Carruthers, it is/was a Briggs and Stratton 5500 always very pleased with B&S small engines.
xoxoxoBruce,
I almost knew SEARs would replace it when I took it in for repair. Very annoying to have to have it shipped [ their dime]from Indiana to Ohio and wait almost 3 weeks for this news though. I am borrowing the neighbors and probably wearing out my welcome
SEARs price matched the generator for me 2 1/2 years ago Big R had them too, and the whole generator with the 3 yr warranty was only $449. The generator is now $719 owwie This generator has to be ordered and I will have to maybe wait another 3-4 weeks for it's arrival. :/
