Still have no power and my generator stop working at about 3:45pm yesterday. A lot of things went through my mind on what will be the problem. Went home early to investigate. Observed the engine oil was low. Filled it up and about to start it up. Found the pulley starter does not catch and thus can not start the engine. It was extremely cold too. About 20 degree. I tried to fix it in the cold and in the dark. I only have a flashlight. When my hands stop responding to me when I ask it to hold a screw driver, I gave up and went to Sam's club to buy a new generator. Dad was with me the whole time and he said it is harder than going to work.
We got a Subaru engine generator. It was one of the few left. They are in high demand now. Samantha seems to know something is up when I did not play with him immediately after work. She still coughs but is getting better each day. I missed playing with her. But providing her and the family with a warm home is higher priority.
We ate dinner for the fist time in front of our fire place. Dad and I set up the generator and fire it up. It started fine and ran for about 10 minutes and stop. I started it again and it ran for another 10 minutes and stop. I was really worried then. I check everything one more time and start it again. It ran fine after that.
This new generator is a bit smaller than my old one. I think it can not handle the power demand when all appliances started to run almost at the same time.
It ran well over night too.
