McCulloch FG5700AK 5 700 Watt 11 HP 338cc Portable Gas Powered Generator Non CARB Compliant
The McCulloch 5,700-watt 11 HP portable power generator with wheel kit has a 5-gallon fuel tank for longer running time during blackouts. It’s powered by an efficient 11 HP OHV engine with an easy pull recoil starter. This generator shuts off the ignition when dangerously low oil levels occur, and it’s enclosed in a compact protective roll cage frame. A conveniently located on/off switch provides easy control of this generator, which provides a maximum of 5,700 watts. You’ll also appreciate the large muffler that helps restrict noise from the generator, which is backed by a 1-year limited warranty.

5 Stars McCulloch 11HP 5KW Generator FG5700AK
Very nice little unit, though used very little thus far. Now that I have a generator, we’ll probably never have another power outage
The only con I’ve seen thus far is that it floods easily. Choke it for one pull only (maybe two if it’s REALLY cold). Otherwise it starts easily on the first or second pull.
Note that the picture Amazon is showing depicts a slightly more expensive model, with the side-mounted control panel. The one I received is the basic model, with the plugs right in the end of the generator, and no AC power switches. Just fine for my purposes, and the price was better than I’ve seen anywhere else.

1 Star i was lied too !!!!
i called in my order so i could check on how long it would take to recieve the generator. the lady said they had it in stock at amazon and it would be only a couple of days because i live in seattle. they just sent me a email today april 30, 2008 saying it will not be here till may 9, 2008. the power is going to be shut off by the power company for the next week , just what i told the amazon lady!!!! i could of called McCulloch in lake havasu city, az. and had it here in three days. and i would of had to pay shipping but not the sales tax that amazon charged me! amazon is in it just for the money do not believe them.

Nice portable generator for the money. Will carry the load and fairly quiet in operation. Main Capacitor went out after about 40 hours of operation however, when replaced, it ran very well.
