Teardown: Harbor Freight Storm Cat or Tailgator generator review

NOTE: I have compared this Stormcat generator to the new Tailgator brand generators Harbor Freight is selling and it appears they're the same. It looks like they're simply rebranding the Stormcat generators to the new Tailgator name. Here I tear apart the 69381 Harbor Freight generator to see how well it's made. I paid $89 plus tax for this generator using a coupon. This generator claims to produce 700 watts running and 900 watts peak. Here’s a link to my video on the voltage problem I had with this generator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzvPjqNJlUs Here’s a link to a video about the starter mechanism problem it had right out of the box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-qkfCQwGuo
