PMG on eBay

[cowboy]

Has anyone checked out the PMG heads on eBay?    I'm really interested in a PMG and would like to buy one from Utterpower,  but have been told they are not available until some time in the future.     I'm really looking at them for their surge potential.    They say they can surge to just about double their rated output for a short time. If I can't get enough grunt to start my well pump I'm out of luck.   My system came with a 3 KW ST head and that's just not enough.   Will a 6/1 drive a 5 KW ST for the short surge I need to get well pump started?   The 5 KW ST I looked at said it needs 7.5 HP for full output,   but I don't think they had a Lister type single in mind when they said that, more like an air cooled Yanmar or clone.

Check with Georgia Generator. I believe Tom is selling them. I could be wrong but it never hurts to check. Tom is a great guy to work with. DD

Cowboy I did look and Tom sells a 8 kW for about 600 bucks + shipping. You can always go bigger. Someday you might get a bigger engine. It would handle the surge if the engine will handle it. DD

Mike, the 8kw head is 50 hz at 240 volts 1500 RPM.  At 1800 RPM and 60 hs, it is 300V !!!!
