What happened to the log splitter project?
You can build anything in this world if you put your mind to it. First
off you need to find out your anticiapated amperage load. Is your
motor a vertical or horizontal shaft. Easiiest way would be a pulley /
belt system or perhaps a flex ty0pe coupling to attach to one of those
units as sold by Surplus center. I guess you could drive a alternator
from a vehicle and alter its output somewhat. an 11 hp should have
lots of capacity to drive a decent sized generator. But a gen is gonna
run some money to buy. For what you can but a commercially made gen
set for nowadays until you figure in and make a sourcxe for constant
coltage control and other features, it would probably run you more to
build a gen set just to utilize this engine than you could buy one for
already made.

Just my opinion
