We have a small diesel one, labeled up 'Marksman'.... it starts, and powers perfectly, takes a few knocks and drops, but it is a bit smokey.

The Honda powered ones always sem to be the best ones though.

I'd say go for a second hand Honda at least you know what you're getting rather than going for the lottery of a cheaper one.

Honda are the largest Engine Manufacturers in the world - due to their genny sales - Many, many millions of users can't be wrong :thumbright:



(then again, Many, many millions of yanks voted for Bush :shock: :lol: )
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
