Parasitic Oscillation
« on: February 05, 2012, 09:31:06 PM »
My little Honda fan has always had PO when the engine was loaded at about 1200 watts. Hence the tie wrap in the first pic. After a "rebuild" I still had to add the second brace ( in brown primer ) to stop it entirely. While doing that I decided to add a new part or 2.
"Instrument panel" with temp gauge ( a leftover from some project in the past )  and adjustable temp switch with room left over for a future start/stop switch.

Yep, that explains global warming, right there!


I like how you've turned the air intake down, so there's no chance of rain getting in that way.  Are you planning on turning the exhaust down as well?

I have run into the same problem. The direct close connection with the short radiator hose transfers whatever is happening to the engine directly to the radiator. Even if you don't see any movement there is some. You may have a problem down the road when it fractures the tank....just sayin....
