ronmar, that is exactly what i was doing with the 1/2" c/k valve.
the plate is already made i just need to tap the hole 1" now., i think i have a 1 1/4" foot valve for a well pump. this might work.
I'll get back and post Monday .
my cousin's have me busy on a float trip to day. it's been nearly 100 every day the past week and no relief in sight. good time to intertube float these cool Missouri rivers.
ronmar, what rpm do you run your engine?
i usually run mine betwen 450, and 550 rpm . mine is a 6/1 vihata. when i have it belted to the generater head i have to run it about 550 for 125v a/c or 230v a/c .
i only use the generator head for pumping [well pump] to fill a 1550gal tank that takes care of my water.
when i have it belted to the 24v delco 90 amp alternator i can run less, i back it off depending on batt. voltage.
when it's this hot, i have to run all night to keep batt's up.
during the day my solar array keeps up.
