keep running her. The problem is most motors die from abuse and neglect long before they litterally wear out.
If you are talking about buying a used generator. I would look for moderate hours. A 10yr old generator with 3hrs on the clock has a high probability of being a problem due to neglect. Likewise a 2yr old generator with 10,000hrs has likely lived a long hard life.
