And no tank to power it with....:cry:
Yeah, pretty much. I’m using it for trout with a PAR64 Can (basically a stage light) and huge 1000W FFN bulb. It will throw a narrow beam over 50-70’. The bait fish are attracted to the light and then comes the trout and everybody else.

It’s probably the best portable Generator on the market when it comes to reliability and quietness. Very light weight too. Plus, you can link two together and have double the power if you decide to get a second unit later.

Quick video to give you a Visual:

Replacing the carb on my 2nd generator + draining off old fuel.

Need to do some additional troubleshooting. The generator is surging at idle. Its a new carb but who knows. Maybe there is an internal fuel filter in the gas tank.

This might be a long shot, but have you tried replacing the springs on the governor? I did this for my lawnmower and it smoothed things out. May or may not work but might be worth a try.

Just remembered this too. I also replaced the Thermowax Choke Actuator as well. The parts were cheap so I took the shotgun approach.

Welp pulled the trigger on this bad boy, last one at the Lowes in Gulfgate. She'll be the life support for 4 different tanks.

No joke. Go figure the luck. I just commented on the thread I started. Conroe harbor freight sold out of their 9000w predator generators yesterday and no one within 100 miles has one. Ooopppss.

My gerbil is relentless!!! Up all hours of the night on that rattley wheel just marathoning... I think the longest I’ve ever heard her go for was like an hour and a half straight.
How many pets do you have and what kind?

Oh I have many....

gerbil- Stormi

Two leopard geckos (breeding pair). Female- Bananarama (normal). Male- Rasputin (Mack Snow)

Teacup Yorkie- Lucky

Raised an orphan rabbit I found in the backyard, he still comes by every now and again- Hopps

The freshwater tanks

- 10 gallon plantank- using as a shrimp breeding experiment. Blue velvet, Bloody Mary, whatever the yellow ones are called, some gold ones, and all of their spawn, probably about 200 total. Platinum halfbeak (extremely obese) and two (fattest I’ve ever seen) cardinal tetras

blue and teal betta fish- Poseidon

my dads very big tank (180 or 210 I can’t remember) Arowana (Helen), red Severum (nameless :( ), two blood parrots (fatty 1 and fatty 2), chinese loach (Appetizer), and some bluegill thing my dad caught in the lake

90 gallon grow out in the garage. Tank crashed??? Idk it turned green and icky. Only survivor is a very mean Oscar (Evil Bro, not to be confused with Evil Man)

the three reef tanks :)
- my 20 gallon with pair of clowns (Aang and Katara) and the cherub (Cutie), the sexy shrimp pair (Heather and Speck), Some kind of starfish? Patrick, that prawn thing- Squidgy

- my dad’s 25 gallon that I feed with one clown (kinda sickish so I’m scared to name him), seaweed blenny I caught in Florida (Evil Man), and geometric hawk (Stupid Idiot)

-MY 45 gallon 5 cocoa damsels (up for grabs btw, listing them for sale when I get home tomorrow) and I think there’s still a crab in there?? Also possibly a filefish but probably not

the mealworm culture (food for big fish and geckos)

the lizard storage tank (for arowana, the thing is spoiled to death), sometimes doubles as roach, cicada, waterbug, and other large insect storage.
