JW, since you are raising up a bunch of electricians, when we lose 7,000 manufacturing jobs, and the infrastructure that keeps it alive, your students might not have much left to do, so I suggest this "modification" of the thread is quite constructive.
You should read the wall street journal more often: Those fantastic Generac's are made by, and the company simply a branch of Briggs and Stratton. So thanks for buying Briggs and American.
That seems like a very odd defense - a non repairable engine. How would you like it if that was in your car? Billy bob can fix a Briggs [a Generac] and get an English speaking human on the phone in about 30 seconds. The first rule of engineering, you may well know is simplify, simplify.
Here is a forum on briggs vs generac. Looks like ford VS chevy. http://www.mudmotortalk.com/mmt_v2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9930
I have owned or installed MANY "Briggs" generators in one form or another. For the most part they are junk IMO.
I have way more union guys calling ME for jobs than I do calling me for work. I am small time and I am swamped. I have five AMERICAN MADE Generac standby units to install in the next moth alone, on top of being already booked solid. The union argument is NOT one you will EVER sway my opinion on.

A year or two ago I disassembled a Honda EU3000 (Inverter-Generator). The engine was shot......We thought maybe we could get a replacement engine for it and fix it.....It took me hours to get it apart and it was such a complex assembly it would have been extremely tough to get it back together correctly. AND I can generally disassemble anything and put it back together RIGHT! I said it was built to withstand a ThermoNuclear event.......LOL
I called a local Honda dealer and asked their shop guy if he ever did a job like this.....NO was his answer and he said they could hardly recall working on one.....They are a big internet supplier of Honda's...
I took the pile of parts and tossed it in the scrap dumpster.....
