Well, after having it listed for a while, this unit sold. Off to a good home on a private island. Wish I could say the same for myself. Onto the next project...

If you run into any kinks, let us know. I did my best to be as in depth as I could with my posts & videos to help others getting into it like you out! Guys here are extremely helpful.

You're a genuine hero! Problem solved. I had a lot of ideas but that wasn't one of them. As I was working on another project, I started it a few times & let it run at idle. No issues. Put a load on & off a few times as well. Seems to be all good.

The voltage reading stayed right at 0.01 volts across D & E.

I will do this all tomorrow after work & report back. Thanks for the reply!

I have the aftermarket controller that Kurt makes on this unit.

So, I have had a minor issue pop up & no idea what it could be. When starting it up with the electric start, the engine will keep surging every 10 seconds or so. I thought it was due to air in the lines but I'm confident that's not the issue anymore. I checked to be sure all the adjustments are...

If I had know better at the time, I would have done something like that. I already have the window units mounted in holes I framed out for them in the cabin. All trimmed out & sealed. Down the road, I might change over & put windows in the holes but these are in there & work for now.

Window units. One is a 8,000 BTU & one is a 10,000 BTU. 10 AWG wiring. Maybe 50ft total including the extension cord hooking the generator to my cabin. They're less than 3 years old. I tried both on 115 volt mode & 240 volt mode. Even connecting both legs in 115 volt mode didn't do it...

Got the muffler fixed. The two bolts that were missing in the back are hard to get at unless you remove the started. Removed it & found some bolts to use. Found that the lower started bolt was missing! Found it underneath it. Put that back in & everything is tight & snug. Re-did all the...

Yes, if I were to refurbish one of these ever again I would not even bother with the old style controller. Thanks for the compliment on following thru. Over the years & watching the internet grow, I have always hated dead ends on things like forums or projects. I also disliked how the...

So, took it out to my off grid place to run it overnight & be sure all the kinks were worked out. Got 4 hours out of it. Woke up just after falling asleep to it making an off noise. Muffler broke right at the header! Seems like a strange thing to break. Turns out the two bolts on the back side...

Alright so I used it this weekend & it's just shy of 30 hours now. Got the 0-30 ohm fuel level sender in earlier in the week. Modified it so that that size/length was close to the existing one. Got it in & it worked great. Installed the jumpers for 120v mode at the lugs & installed the switch...

I decided I'm going to mount it to the left side of the output lug compartment, similar to the outlets. Going to put something to secure the box so you have to make a bit of effort to turn it on. Also, will make something to be a reminder about it at the voltage selection switch.

So, I got a few more parts in today. Got my batch of in line fuse holders & put one on the positive side of the solar charger since the one on it had broken glass in it. I don't know what ampere rating glass fuse was in there. Does anyone have one that can tell me? Installed the new fuel...

I know that probably makes more sense to do it at the output lugs... but does it provide any protection? It would just be much less work to put the switch as I was thinking. Run 6 inches of wire & it's good. I'm just not sure how I would be able to put a switch inside to make the connection easy...

When you jump them, do you do it at the inverter or the lugs? I wanted to put something together so this could be done quickly. My thought was to put a switch between L1 & L2 1 right at the inverter in a protected gang box. What do you think of this idea? Run a very short set of wires out & to...
