Well, it's great to know someone is using their genny for these.
Our genny has plenty of watts, 8,500..but as I've googled it's a matter of hertz. A steady 60hz is needed. The genny has a meter on the front and I've never seen it move lower than 60hz except when it's running out of fuel. Maybe finally time to learn how to use a multimeter; hz meter.
I'm going to plug it in next weekend; found out on friday that the electric won't be hooked up for 2 more months, which really means 4.
ETA: We have the Multiquip with the Honda Motor and I love it; except it's pull-start.
