Q: forgot....9.0 hp recoil start...bought at home depot. henry after reading replies i had to laugh... folks had you pouring slabs... electric start....electric sub panels etc. i had a glancing blow and two back to back direct hits last year. after first hit i went to a big box store and bought a portable electric welder which also was a generator providing a single dual 120vac outlet and a single 220vac outlet 5500 watts surge 4000 watt continuous. 125 amp stick welder....4 stroke gas robins subaru power plant. it did nicely for me....about same needs as you stated cept a side by side fridge/freezer combo. a little less than 1gal/hr. the problem was gas.... couldnt be bought since after the first one to a couple weeks after third....the ole dodge pu truck was my gas station. made by lincoln electric... model is powerarc 5500. it weighs a little over 120 lbs if i recall and cost me $650 i think. henry sorry for the ot post but figured this group if any might have the answers. am looking for a portable standby generator about 5kw. can anyone here recommend a specific **brand** or maybe suggest a specific brand to **avoid** living down in hurricane country texas gulf coast and so far in 18 years have never needed one. figure im pushing my luck and am thinking about one in the 5kw size range enuf to run fridge & deep freeze a few small wattage flourescent replacement lamps + tv and satellite rcvr prolly a fan or two. realize i cannot afford something the size that would pull our central ac. also what about fuels gasoline would ordinarily seem easiest to obtain and therefore most logical but what about natural gas not propane w/gasoline youd be constantly running out to purchase more else stick a georgia credit card in your vehicle tank. 5kw genset consumes between gal and 1 gal gasoline per hour depending on load. how much line pressure would it take for a ng powered genset im leaning toward gasoline but thought id ask. locally available brands & engines onan cummins troy-built briggs & stratton coleman honda honda honda thanks .
