That contractor generator may work fine (although loud) while at the track, but mine used to turn off all the time while driving down the road. Somehow the oil sensor was not designed to be bouncing down road, so when the road would get rough, the low oil sensor would think its low on oil and shut down. Driving on I-40 was annoying. had to stop all the time and restart the generator.

I am getting a diesel generator from Martin Diesel built with a Yanmar diesel engine and a McCollough gen head for less the $3500. After three years of dealing with gas generators, this is a major blessing.
