Default Re: Ca storm

Last night I went to bed with power and water..This morning I wake up to no power. I want my morning coffee but noooooo...I have to go start the generator. After about 3 pulls on the rope of the 10 hp Coleman POS generator it fires and runs for maybe 5 seconds but then shuts off. This is all being done by the light of my truck. I pull and I pull and I pull on that friggen rope with that cold thick oil in that engine and keep wishing I had taken better care of my back when I was young. Pull the spark plug, bead blast it clean by flashlight..{I have air in my air tank). Still no start. Pull plug again, ground it and pull friggen rope and there is no spark from this POS Coleman. Go in house, Wife offers to go to Starbucks.....Power comes on......ARRGH !!!
