What are you planning to run?
No on the wire, that junk is for cars.

I was afraid of that =/
Is this the kind I need? http://www.ebay.com/itm/250-1-0-awg...620?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2320a3abcc
Really expensive - can't find just a 50' length of it.
It seems like NG generators are a little more expensive (both to buy and operate) and don't have the amps to support their watts.You might want to compare diesel generators to Natural Gas/LP generators.
:confused1:...and don't have the amps to support their watts.

Not really anyone to hear it anyway, and I'm sticking it in a building.
Still not sure what wire to buy. If I want 200amps @ 120vac, do I size the wire for 200amps or 100amps? Isn't it like +120 and -120, so the amps will be split between two wires?
Is the difference between speaker wire, THWN, ect. just the shielding? They have this stuff for cheap but it's aluminum - just don't want it to melt: http://www.ebay.com/itm/250-1-XHHW-...325?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2314fddae5
Customs?Probably going to cost about $8,000 total (shipping and customs), then like $500 to rent a forklift to move it.
What do you guys think of this generator?

Does it look like a good generator though? Seem to have all the stuff people try and upcharge for (fuel tank, enclosure, muffler, ect)
Do I just use this wire to hook it up? http://www.ebay.com/itm/0-GAUGE-WIR...CABLE-POWER-GROUND-STRANDED-AMP-/280960244729
Do you / should you ground it?
Sorry if my questions are a little basic - I'm hoping it comes with a manual or something. The plan is to run it to a panel box about 10-15 feet away.
I'm not sure what you mean by the bold. What is the generator for specifically? Has a load calculation been done?It seems like NG generators are a little more expensive (both to buy and operate) and don't have the amps to support their watts.
Because I need one, and don't know of anywhere to get it locally? A new generator off eBay seems to be safer than getting one used off craigslist, especially since I wouldn't know what to look for when buying a used one.Unless you had knowledge of generators, why would you ever buy a generator off EBay?
