Finally pulled the plug and bought the Eu 2000i at lunchtime. The
sales guy had made up the order and assigned it to me when it arrived
yeaterday. I had been out there on Friday while stillout of power and
with another 20 hrs of same facing me. I would have bought the unit
with no questions then if one was available. Anyway, when we got
there salesman was looking after another couple. We all ended up
discussing the pros and cons of the Eu200i vs a bigger model. Then
another guy gets in on the discussion. Back and forth it goes with the
guy from the couple waffling as much as me. Crowd starting to gather
at the desk looking for parts or whatever. One other person trying to
help them. Finally I tell the salesman to cash me in on the 2000.
Got up to the desk and started waffling again so I tell him to order
me in an EG 2800 and I'd decide between the two. Go back and the
couple guy is frantically searching the internet on his phone for
advice and calling an engineer friend. I
make
the mistake of asking the wife what she thinks. She just wants to get
out so says buy the 200. I tell the salesman to ring me up..then he
has to do the pre-delivery inspection , adding of oil and gas and
supposidly running the unit. The poor couple. the other guy and the
half dozen people milling around the front counter are starting to
give me dirty looks. Anyway, salesman does his thing, tells me the
unit is at the door ready to go. Go up and I see the generator but no
manual etc. One of the guys milling around points to a package on the
counter near the cardboard box. I put the unit in it's box, toss in
the manual and wires with clips? into the box and get the hell out.
I won't do that at lunch time again.

That 200 she wanted to buy must have been a little bugger, eh?

This is the engine it uses.

I grew up with the little Cox .049. Those things were indestructible.

I still have one somewhere. And an .o49 diesel airplane engine and an .049
outboard. My brother and his kids lived for a couple years in the house I
grew up in, so my .36 and .60 engines disappeared.

Hopefully they're having fun with them.

Nope, they probably left them outside years ago.
