I took the whole airpack apart and found the piston gets stuck at each end of the stroke. no scoring or pitting in...

    Generator safety

    Good point, we had an AHJ issue come up here having to do with utility provider and it was determined in court that the State is the AHJ and had the final say since the utility provider is a corporation and not responsible for code enforcement.

    Generator safety

    If the NEC is more stringent then local codes then it has to be followed(provided your state has adopted it, not all have) If local codes are more stringent than the NEC then they need to be followed in addition to the NEC. Depending on who you talk to from your utility provider you can get...

    M35A2 Sound Deadening Project

    Those work well, did that to my old F350 using RhinoLiner, really quieted things down, and best of all, no condensation!
