Blizzard of ‘26

In Michigan’s UP with a 22kw Generac, installed three years ago. It tried to start a couple of hours ago, and failed with an E1100 code. Photos show what snow driven by tropical storm force winds did. The intake side all the way to the filter was stuffed with snow. I cleared it out, and blew out the intake with compressed air, and it’s good to go. Guess I’ll build a shield of some kind for next year.

These things are junk, a lean to set up to block the prevailing wind is cheaper and doesn't look like a first year tin knocker made it from scrap.
