Generator is for sale locally, I'm thinking about buying it. Curious if anybody can tell me what that engine is? Is it a 2 stroke? This is a very old 1500w Homelite generator.


Do engines get rewarded for their steam?

That most definitely looks like a 2-stroke.  Interesting find.  Looks like late 50's, early 1960's vintage?  You could start a generator museum!  :)

Ya know, that wouldn't be such a bad way to justify my growing generator addiction/collection....

I wonder if anybody would visit?  :P

I don't collect generators, but somehow I now have 8 in various states of repair.
3 were given to me by people who'd heard I was interested in them including a cute little Honda E300 suitcase generator.
Its quite nice to be able to hand a few out to neighbors during power cuts.
