Ike,
Thanks for the info and time spent on replies to my questions. Sounds like the best advice is to not use old tools ;-)

Thanks,

Thanks again so much for taking the time to answer...
One more, then I think i'm done. If we say that having a tool with a neutral case (generator isolated) can deliver a shock to the operator due to voltages building up on a floating neutral... Wouldn't it be equally likely for the frame of...
Ike, ETN,
Thanks for your insights, I'll probably end up running an external jumper from L2 to the Ground Lug on the frame. Does the gage of wire matter and is there a better internal location for this jumper?
ETN, i wanted to make sure I understand your statement:
"Running a standalone...
Ike,
Thank you so much for your help! I did check for connectivity between the Lugs and the grounding lug on the frame and all were open so I assume there are no jumpers in place.
If I were to add a bonding jumper from L2 to the frame inside of the panel, do you have any suggestions of...
Ike,
Thanks for the reply. I am certain L1 & L2 are 120V as I did measure them with a DMM. I also measured the resistance between all of the terminals and all were open line with the exception of L1 & L2. I assume this means the generator is currently isolated from the frame.
With regards...
Hi All,
I have what I think is a silly question. I'd like to hook up my generator for now as a stand alone unit in 120V single phase only. I'm starting small by wiring up a single NEMA 5-15 outlet to the lugs. My friend suggested I hook up Hot to L1, Neutral to L2, and GND to L0. After reading...
