Which Gen. Set to replace my Fischer Panda

[mocruising]

My Gen. set has now done 2000 hrs and I want to replace it next season. Any suggestions as to which are the most reliable expense is not really an issue, I just want something that will not let me down.

A very, very long extension lead with oversize cable to reduce voltage drop? Please make sure it is bright coloured and floats, so it can be seen by others! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Northern Lights seem to have a very good rep.

We have a Kohler which has been good. A friend has one 22 years old. I was told by an engineer when a PCB failed that with Kohler you could order any one of 27 parts for the back end whereas with most gensets you'd need a new back end.

The SSCA survey shows Northern Lights with the largest market share (in a largely US dominated market) and the lowest breakdowns per kwh at 0.49. FP is 2.98 and Kohler 2.73. So though I'm happy with my Kohler if I was buying new I'd probably go for Northern Lights.

You may have seen this VERY COMPACT 3KW generator. I think it is worth a second look!!

Perhaps it comes as a complete package. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

What an excellent set - I wonder if its high maintenance? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I think that, for me, servicing this model would probablt finish me off!

easy to service
easy access
you'll need to be careful what you to twiddle with
bear in mind you'd need the right lubricant
having said that , doesn't look like a screamer so you shouldnt upset the neibours late at night
one final point I dought you'll need much choke ... to get things going

Sorry Mocruising, it looks like I have hijacked you post. Sorry.

Clearly the forumites are more interested in the model rather than the make!!!!
