I knew about the RPM issue with air-cooled but didn't know about the 4 pole on the liquid-cooled. I couldn't imagine how load mine would be without a enclosure. After watching your video, I found the Napa equivalent oil filter for mine & saved some money thanks for your tips!
Your air cooled is a 2 pole genset, It runs at 3600 RPM under load. They are Loud, I also have a 15kw 2 pole air cooled portable set. It aint inside an enclosure like yours & its LOUD a hell! It has a 30HP V twin
My 25KW stand by is a 4 pole water cooled set & runs at 1800 RPM under load. It uses a 45HP in line 4 cld Mitsu OHC
Napa sells filters for both at 1/4 the price of Generac's filters.
JB, I tried to send you a video of my noisy air-cooled 20KW Generac running in quiet mode & full speed but I don't see it listed here. Oh well! If you want to see it, search my screen name & you will then be able to select it. Skip the first minute, I was having a tough first time using the display menu. I wish mine was as quiet as yours.
I loved your video. I would love to have you as my neighbor. I have only one comment though. I think I would have removed the positive battery terminal instead of the negative. With the positive side intact, you have the potential of meeting the positive terminal inside the unit to the chassis or some other ground causing a flow of DC current thru the unit. I hope I said this right. I'll be watching your your other vids too. Keep up the good work. You are really cool,not like the deadbeats here.
i got a hardly used 1974 3 kw Generac generator with a 7 hp Briggs for 100 bucks the other day it is a very heavy and well made generator i don't figure it has more than 200 hours on it wee are having a winter storm at the moment i figure it will get used tomorrow
Man, you're hilarious. U look, walk & talk exactly like my mentor, Claude Fisher of Detroit. (Aside from our Northern accents, that is). Always grumpy like & @ 1st U're offended 'til U get that's how he treats folks he's cool with. "Hand me that damn meter! Where's my safety glasses!" Like there's a problem, but he's just funnin'. Coolest guy 2 wk with & a great friend. never held back his knowledge. Always sayin', "Those damn non-union bastards; look at this!" When something aint right.
hahaha wow this guy is cool, I got here from lookin up lawnmower engins. I love the southern accents and some of the adj. Fist time I ever heard say of an engine (exersizine itssef) LOL Seriously this guy is very interesting. I gotta go have a look see what else he got goin on. peace yall
Dont know anything about these standby gen sets but i have heared alot on nightmare stories about generac portable generators like the gp 5500 leaking fuel and no starts. I wouldnt buy anything but a north star or winco, both made in America. Honda motor yes but still made here. An older Briggs and stratton second choice.
Great video JB, good info! Don't cut off thumbs up, it's unanimous everyone likes this, except for Generac. Oh, and don't forget your dosimetry if you enter that posted rad area, boy!
Diesel will go bad in the tank if not used up & refilled often. It grows an algae that will contaminate whole fuel system. If you have other equipment to use use up the fuel Diesel is fine
NAPA has everything for em
ReplyDeleteGood info...I also live in LA zip 70005 and wonder where one can get filter for oil and air

ReplyDeleteyour Video was most informative! my question is-if you had a choice would why not Diesel engine???
ReplyDeletefrom up in the Mountain
Watching this video has made me not want a Generac. They just look like they are too hard to service.
ReplyDeleteI like you, you are down to earth. I would love to have you for a dad.
