Power out 7:20am 4/14/20

Big storm yesterday. Power only flickered like 3 times. Then this morning when everything is calm, power goes out. Whelp, that's fine. Generator time!

Of course I had just run it and yet it was acting, again, like some junk was stuck in a jet. I may need to replace the bowl or something because I have a filter on there. Maybe there is corrosion on the bowl and it's like shedding particles. Who knows. Or the tank is and those particles are getting through the filter somehow. I got it tuned and it's running smoothly and stable, but a sign that it isn't right, as before, is it would not idle. It may just clean itself up after running and vibrating for an hour or two. That's likely. So next fuel up I will check all that again. It might just be fine. Annoying that it happens though.

Wish I put the SAE30 in it before because it will burn through this oil as it has been doing.

That lasted about 45 minutes. I will add my generator thoughts back to the main thread. Worked fine though.
