I Bought a Generator

After much gnashing of teeth and research, local and Internet surfing, I decided to buy this generator, A Generac 7700 for $749.00. I think during power outages I can run all my Monty, my well pump and house refrigerator circuit with this unit. It weighs 119 pounds, but is on wheels. I do plan to build a permanent shed with sound proofing.

A reliable generator is essential gear for contractors, but it's also important for home owners, campers, RV enthusiasts and others who may face planned or unplanned power needs. The Generac 9777 4,000 watt extended-life generator is just such a tool. The generator is ideally suited for either occasional or everyday use. A rugged, 7.8-horsepower overhead valve industrial engine provides 4,000 watts of reliable electricity and up to 13.5 hours of use on a single four-gallon tank of fuel. The unit is versatile and easy to use, with two 20 amp 120V power outlets, one full-power 30 amp 120V twist lock outlet, and one full-power 20 amp 120/240V twist lock outlet. It also comes with charger cables for recharging 12V batteries. The engine runs quietly and is designed with several added smart features, including an oversized dual element air filter, an automotive-style oil filter, and full-pressure lubrication. It also features a pressurized low oil shutdown system, automatic idle control, and a power surge alternator that protects against power fluctuations when starting and operating several motor-driven items at the same time. --Carl Thress

It should ... depending on the pump.... my 10hp lincoln gives a big puff of black smoke when the pump cuts in but runs it well after the start.

Mine lives in a 6x6 building but needs big holes in the wall to let in air to cool the system... gets real hot in the summer. A pair of ear muffs for the person doing the care and feeding would be a good investment. My last set of hearing aids was over $5000.00

I know what you mean about the hearing aids Gruffy, I just spent $3,800 for a pair. Good idea about the ear muffs and I will be sure and wear them. Thanks.
