Predator 3500 vs 2 Champion 2500

The downside to Predator is Harbor Freight really does not "support" their equipment as far as supplying repair parts which can be problematic down the road. Sort of making HF gens border on throw away if you can't figure out how to cross reference parts to the actual manufacturer.

Harbor Freight does have a parts list and prices for the predator generator predator 3500 Replacement Parts in Stock

:R

Been down that road before, with HF, the parts go away once the item has been discontinued and no longer in production.

Had to scrap a cool little 5yr old 2 cycle HF 350W gen many yrs ago that someone gave my Dad.. Was cool and worked well until the ignition module failed, no replacements, could not identify manufacturer of engine. No luck finding a generic module since the ignition module also had a connection to the tiny inverter module..

HF is not like good old "Sears and Roebuck" that kept parts for 50+ yrs after it was discontinued..

But, hey, good luck..
