    If you want full wattage at 120 volts that generator has four wires , instead of common tapping two wires 2 to 3, you put wire 1 with wire 3 and tie wire 2 to wire 4 this gives you 120 at full wattage on generator. Instead of seriesing the windings you are parrelel the winding , series gives...

    j609b I used the 4500 watt from northern tool direct bolt on! I'll take pictures tomorrow! With this gen head it will fit into mep-831 enclosure but you will have to remove inverter,pmg alternator,speed control actuater. And move contactor toward where the inverter was!
