- How much can the GP6500 power at once?
- It supplies 6,500 running watts and 8,000 starting watts. That covers a fridge, furnace, lights and a few small appliances, or a transfer-switch hookup for selected circuits.
- Does it have electric start?
- No. The GP6500 is pull-start only. Generac's GP8000E and larger models add electric start if that matters to you.
- What is the difference from the GP5500?
- The GP6500 adds about 1,000 running watts and a larger engine, so it can carry more load at once. Both are open-frame, pull-start units.
- What comes in the box?
- The generator, a cord, a tool kit and the owner's manual. A transfer switch and extra cords are sold separately.
- Can it run a whole house?
- No. It is a portable unit for selected circuits or corded appliances. Whole-house backup needs a larger standby generator wired to the panel.
- How should I store it between outages?
- Run the carburetor dry or use fuel stabilizer, change the oil on schedule and keep it in a dry place. Stale fuel is the most common cause of hard starting.
