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...

That's really hard to answer. I have an old 2000w Honda that's close to 20 years old and probably has around 8000 hours. Also have a Coleman 3500w that's around 15 years old and close to 4000 hours. Then I have a Generac 4000w that is about 5 years old, less than 500 hours, and needed to be rebuilt.
All had the same maintenance done on them , except the Honda, which I got used when it was 4 years old.
I think older ones were just made better. I'd say just keep up good maintenance and storage practices and when it dies, it dies.
