Arghh! The snow storm is approaching and I got out my powerhouse 2100 generator to test run it. The Powerhouse 2100 has an electric start option. No start with electric or manual rope start. Starting fluid usually helps but not today, not even a pop. I pulled the spark plug, grounded it, and cranked the engine. The spark is there but, so weak you have to look hard to see it. I am trying to charge the onboard battery as the cranking speed seemed slow to me. Any suggestions? This generator is a year old and always started before.
Punch Line - My little Harbor Freight 900 watt 2 cycle generator fired right up. It cost 85 dollars with a coupon and always starts. The powerhouse cost 500 dollars and is unreliable. If I hit the powerball I will move to a non electric home in Bali.
