    Nice video and job!
    When testing for the output voltage, it's also important to verify that the frequency is 60 Hz under full load... With no load, it should be about 62 Hz.
    Great job!

    U need the circuit board installed for the bigger generator... it has the start and stop switches on it and it's needed to charge the 12 volt battery.. without it your running without the oil pressure switch 2

    Good video pal big fan of generator videos I run a 7000 watt all the time but don't know a dang thing about electrical. I see these things going for cheap all the time.

    I’ve never had a Single Cylinder Onan, I’ve had Three Twin Cylinders, they always have a nice sound to them.
    So you know you shouldn’t run these generators with out a load for very long.
    The Onan’s I had, I always had lightbulbs connected to them, all the time.

    take 2 clocks with a second hand. plug one in to the house power, second one into the generator. this is how you can set/check the generator to 60 cycles. nice job!

      that's a genius way to check frequency!!

  • @brianbloom1799

    You can buy almost every part you need at a RV center, Just make sure you do What I said, Get a plug in for watts a HZ, set at 60 HZ

    Who needs the "grid" anyway? I'd love to have access to my own power source. Unfortunately, we live in a place that won't allow it.

    Don’t plug computers into generator power as it’s not clean inverter power. Also tune governor to 60 cycles.

    • @chrisbayus5189
      @chrisbayus5189 Рік тому

      Generators that old don’t use inverter technology. Power is generated directly off the motor head and the electronics are mainly for start/stop and speed control

  • @brianbloom1799
    @brianbloom1799 Рік тому

    Make sure if your going to used these to run your home, They are set to 60hz, If not you will burn up all your Electronics,.

    When (If), your mechanical IQ gets higher, you will pull the carburetors and thoroughly clean them out without a second thought, and flush old gas out of the system before you try to start it. Doing that ensures the engine won't have any fuel supply problems in the next few hours of operation. When the air-fuel mixture is not adjusted right the engine will vibrate unnecessarily and run rough.
