If I keep it outside wont my plugs short? I just tested this out in the garage and tried to get through a half hour of the Jefferson's and only made 20 mins and started to get dizzy. I think it's just me having an anxiety attack because Deal has me scared as hell? I usually do not get these kind of attacks when I am drinking though.. I shut it down and stood in rain for about 10 mins and now am back inside my house smelling of gasoline and fumes.. Plz advise
dude you are going to die
that's like sitting in the garage with your car running
Amazing
Put the generator in the garage, leave the garage door open. Run an extention cord to the tv and drink up.
Willie i have a 2 story garage and had the godamn garage door open and got dizzy as hell!! Wtf good r these things if u can't use them to watch tv and run the electric cooler? I got robbed here.. I mean if the power goes out am i supposed to sit out in the rain with my tv? I didnt even get ice cuz I have an electric cooler.. Thank god I came on here cuz I had the shit all set up to watch game tonight in my game room. I mean wtf good r these things if u cant use them even in your garage??Quote:

I bought this 2 days ago off a guy a couple towns down from me when i heard that this storm was coming.. This thing works like a charm and I already started it up twice and tested it out.. I added a picture of it.. It's older but runs good and all four outlets work. I just don't want to die watching the game tonight.. I no it is old but I got it for $45 it has a muffler on it and doesn't make much smoke after 5 mins.. If I open my windows should I not be safe with this thing running in my home?
Do not run that $45 contraption in your house or garage.
I have a generator on standby. It cost over $2000, has all the bells and whistles but I would never run it in my house or garage.

Pete I am being serious and from the pool results I see everyone is being a jokester here. If i keep it outside my garage will I be all right I just robbed an extension cord from this old lady across the street that has a 100ft extension cord. I knew she had it because she always cuts her grass and i see a cord coming out of the mower. If I run this orange ass cord through my garage window and keep this thing in my alley will I be ok, I cant miss this game..
No shit. Are you fucking retarded? Great advice.Quote:

Stir it good for about half an hour, then put it in a bucket and wipe down the generator exhaust. You should be good to go.Quote:

So I made a 2500 bet so Ill be up 1200 or down 3750 i mean this is real shit. With this storm I hope if I do lose he's not trying to collect on Wed like usual. I knew about the carbon thats why I ask the poster about it and he said make a thread but he wouldnt do it.
I want to be clear. My advice is to not use that $45 generator.Quote:

You seem determined so I will tell you that should you use it you must place it outside in a well ventilated area away from any buildings. Your extension cord must be a heavy duty extension cord and you must plug that cord into a surge protector strip before connecting it to a refrigerator or TV.
Most generators are not approved for running sophisticated electronic devices like computers and HD TVs. That dinosaur could fry an expensive laptop.
My generator has built in circuit breakers, surge protector and AVR (automatic voltage regulation) and an inverter which assures a more stable electricity flow. I'm sure your generator does not have these features.
If you insist on using that thing make sure you don't let it run out of fuel. When a generator nears empty it will surge dramatically so keep it filled.
Pete is a good man and thank you for being serious here.. I am working on all this as we speak and taking all precautions as u stated above. Im just getting smacked with rain when I do it and people keep passing me by beeping there horns either to say hi or to get the fck out of the rain u drunk??.Quote:

U know what may suck the power may not even go out its 7:50 est and its just real rainy outside not much wind.. Ill cut my breaker off after all the work I did here to get this thing set up. That generator weighs at least 250lbs my arms hurt from dragging it around all day from place to place..
I just assumed your power was out. If it's not you might be OK right through the game.Quote:

Your old RCA probably won't be able to tune into regular television w/o a convertor box that is built into newer models.
Shit, I hope your power is on.
Power is still on for kickoff.. Probably did all that work for nothing..
POWER ON BUT LIGHTS FLICKERED 4 TIMES.. I HAVE THE UNDER THINK IM GOING TO NEED MY GENNY FOR THE SECOND HALF AND IM READY BOY'S!!!
