Awesome, such a cute little generator :)

If only it worked better

@@blastersmith2007 haha I feel you, I've been building a generator using a old lawnmower engine that I converted from vertical to horizontal, the engine itself has been working flawlessly but I've had countless problems with my homemade coupler between the engine and the large 3 phase alternator I am using. It took me 4 or 5 attempts to finally make the coupler work heh. I eventually built a coupler with rubber dampers, and it finally works :)

@@tigerelectronics5966 yeah my cobbler was a piece of fuel line and hose clamps eventually it it rubbed into the bearing on the motor and destroyed the bearing and the motor never sounded right after that but it still worked fine then I decided to blow up the engine because why not

@@blastersmith2007 awww that sucks, but hey blowing engines can be fun, especially if they're already damaged :)

you'll do fine bro I'm sitting here in our camper doing the same s***

If you have it in a box its gonna suck the exhaust into the air intake

[@blastersmith2007]

Yeah

[@Tom-em3dv]

So then it could cause a dirty air filter or furthermore problems so i would recommend. Making a air intake thats lifted like a semi trucks intake

[@blingblingdog6958]

Cool

[@blastersmith2007]

Until the bearing in front of the motor seized up
