Not confidence inspiring at all.  I wonder, how corroded are the parts we can't see?

Agreed, it's obvious that it gets no maintenance at all.

Almost every trailer mount Sunbelt generator I've ever seen.

It sounded pretty bad. It started smoking and the voltage dropped a couple of times which caused the mixer to shut down. After a while the generator just gave up and shut down completely.

We had the rental company bring us another one. They were 1 1/2 hours away. :o Fortunately, we had plenty of time. The replacement was much newer and worked perfectly.

So why didn't we get that one the first time?  >:(

I have refused generators in the past. It is your right as a customer.
If I figure it's failure will end up hurting my rep, out she goes.
But then, I am usually in an urban sting,  where I can draw from 3 or more suppliers.
First look at one like that, I'm on the phone.....

Ya, Whatever. Just throw a '57 on it, and get off my stage.

They sent you a crappy one before the real one - so you could get a hefty discount off the real one.

Predictable result from generous application of water to put out the fire from the last time it was used.

This showed up for a church festival we are doing tomorrow.

I guess I'll remove the California plug and tie into the lugs  :o  They don't look much better but should be OK

WOW. I wouldn't plug my worst enemy's rig in to that! (Well maybe...)

Wonder how long that sat underwater during one of the hurricanes over the last few years.
I guess cheap used cars aren't the only things you have to worry about as flood salvage!
