Your last generator Maintenance Run

[CloverKnollFarms]

Ran it under load today to jack hammer some concrete under the lawn. Worked like a champ

I do have photos but I have a new phone & it’s a 10mp photo which is too large & I don’t know how to reduce the file size.

I’m running it with a 2.9kw load.
These engines are little gems. This engine has a tapered crankshaft for generator mounting but has a shoulder before taper long enough to mount a pulley with a taper-loc hub. I have my exahust fan connected so I can run them under load in shop.

Ya, i have to run my phone pics thru my desktop to reduce the size. Otherwise too large to upload….. and people probably dont want to have to download huge files either

Re: Power quality, I found this PQ1 Power Quality Sensor | Powerside
Unsure on price.

Otherwise I'd get an undervoltage relay from a manufacturer such as Phoenix Contact and set it to trigger at say 0.9x nominal voltage. Make sure to fit a squeaker so you know the fridge power needs resetting.

I forwarded the info to my sons fil and told him about the generator forum here on tbn so from here on it’s in his hands.
Thank you all for the input. I always learn from others woe’s.

More compact, than I envisioned !

Thanks for persevering with the picture

Happiest days of my life are outdoors sweating.

Happiest days of my life are outdoors sweating in the cold.

Slight tweak, to make it better!

It is quite compact but quite heavy for the small area it occupied.
I’ll take more photos & see if I can edit the file size to post more photos.
