Our take on the Generac Power - Portable Power Generators Fuel Type: Gasoline Starting Method: Recoil

The Generac 7683 is a gasoline portable generator rated at 6,500 watts, powered by a 389cc overhead-valve engine started with a recoil pull cord. It runs about 10.5 hours at half load on a full tank and offers two 120V 20A GFCI household outlets plus one 120/240V 30A twist-lock outlet for transfer-switch hookups. It suits homeowners who want backup power for a furnace, fridge, well pump or a few circuits during outages, and it competes with other 6,500-watt gas portables on outlet layout and run time rather than on extras. It is a conventional carbureted unit: no electric start, no inverter, and it is loud and heavy like its class rivals.

Questions and answers

What can 6,500 watts run?
It can run a fridge, furnace fan, lights and a well pump, or a few circuits through a transfer switch. It will not start a large central AC without a soft-start kit.
Does it have electric start?
No. It starts with a recoil pull cord only, so you need to choke it and pull firmly.
Is it safe for electronics?
It is a conventional generator, not an inverter, so power is not clean enough for sensitive electronics without a surge protector or UPS.
How long does it run on a tank?
About 10.5 hours at half load. Expect shorter run times under heavy load.
Can it connect to my house?
Yes, through its 120/240V 30A twist-lock outlet and a transfer switch installed by an electrician. It is not a standby unit and must be run outdoors.
