HI, folks-
I just acquired a new - and I do mean NEW - Listeroid project. It's a Power Solutions 2/20 with a 12 KW ST type generator head. The engine has never been in service. In fact, it has never been hooked to a cooling system! It came with two large boxes of spares - rings, valves, gaskets, hoses, pipes, etc. It's mounted on a steel frame with rubber shock mounts -- well done. I don't have a clue as to who made the 'Power Solutions' brand. I would appreciate any and all info on this unit. Pictures will follow, shortly. The unit is rated at 20 HP @ 1000 RPM. I don't plan on running it at that speed, though. I'm going to test run it a bit and find it's "Sweet Spot" - hopefully around 6-700-- RPM and then change out the generator pulley accordingly. Should be able to pull somewhere between 7 to 9 KW off of it with no problem.
--- OK, I've added PICS. I'm going to do a golf cart starter/generator like I did on my 10/1 Lovson. It's simple and it works great! I'll have to downsize the bushed pulley on the generator when I slow down the engine (to somewhere around 650 RPM). If anybody can give me any info as to availability of bushed pulleys, I'd appreciate it -- They're sort of hard to find!
OH! - And it does look like the unit came from George at Utterpower somewhere around 2007-8. Thanks, 38ac!
Cheers,
Charlie
