i got a 4000kw kohler genset out of motor home it runs on
gasoline .i have the nat gas conversion but havent used it yet. k321
14hp engine runs 1800 rpm and has fuel pump. i put a 3 gallon tank on
the handle away from the engine when i put the wheels under the genset.
i put a t in the fuel line and mounted the male omc fuel fitting to the
line just above the top level of the 3 gallon tank ,secured it with
hoseclamps to the handle ,it closes off when unplugged . i can turn the
gas off at the tank and hook up my 6 gallon omc portable boat tanks to
it . its worked out good. the boat tank is away from the genset about 6
feet so i can fill it while shes running or just plug into another tank
while its running . the 3 gallon tank is mounted on the handle i pull
the unit around with and is handy for useing the genset for shorter
periods of time. i put a round car muffler on it and is very quiet. made
a battery rack big enough for a large car battery so i could just toss
whatever size batt i may have on it ,mower batt or truck batt . i
mounted a 4 plug 110 outlet box on a 20 amp breaker to the thing on a
1/4 " thick 1-1/2 inch angle iron upright. and have a 30 amp breaker
circuit for plugging into the house. there are some really good gensets
to be had cheep out of rv's .those new 3600 rpm gensets just seem like
they are screaming when running. i cant run everthing in the house but
it does the gas furnace,fridge ,tv and some lights with no strain. i
have gas stove and waterheater so no elec required there. i think the
transfer switch is the safest way to run into the house ,or extension
cords.
