hey professor95 we need a hf 800 watt generator thread

ah, a 5000btu window unit. I wasn't thinking of that at the time but yes I can see where that would work.

For those of you that haven't heard about it, here is a link to John DeArmond's Blog. He has written a lot about these little generators.

Aside from replacing the spark plug the only improvement I've made to mine is to plug the holes in the choke plate to make it start easier in cold weather.

can you get a hold of one of these 800 watt harbor freight buzz bombs and see just what you can do with it?
any improvements or alterations we can do to it?
y'all have worked wonders with the champion generators, I bet y'all can work on it and have these little buzz bombs running an air conditioner?

No trick to that. I ran a 5,000 btu window unit with one.

...also kept my full size fridge, a lamp, and and all device chargers going for a week at the house w/that last hurricane Sandy.

Additionally handy to run electric tools out back on the property...1/2' drill, jig saw, sawzall, circ saw. etc.

There is no reason to NOT have one for the $89 bucks I paid.


Only problem I had was the chinexican spark plug failed (I couldn't believe it, even after reading of other that had the same trouble)

Yea, take the motor out of it.
