I tried to find a thread that was on this forum about a year or so ago. We were discussing using auto alternators and lawn mowers. Many lawn mowers (mine included) use the pull string style of ignition. TO the best of my understanding, this type of engine is EMP proof. So IF you can get gasoline, and IF you rig up the alternator, you can come up with some electricity.
At which point you can worry about the DC to AC problems, voltage problems, etc. All of which have been discussed above.
