I'm sure Homedepot will have a shipment in today or last night. Try giving them a call.

What happen to yours? I might be able to help you fix it.

I believe you would be hard pressed to find a generator store open this morning. Tomorrow you will find plenty.

I have 3. I might sell you one for like $5K and a night with your sister, wife, mom, grandma, etc.

Ran it yesterday and it did fine. Got home this morning and cranked it and it would die. Finally started running but was surging. Started undoing fuel lines to clear them and the fitting on the bottom of the gas tank broke spilling all the gas.

Its a 5000 with a Subaru motor

TTake one of your boat fuel tanks and hook the fuel line to the genset. That should get you up and running.

No sister but I have a sister in law that's a freak, wife is do-able, mom deal, both granmothers are dead so I doubt they would mind. Will throw in a horse ride and get out of jail free card if you knock the price down

I was just messing with you. If I really had 3 I would loan you one no doubt. Good luck finding one.

I'm sure it will be a couple days. Try the boat fuel line. Easy to do.

OReilly Auto Parts online shows they have a lot in stock at both Alexandria locations.

May want to check closer to the crib.

Good luck, FTF.

Loewer's Power Sport in Alexandria has been running ad's non stop all day and night for the past two days advertising that they have Honda and Yamaha generators on hand.

Lowe's also had some generators still on hand when I went there last night.

You might want to call up there and see if they have anything.

People were saying Cabela's in Gonzales had them yesterday.
Obviously, call first.
