Also, I have read a lot of reviews that talk of using a 20% off coupon for generator purchases, but in the last several months, every 20% off coupon I have seen has excluded the bigger ticket items such as generators, compressors, welders, and some other things. Bummer.
Yep.... I've seen some Loncin motors there on other items, as well. I have a Loncin motor in one of my Honda-noids....if not in both, and they seem quite bullet proof, as well. I've hammered them pretty hard with no problems.
That's a true bummer about the 20% off coupon! :x I was counting on using one of those! I'll have to take a look...... Thanks for the heads-up! .....and thanks for all the great input, gang! There really is a lot to concider.....but they sure do seem to be a great bang for her limited buck.

My main concern is getting as many things working for her, at the twist of a key. Right now, she's out there in the dark and cold, in the rain, tugging on a pull rope in her bath robe. There's gotta be a better way!
