I bought this generator and light combo from Engine DIY on Black Friday.

This is an outstanding product! Highly recommend.

Here is a short video:

It certainly loads that engine nicely and puts it to work!

I can  attest that the lamp posts and gennys are very nice.....it would be great if they sold them as single items.

I thought I have seen them listed as a stand alone unit? Charlie did you buy it stand alone?

Bruce....they sell them as a combo, I'd like to be able to buy each of those items separately, the lamp posts are REALLY nice and very solidly made out of brass.

A good looking gen-set, and that beautiful engine certainly does not leave much, if anything, to wish for either.

Thanks for sharing Charlie!

Yes.  I bought it directly from their website on Black Friday with a 15% off discount code.  I have a few other things coming too.  To be continued…
