Bought a Powermate PM800 portable generator at an auction today for $42.50. This is a small, camping type machine with two outlets and a small Kawasaki 4 stroke engine of maybe 2hp or so. I don't think it has been used much at all, it even still has the price sticker of $349.95 on it. I changed the oil, filled it up with fresh gas, and was rewarded with that wonderful smell of fossilized gas being reliquified. I got it to run by squirting brake cleaner into the intake. I'm going to replace the fuel filter and see if I can get it to run on gas tomorrow. I used a hose pincher tool to prevent gas from reaching the carb for the time to preclude a crankcase full of gas.
What can you tell me about this genny? It is not a Coleman model, the manufacturer's sticker says it was produced by a firm called "Agriway" or something like that. Any experiences or advice would be welcome.
