   Check with Northern Hydraulics (or is it Northern Tools now).

   Kolher makes gas fueled generators, but I suspect that they are all going to be big and full featured.

   You might check with some local LP supliers and small engine shops about the practicality of conversion kits. They you have the option of all kinds of generators.

   "by beer-thirty..  it was in place , and qtrmeg showed up to help us relive the day at the local tavern..."

   Ha, timing is everything.

   It seems that Roy had that same look when I said "Guy, we could have slid that into my truck and drove it right up there". He must get that look a lot working with you, ;-).

   Ever get that propane thing straightened out?

   Mike,

   that's great

   Hope you don't have my luck, after all that it wouldn't work, and I'd have to tear it all down.

   took me three tries to put in one of them fold out trays in front of the sink (in the false drawer).

   I was right about getting a small engine conversion kit.

   I did a google on "propane gas small engine conversion". I got a number of hits. Here are a few
