I do however have a question. My local Tractor Supply has Champion 5000 watt generators (#41115) on sale at a reasonable price ($449.) I was thinking about getting one for the house when power goes out.
Has any one heard anything about the reliability of these larger units? If as good as my 3500 I'd be tickled pink. :)
The 5,000; 6,500 and 7,200 watt units all use GX style engines and the same type of alternator construction as your 3,500.
I have a 13HP GX390 6,500 watt unit at home I run on LPG. It is now four seasons young.
Other than being considerably louder, mine has been just as dependable and easy to service as it's little brother.
