So this past weekend, i picked up an old Hamco generator at a sale. It's in very nice condition, 2500 watt 20 amp. It almost looks like it's never been used. It's powered by a briggs and stratton model 19-FB engine. Type no - 706533, serial - 580688. The label on the side says to use
Above 32F - 20w
Below 32F - 10w
I was able to find the manual online and it advised
Above 40F - 30w or 10w30
Below 40F - 10w or 5w20
This seems kind of confusing to me, and since it's a generator i may be using it during summer storms or winter ice events. So 30w is out of the picture. I was thinking maybe a good 10w30 for year round use?
Thanks.
