Briggs and Stratton inverter generator
I just got my generator back from some maintenance and a tune up. The dealer mention even after all I put it through that it was in great running shape. It got me thinking. I have never seen anyone...

Sandia Man.
As some know, I recently had it in for maintenance after two years of operation.
The reason being, is that on that beach site that I boon dock on, I had it sitting on a pallet off the beach sand (I have since switched to using the back of the truck).
Anyway, the pallet sunk into the sand, and the thing ended up taking about 4 cups of sand into the unit and the enclosure. It was running a bit rough and that is why I took it in. But the maintenance guy said it was working still like a champ and is now perfect. I was expecting a huge bill... Didn't happen. $100 for the tune up.
So I consider what I have put it through was abuse and it is still starting on the first pull...after what will be it's third year of service.
Also, one Christmas ago, we had a bad icestorm and it knocked out power for a few days. I ran this guy outside for two straight days to power our furnace, TV for the kids to watch Christmas movies, and the tree. No problem what so ever.
