Any time I'm forced to order one because an OEM is unavailable, I order 2 at least. They never last long, and until covid made things impossible to find I would never touch them.

It's illegal to take road vehicles on ATV trails in Maine. The only way to take trucks off road in Maine would be a privately owned course. There used to be one or two but it was just a 1/2 mile circuit in a back yard. Maine does not have public land like other states.

For boarding helmet and wrist guards. Maybe butt and hip padding. Your going to fall a lot at first. Learn to fall first, then learn to ride. Lol.

Reply to How Long Does Your Generator Run by Mayor_McCheese529
In real world scenarios 6 to 8 hours is average. Maybe 10 to 12 if the loads are light.

Congratulations, not everyone can buy 4 Amazon carbs the day the generator does not start on the off chance one works every time the power goes out.

Ya, IDK about many. In northern Maine where the fuel comes from Canada premium can be Ethanol free. Southern and Central Maine are much farther and fewer. And from the few places I've gotten some from its been really poor quality. In reality what's $25 of fuel to store your equipment and know it's going to run vs $200+ carb repairs.

Canned fuel is much better then pump fuel due to ethanol. No stabilizer will stop phase separation. Fill the tank and carb with canned fuel and it will start easily for 2+ years. If you drain out pump fuel that already had water that moisture won't pour out, it will stay there and corrode. I manage a small engine shop, we do this work daily and we test pump fuel monthly. We've gotten 10% water in "fresh" 90+ fuel. Usually no more then 1 or 2% in 87. In a vented generator tank in the fall with humidity and temperature all over the place there can be 10% water in 2 weeks.

That's typically because the town has it on a map. 911 street maps that all towns are supoose to have is where maps typically get thier data. User suggestions can help but usually you need more then one report unless your a local guide or have a really high user score. It's hard to get reports when your north of the internet.

Reply to So.. how bad is the snow, really? by springrollsissy
Bus lines mainly stay on interstates which are kept up with as long as the snow fall is spread out enough. Too many flatlandrs in the weather service now, the put out winter warnings for every snow flake.
