Yeah, that grin was wide enough to shove both his ears back enough to
touch each other behind his head.

LOUD beasties, aren't they? What's the dB rating?

They say "USE HEARING PROTECTION WITHIN 50 FEET", but in reality it is
not so bad, EXCEPT in front of the exhaust/radiator. I would say, it
is a pleasant, soothing sound.

Betcher neighbors' opinions'd differ. Wouldn't it be better to have
the exhaust pointing upward, deflecting some of the sound?

Will you be selling both of those, or keeping one to replace your
other, smaller unit?

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.

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.

Cold diesel engines without emissions controls do spew a lot of
vaporized diesel "smoke". Does the engine have glow plugs to assist
starting?

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"

Ive fired up a bunch of diesels over the years...a smokey cold start is
nothing new. But perhaps others would be interested

You should keep as low of profile as possible, that looks like one of
those neighborhoods that someone will call in the troupes.

Like what happened to me when my neighbor and another got into it. The
other one thought that simi trailer was theirs and thus called them
up. The day after the trailer left town the dude shows up asking where
it went. I told him probably Nebraska by now. He gave me $1,100 in
potential fines ranging from stumps in the bushes that had been there
when I bought the house to the missing fence between the two houses,
if not fixed with 30 days. I was really surprised that I got away with
it in the first place. The trailer was there a good month while I
fixed it and packed it and it stretched from the edge of the sidewalk
to the back of both houses.

Glad I moved. I drew up a comparison once and the last place was like
the size of a postage stamp and this place is the full size envelope
it goes on.

I do miss some, but actually I do get quite a lot of minutes with
