Power is back on, Genny is now shut down and ready for PM checkup after running flawlessly during and after the storm. Although I see myself in several of Guyfang's points - I concur completely with his self-described "rant". These aren't consumer generators - they're designed to be operated and maintained by trained personnel - under very adverse conditions. This site is a gold mine of information to help those of us desiring to become trained operators and maintainers of said equipment. I am guilty of not spending as much time as I should between the pages of the manuals - however, I do truly try to search out any issue I run across if it's something that is of a technical nature. Even things that aren't going to be in the manuals have probably been discussed here before if you search the threads (and just spend casual time reading through them for entertainment). Thanks to all of you for sharing in your knowledge and experience - at whatever level. Great idea about the post-hurricane debrief - I know of several things that are on my to-do list. I had a great deal of satisfaction in operating my genset during our power outage - got plenty of "honey-points" from my wife, who was able to go to the toilet, take a hot shower, make coffee, surf the internet, and sit in an air-conditioned home while reading about all the woes of her Facebook friends without power. I think she loves Genny as much as I do now. Good nite all - cut up 4 downed trees today, got much more to do tomorrow. Will be dreaming about what upgrades I want to do to my rig, maintenance that needs to be done, and most significantly whether to paint the OD trailer tan to match the genset, or whether to paint the genset OD green to match the trailer..... decisions.
