Potter,

I just received an ST5 generator from that gentleman, and at first inspection it appears OK, at least similer to another ST5 I got a couple years ago and which is working fine.  I do take them apart for inspection and improvements.

This one is different in that the line connection terminals are located on the outside of the doghouse. 

It will be awhile before I can hook it to an engine for testing.

Thanks 12 gauge do you know if the windings are copper? .   Sorry for all the questions but with all the shiping and duties i end up about 3x the cost  so only one shot to get it right .
thanks potter

potter,

The windings are copper.

I believe akakwo said they could ship from Nevada or Georga so one may be better for you.  Sounds like your outside the US if you have "duties"?

No problem with questions, ask away.

Arived on friday, $ 900.00 & change on site boy the joys of island living . I bored out the original start -o- matic pully to fit works great not a flicker. Starts my 3.25 H.P table saw without a problem never could do with a 5000 watt screamer.Now to figure out how to load it  no problem in the summer, I can use the window AC but winter I dont know .

Buy a few of those cheap resistance strip heaters that mount to the baseboards of a room & keep yourself nice & toasty

   Thanks 12 Gauge its still doing fine,the terminals on the outside of the doghouse without a cover seems a bit dangerous but no more so than open flyweels, pullleys, and belts
