If you are having trouble finding one, I have one left that I can do better than GMG on. It was a takeoff from a machine I had in at some point. Just reach out via PM if you are interested.

There is a video higher up of the run condition. There was no black smoke when it ran.

The 34/78 is the OEM size, but for my inventory needs its way easier to just stock a single size that fits both 802s and 803s. I have not found any performance difference to speak of with the different size.

Yup. The least expensive AGM I have found that works well in this is the Champion AGM Group 51R https://www.pepboys.com/champion-agm-battery-group-size-51r/product/2071617 Lead acid batteries work fine for this too, never hurts to keep whatever technology you go with on a battery tender...

Yeah its a real nice unit, and provides a nice option for the end user.

If its nosediving like that, you aren't saving it.

I have seen figures equating to roughly 3.5-4x the equivalent volume between diesel and propane sets. Energy density simply cant be ignored.

I assume you used to pull out of Lockborne? Much has changed over the years, hasn't it?

Would you settle for panhead? Probably easier to acquire.

I wish I knew more about this topic... long term I will have a freestanding (not grid tied) battery backup system utilizing hopefully multiple power inputs (renewable and diesel based).

Have you taken a sharpie to your mailbox to add the marking "generator down payments here"?

Do yourself a favor in the future... punch a 2" hole somewhere in the case of the machine and install one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ANV81S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It will allow you to place a battery tender in the machine so this doesn't happen again.

I wonder how one 'Canadianize's a generator head?

Have you done a paper test to see if its actual blow by, and not just air coming out from the rotating mass inside the crankcase? Here is an example (you can see light oil list spitting at first, but there is vacuum holding the paper in place):

Exactly what Kurt said. You can either solder the wire back together, or just buy a new speed sensor. About $50-80.

I think if you search the phrase 'load bank' here you will find a few different designs. I built one years ago, inspired by another user here, on a rolling cart with heating elements from a clothes dryer. Its set up to be selectable load steps of 2.7kw, 5.4kw, 8.1kw, 10.8kw, and 13.5kw... all by...

I already have an account with these people... do you want me to undertake this? I can see if they have a next step price threshold too.

Air cooled sets are less prone to this occurrence, but it does still happen.

I have two, but I would consider buying one more in this group buy. Hey @jamawieb... do you need any switches for stock?
