STARTING A GENERATOR THAT HAS NOT BEEN RUN IN YEARS

I LOVE DOING REVIVALS. THOUGH AUTOMOBILES ARE MY PREFERENCE, THEY ARE BIG AND EXPENSIVE SO I TAKE WHAT I CAN GET, A GENERATOR IN THIS CASE. HERE I WILL REVIVE A 1993 COLEMAN POWERMATE 4000 WATT GENERATOR POWERED BY AN 8HP BRIGGS AND STRATTON ENGINE. I ACQUIRED THIS AS PART OF AN ESTATE, A FAMILY FRIEND OF MY IN-LAWS WHO PASSED AWAY. I KNOW FOR A FACT IT HAD NOT BEEN RUN SINCE I ENTERED THE FAMILY IN 2010 AS HE WASN'T HEALTHY ENOUGH TO MOVE IT AROUND OR PULL THE ROPE UPON INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THIS IS A LOW HOUR UNIT, I EVEN THOUGHT FOR A MINUTE IT MIGHT HAVE NEVER BEEN RUN BUT TURNED OUT NOT TO BE THE CASE. I THINK ITS LAST USE WAS SEPT 2003 WITH HURRICANE ISABEL BUT I CANNOT CONFIRM. I DECIDED THAT AFTER I GOT IT RUNNING THAT I WOULD GIVE IT TO MY PARENTS AS THEY ARE ON WELL WATER AND DO NOT HAVE A GENERATOR. BE PREPARED FOR HURRICANE SEASON AND WINTER STORM/SNOW SEASON, SERVICE THAT GENERATOR SO IT IS READY TO GO. THANK YOU BRIGGS AND STRATTON JUNKIES FOR HELPING ME DECODE THE ENGINE. #briggsstratton #briggsandstratton #generator #SERVICINGGENERATOR #MAINTAININGGENERATOR #firststart #coleman #COLEMANGENERATOR #hurricaneseason #hurricaneprep #hurricanepreparedness
