Are you saying I'm pushing the limits? I don't understand the "I'd be surprised" part. ![]() The "Googler" says 6-18 hours max, then cool down/rest for a portable. |

It's running fine, but it did shutdown, ironically after my post. I put oil in it and fired back up. |

EDIT: Start checking oil at each refueling... note if consumption increases; if yes you are Phucked, if no you dodged a bullet. |

Hope the generator holds up until power is restored. My guys hooked up with the welder so I could use the blowdryer and dry my hair when our power was out for a week.

Over filling it will kill it as well.

Why would something be able to run for 12 hours, and then need a rest? They have overtemp and underoil protection at that size. They should be 100% duty cycle. Never had a portable that needed a "rest". Ran a 6.5kW nonstop for 5 or 6 days after a hurricane. Just add gas and check the oil. Only added oil one day in 6. You're not stressing it at all if it is reasonably sound. I'm surprised because I never had an air cooled generator that needed any down time.

I got power back around 7:30 tonight.
Went to get generator gas and something for dinner. Came back and disconnected the generator and turned on the main breaker. AC has been running ever since and has not gotten to temperature yet. It was 89 upstairs and 82 downstairs. Now it's 76 up and 75 down. |
