    Troy bilt generator question

    So last night I saw someone post up a garage sale on a facebook site. Had tons of outdoorsy stuff. I saw a big generator and I could make out a price tag of 20$. Yes...20$. So I went over this morning and it was there. Some cholo showed up as I was talking to the owner about it and said he would give 30$. We got into a bidding war and my pockets were a bit deeper. I got it for 50$. He thought it was seized but it looked too new to be seized. I checked and it had oil in it so I figured what the heck.

    Got it home and tore it apart. The pull start rope was caught up in the housing and jammed. Could it be this simple?? Yep started on the first pull. 5800 watt generator with 4 120 outlets and one 220. Purrs like a kitten and looks nearly new !!!


    Now for my question. How much oil do these things hold? I put about 3/4 quart in it. There are two oil fill holes as well. Do they both fill the same pan?? Why are there two??

    Get online and see if you can find an online manual for it.

      Two holes because in different motor applications you may only have access to one side.
