    It is a 4 stroke motor and it worked fine last night. It has an avr so you use directly to theTV etc. The claimed consumption is 2.7 liters for 4 hours

    Its going to get worse, had no power Saturday evening, Sunday evening and this morning.

    @justloadit, We had Friday and Sunday Evening and then the pleasure of 3.5 hours this morning.
    I had several people from a school phone me for certificates we had printed but not yet cut anyway they are now happy and may order earlier next time.
