Nicely done!

What was the problem with the over reving?

It was not over revving. It simply accelerated VERY quickly and
loudly, with a lot of power released ni one moment, to spin the engine
up very fast.

Ill bet your heart was in your mouth until you figured that out huh?

That's not what happened.

When the generator started for real the first time, I thought that by
accident I bought a smoke generator, instead of electrical generator.

It was just spewing storm cloud sized stream of dark gray smoke. It
actually started off slow, coughed a lot, spewed smoke in enormous
amounts, then sped up and ran nicely and clearly.

I will try to record a video of its "cold start" if you like that sort
of stuff. It is kind of remarkable for how it smokes for the first 5
seconds when started cold.

I guess I confused you with someone else firing up a genny for the first
time and they were EXCEPTIONALLY concerned that it started to "runaway"

You're thinking of the standalone diesel engine he has sitting in his
trailer that he's been playing with.

aH!! Indeed. Thats the one.

Whatever happened there?

I'm not sure, but I think he needs to get a tach (optical?) on it to see
if it's really over speeding, or just loud as hell inside the trailer.
