Hi LowGear,
Yes Powerline stood out to me at the time but I actually can't remember if the piston is aluminum or cast iron so I'll have to check. My backup generator will just continue to be a 6500W air-cooled diesel unit but around here the power is so reliable I can't remember the last time I even fired it up. As for the method of payment I know that there are a number of ways but cash is the only one that won't take up more of my time learning how to use it. In the end I know I'll figure out whatever I have to with the right motivation when it comes.
Hi Hugh,
I appreciate the help. Yes, I was thinking of the BC market when I posted the idea. I figured that there's enough people looking to hide in the forest these days and enough forest here to do it. I know it's enough engine to run an off-grid house and produce some heat; all with the fewest moving parts. I have wanted to visit the Gulf Islands for a long time (take that either way) but just never made it with being so busy. Way too busy, clearly.
As I see others actually use the clever username I came up with it starts to sound presumptuous or maybe just silly. I figured since I was listing a Lister(oid)... (see what I did there?).
People generally call me Chad so perhaps I'll go with that.
Cheers
