So a few months ago while trying to prepare for the 24 Hours of Dalton, I sent an email out to a company DL asking if anyone had a generator I could borrow for the weekend. I got no useful responses at the time, and there was no power at Jackalope/Ridemonkey/Allezy camp at the race.
But then last week, some dude emailed me and was like "I have this Honda generator sitting in my garage, it was used once like 5 years ago, I'll sell it to you for $30."
So I was like sure, I'll take it. Then he emails me yesterday and says he pulled the starter a bunch of times and couldn't get it started, but if I still wanted it I could have it for $10.
So today I got the thing for $10. When we were making the exchange he demonstrates that it doesn't work by pulling the starter. I didn't mention to him that the start switch was set to "off".
I did a quick check, the gas is old as dirt. But it gets a spark, and has compression. So I think a little gum-out and maybe some laquer thinner, and I've got an almost brand new $500 Honda generator for $10
:devil:
