HarleyD, I have been chatting with Tom about my generator ,MB-19, and you are right, super sharp guy, and very nice to deal with. I have been trying to decide how to approach mine. I was curious about the second genny you did. Does that control panel also require the relay package that the first one did, and does it also require purchase of separate CTs? Is there anything you would do differently on another one? Did you add an AVR?
Mine, I would like to scrap everything that is there down to the 14 wires coming out of the head, add an AVR, and a usable control panel with some basic engine monitoring, as well as engine shut down for low oil, high temp, over/under speed. I don't really need auto start, paralleling, mains monitoring, etc, so it can be very simple, and very similar to yours.
