Stopped 2 have a beer at a local bar 2 hours ago. In front was a dumpster. Seen this there. Took it, got home, put gas in it and pulled it may times without it even firing. Figgered...... untill I seen the gas shut off valve was closed position. Turned it to open and she fired right up. Let 8t run for 10 minutes, plugged in a Sawzall and works great. Quite,light.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

And who says going to the bar doesn't pay? Nice score!
I have nothing clever to put here.

My dad hasn't bought a lawn mower or any household appliances in over 40 years. He does his shopping at the local dump or curbside disposal. Great find there!

It's unreal what gets tossed in the dumpster these days. Usually it's just a couple loose screws or bolts missing.

Make sure to contact the maker for an operators manual, small gen's like that don't have a permanant magnet, they must be run a certain amount of time per month to keep it "excited" or it won't work and you must take it to a service dealer to recharge it, and that may be why it was in the dumpster.

I bought a 60HP Yamaha jet drive outboard a couple of years ago for next to nothing. it had nearly zero hours on it. The seller though the engine was seized-up because when you pulled on the pull rope it wouldn't budge.
It had been left with the shifter in gear (forward position) and the linkage down at the pump was frozen-up a little. A squirt of PB Blaster, and a little jiggling and the engine was up and running.
It's pretty funny what people will just walk away from.

I've been dumpster diving for a larger cooler I can convert into a minnow tank. No luck so far, but garage sales are coming.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.
