i just did a water change, we got this dude stick with it. to avoid that issue i always unplug certain equipment the reason why it shorts out is because when we restart our generators it still carrys that huge load on it. if you unplug things and then run the generator and slowly plug things back in you should be able to avoid that issue. really sorry man!

I have a generator you can use. I tried for gas this morning like we talked about, but had no local luck so I gave up. The generator still has about 3/4 tank full and was bought brand new last year after Irene. It's 3500W.

drove all the way to northport to pick up a generator, got a ticket on the way there turbo hooked me up big time got home. my generator started running again i just cant catch a **** break i think i am going to use turbos generator specifically for my tank its a newer one and i dont think it will surge as much as my old one does. if i lose any of my equipment id be tapped. how sensitive is lights and an mp40 to damage from a surge? the mp40 is the only pump i have i sold all my others.

i know im a little late but if you're worried about the syrge just use a surge protector but i used my mp40 and my t5s on my generator no problem with no surge protector...just make sure you have it at the right throttle speed before plugging in
