Hi Jim I bought a Powermate PM0105007 - 5000 watt gas power electric generator from home depot. The engine is a RATO made in china. Am I going to be ok with this?

Answer
Yes, you should be find with this engine. Engines from China have been in the US for 8 - 9 years and have really had no major issues over the last 5 years and parts are typically accessible if needed.
The key is to do proper maintenance such as running the unit every week to every couple of weeks to keep the internals proper lubricated and prevent moisture build-up.
This also gives piece of mind knowing it is going to work when you need it.
Proper oil changes and using clean fresh fuel with a fuel stabilizer is extremely important.
Read the owner's manual from cover to cover as there is usually a ton of information that is extremely helpful.
