I see a belt in the photo... I see the yellow writing on the belt. Its hidden by the pump in his photo.
I agree scrap the pump and go thermosiphon. it works so well because there is nothing to fail.
Cool !! Only so much can be done with a lathe though. Precision requires grinding. Bore work requires a boring bar and honing to working size. Lathes are great for making bolts and nuts though. Also spacers , washers , etc. Do yourself a favour and get a tool holder that accepts carbide tips , also the same but for carbide parting tips. HHS tools are too much hassle !! Is there any tooling with the beast ?
Jimmer- Flashing a generator means applying 12VDC to the rotor brushes, to get the rotor electromagnet "recharged". The residual magnetism when the generator is shut down is normally sufficient. Shutting down with a load on drains off the residual magnetism. There is not exposure of genitals involved in this sort of flashing, so sorry to disappoint.
