Thank you very very much Combustor. That is exactly the sort of information I was hoping to glean here.
We own quite a bit of land here in the rural country of South Carolina so I am going to build a water well and genny shed, where one of our wells is located, for this genny about fifty feet from our home, and insulate the small building so as to muffle some of the noise hopefully. Also, it is very hot in this part of the U.S., we have palm trees here, so I was thinking of attaching an oil cooler radiator type system and possibly a wrap heat sink of some sort to aid in the air cooling process.
I do not intend to use this set-up continuously but if we were to lose power in an emergency it would certainly be needed to run for the length of the outage, which I suppose in a bad situation could be for a few days perhaps, or more if another hurricane such as Hugo were to strike.
I am glad to know this is a good motor to build the genny from, thank you again Combustor.
Am I incorrect to assume this forum to be located in the United Kingdom? I may be wrong but something tells me it is as in the course of reading so many of the posts I recognize some of the British phraseology from my days training with the SAS up north of Newcastle, Northumberland and Carlisle, below Edinburgh and Glasgow. I am of Scottish-English descent and my ex-wife is Scot, I met her when she was working at a hospital in Newcastle before they moved me to Reihn Main Germany - I was stationed in Vicenza, Italy at the time with the 509th Airborne Combat Team. My wife and I stayed married for 24 years and had three lovely girls, all of whom are grown and proud to call themselves "3/4 Scot and the rest British" as they like to brag.
Anyways, thank you for your help friend.
