I bought this Generac XG7000E portable generator (7000 Running Watts / 8750 Starting Watts) new from Costco in Oct. of 2012 and have only used it a few hrs. over the yrs. The carburetor and battery were "bad" so I replaced them w/ OEM parts last Summer and the unit ran great. Unfortunately, now after sitting all Winter/Spring it won't start again... so I went out and bought a new multi-fuel unit for this Fall/Winter. However, I am sure this one would run great again if someone wants to spend a little time and "elbow grease" to get it going... and of course, take the time to start it every month! I even still have the original receipt and paperwork. I paid $1,049 w/ tax back in 2012. Cash ONLY! Please call or text.
