1200w portable generator - Sold!

[Hawgman]

Bought this last week off of Amazon. Used it for about 15 minutes, figured out it would not do what I actually bought it for. Don't get me wrong, it's a kewl little generator. I have ran a 27"TV and two 250w halogen shop lights off of it at the same time. It just wouldn't do what I was trying to do with it. Was going to just return it to Amazon but the shipping costs almost don't make it worth trying to return. Would probably $40 to ship it back to them. Figured I would offer it up here first.

Would be great to drag along to the track or camping trips, stuff like that. Only weighs 39lbs. Manufacturer claims it will run for 4 hours at half load on a gallon of fuel.

Will take $100 plus actual shipping. Comes with a DC plug that has clips on the other end for charging a battery, running DC lighting, etc.

Like I said, I am figuring about $40 or so. That is what I was charged when I bought it. Here are the specs on it.

I might be interested... would be nice to have at the track. But, I gotta know... what didn't it do for you?

Run all the pumps and chiller on my salt water aquarium at the same time.
It would do the chiller, or the pumps, but not both. Had enough sustained wattage, but when the compressor in the chiller kicked on it would spike higher than the max wattage of the generator.

OK... I wouldn't need that feature. haha

Well if ya want it let me know. You were first to enquire. If not, let me know and I will get back with the second person.

If you have someone else lined up, go ahead. I need to do a little research on what I want/need for sure, and I don't have the time right now.
