    Yeah, I agree. My old kitchen stove works great and doubles as a powder coating oven.

    If you are going into the biz of repairing gen sets, then I would agree with you. But if all you are ever going to have is a 5 KW gen...

    Jimbo. Here is a hint. Any time you see a part with the CAGE code of 30554, the part number will be a hard thing to find. Cage code...

    That part that you circled is for the over temp shutdown. It does NOT drive the temperature gauge. The one that does drive the temp...

    I swapped out the coolant and thermostat today. The unit had a 88c (190F) thermostat in it and it wasn’t stuck. I went ahead and swapped...
