I picked up a Workzone 2kw inverter generator at my local Aldi for 199 today.
Does anyone know if this dipstick will work on mine? I know this generator is rebranded all over the place. https://www.homedepot.com/p/WEN-Magnetic-Oil-Dipstick-for-Inverter-Generators-Compatible-with-WEN-Yamaha-Predator-55201/303183057 Never mind. Looks like it should work according to last page. |

Anything wrong with shutting the generator down by turning off the fuel cap vent? Would like to store with the carb empty if possible.

View Quote Depending on the generator, you might be able to fiddle with the run switch to cut off the fuel flow right before it shuts the generator off or there may be a drain screw on the bowl. |

Ran it a few hours today while prepping my old car for sale. Used it to power my shop vac and air compressor. I went inside to warm up and get some coffee after switching on the compressor. Came back out and the overload light was on. Label on compressor claims 10A, so it should be ok. Shut off and restarted generator, turned on ac and was unable to replicate the problem. |

Does anyone know if Aldi lists these gennies in there weekly adds when they go on sale?
I saw a bunch of them, but they are a bit out of the way for me, but I'd hate to miss it if they mark them way down. |

I wasn't expecting you so soon. Usually I have to say "drunken half-wit" three times before you show up.

Thanks. That $399 appears to be a regular price, but free delivery makes it not a bad price. Doesn't appear to be quite as nice as the similar unit that is $499, but looks like it would get the job done.

Has anyone ever tried or seen tried an extended 'exhaust pipe' on a small generator?
Basically what I want to do is use my generator with my camper, but position it under the tent that attaches to the entry side of the camper. Exhaust is the problem with this, but if I could attach some type of metallic flex tube to the exhaust and run it out under the camper to the rear. |

I understand the caution, though. Dat exhaust is bad. Definitely best to avoid it. Problem is if I have the tent attached to my camper, and I want power, but there's a thunderstorm incoming and I'm boondocking, I'm fucked. I could slap the generator up in my truck bed, since I have a topper on it, but that depends on my truck being/staying close by. The tent attached to the camper won't move. |

I just put up a small tarp lean to remote from camp, put the genset under it. Lots quieter that way too.

Power just went out.
A tree from the north of across the road came down on the line. I calmly got up. Went to the shop. Fired up one of the Hondas. Plugged the cord into the exterior inlet. Went in the garage and threw the interlock, killed all the breakers. Plugged the cord into the Benny. Turned on a few breakers, then went back to my couch and picked up my bourbon and took a sip. A minor 5 minute inconvenience. TV, internet, some lights, fireplace insert fan, fridge. |
