Well, following ya'lls lead, i went to Northern Tools, I hve done business with them for work here in town and tey are a great company to deal with. Found a generator for 149.99 and i can take it back if i have any troubles and deal with them in person ( no shipping either).

I will probably give them a shot. thanks again everyone for your input.

here is a link for others who might hae northern tool stores in their area.
