I purchased this generator in early 1999 in prep for Y2K to power up my home in the event I lose power. I have it permanantly mounted in the basement with air intake and exhaust ducted to the outside. I installed an hour meter because I am anal about oil changes. This engine has run 25 hours in the 7 years I have owned it. This past October 12 Western NY was hit with a storm that knocked out power for a week. The run hours were doubled in two days. On natural gas, this generator takes a few cranks to start with the battery. Without the battery, it takes a lot of quick pulls but it will start. So far, so good. A very slick set up.
