My $59 2 stroke generator made in China

**Sarge** · 02-02-2011, 01:41 PM

kicked that ass today for about 3 hours. Fired right up. Powered Mama's entertainment set. Satt TV/Big ass flat screen and surrond sound. Big $59 bucks at Harbor Frieght. Quiet. Didnt use hardly any 2 stroke mix/gas.

GO CHINA PEOPLE. BUILD THAT CHEAP SHIT.

Harbor freight sells things as expensive as $59!?!

**Sarge** · 02-02-2011, 01:51 PM

Crazy aint it?

**FSANE** · 02-02-2011, 02:01 PM

can you buy it online?

**310stanger** · 02-02-2011, 02:02 PM

enjoy it, that motor is only gonna run 3 more times till it blows up lol

**KMdef9** · 02-02-2011, 02:11 PM

I've bought plenty of throw away tools from there. I can break a pry bar from depot/lowes/sears just as easy as the harbor freight ones.

I'd like to get a geny, but I also want a transfer switch so I can plug it right into my panel.

How many watts is it?

And speaking of generators, had top stop at Lowes last night and you would have thought it was y2k. People all carrying salt and generators like this storm was actually going to affect anything. I'm sure harbor freight sold out as well. Some people never seen snow?

Like the insurgence of china pitbikes/quads/go karts in my neighborhood one christmas a while back. Zooming around the streets, they all started smoking after about an hour of run time, then sounding funny, and a grinding noise ensued. Four strokes.. None made it past new year day

It boggles my mind that families waste good money on chinese dirt bikes for their kids. They can spend that SAME money or even cheaper on used jap bikes that last 5 times as long and deliver 5 times the performance. I've been at the local pep boys before where they sell that crap and a dad was looking at them with his son, I explained to him how you can get a used jap bike for those prices and cheaper. He walked out of the place and did exactly that.

I know I outgrew my small bikes in no time as a kid, beyond perfect maintenance and me being a slow ass on all but the yz85. Lost alot on all but the pw50 we got used. Yz had a shit ton of mods and spares too. People got a deal. My brother had a dinli, all crap but the motor. It is a major taiwanese company. can't imagine a china bike. atleast you could get parts (or sub a polaris part) for it

I got a brand new chinese built 4 wheeler for zach a couple years ago for $450. He has 1-2 hours a day everyday on it for 2-3 years. First, find me any 100cc name brand 4 wheeler brand new for $450 and then tell me why I should've bought it vs this one.

how loud is that gen? I came close to buying one a couple months ago to run the pop up on because it'd be way way lighter than the 5500 I take down there currently. Also, how many watts is it and how long does it say it'll run on a tank of fuel? I passed because I was worried it would be like having a chainsaw running. I would be careful though running any sensitive type electronics on it such as your TV or a computer. The power might not be real clean and it might take something out.

buy used honda 90, sell two years later for the same price. Parts are readily available in case of *rare* failure
