I've only run it for about 5 minutes so far and it seemed to have a bit of a miss at high rpm, but I think it cleared up. I originally made this post right after seeing this unit on Craig's List. I doubted that I would be able to buy it, but the guy called me back and I went over right away and got it. I hadn't realized that this type of motor existed as an air cooled. I wonder how many hours it might be capable of running.
The Army Surplus 2.5 kw alternator seems to put out power. I simultaneously ran two skill saws, a shop vac and a couple of small bench grinders.
My wife helped paint the base frame.
Thanks.
