The ST-5 is a great match for the 6/1. As mentioned, the large spinning mass allows it to start fairly large induction motors way better than a typical 3KW could(if at all:)). All the ST's I have seen have had straight fin impellars and brush holders centered perpendicular to the shaft centerline. They don't care which way they get spun... For this ammount of power transfer I think you could go a long way before you would beat the serpentine microgroove belt. I don't know if George over at utterpower is still selling the machined Allmand drive pullies, but I could not be happier with mine. It is 8.25" in diameter machined to take up to an 8rib belt, and uses a tapered clamping bushing and key. Installs onto a ST-5 shaft in about 2 minutes. The belt runs from this pully around the 24" flywheel. This ratio gives you 1800 generator RPM from I believe 630 engine RPM...
