True up the bores with a real hone (not a glaze breaker) knurl the piston skirts, and file your ring gaps. Good as new

You know I keep seeing these pistonless liner kits more and more, have complete kits with pistons gotten that expensive? Are we going to end up like back when I was a kid knurling piston skirts?

Actually 12.5 KW is about as as much power as a 60 amp service. Under the REA of the 1930's to the 1950's your average farm got a 60 amp service

Only the power company is allowed to use one wire for both ground and neutral now. They are "guided" by the NESC (National Electrical Safety Code) and the rest of us peasants must "Follow" the NEC (National Electrical Code)

Nice truck, and he isn't insane on the price either,

No offence but 🤮

Mayor Bass had much more important issues to attend to. Like being at this party. All on your dime courtesy of the Biden administration

Zombie Apocalypse and you can be draining gas out of your neighbor's cars after the zombies eat their brains, while your wife covers you with a Polish Hellpup

Here is the quick and easy transfer switch, power inlet solution. But they are like 1000 bucks, Only takes about 10 minutes to install

If he does the work himself, I don't even think that much

BTW this is the proper type generator inlet you mount outside where the gen plugs in https://www.lowes.com/pd/Reliance-30-Amp-Generator-Power-Inlet-Box/3133095?store=&cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-sol-_-ggl-_-PMAX_SOL_000_Priority_Items-_-3133095-_-online-_-0-_-0&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4fi7BhC5ARIsAEV1Yib5SpR-Bh346udqYTXwMiYONDoY-BUz3YaL8BYcbA4KzTth_5E7Jh4aArQfEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Had to look that up lol

I'd totally say diesel is the way to go, but being that they don't get run a lot and you have maybe a 50 - 500 gallon tank full of it. it gets water and algae in it. When the exerciser starts it up every so often it seems fine because it's not under load, But then when the power goes out, it gets loaded, the rack opens up and you are flowing fuel, and then the filters plug up. Most people neglect the maintenance of their stored fuel. The only ones I ever see do it right are utility companies for peaking stations, and some big hospitals. And they have a "fuel polishing" service come, run all the fuel through big filters, add a biocide to kill the algae and prevent growth, and test the fuel

That is what I always did when changing suspension types. That way you have everything you need.

You or me can pull it off without having a problem. But what about your wife, mother, or kids? Also you want to buy a generator that the neutral-ground bond can be lifted if you are going to connect it to your panel. If not, should you have a failure of the neutral, the grounding conductor can end up carrying your neutral current which is both a fire and electrocution/shocking hazard. https://forums.mikeholt.com/threads/portable-generator-bonding.2571850/

Here is what a suicide cord did to John Griffin's (Big Time Brockway collector from Philly) Daughter in law and her mother during Sandy. BTW some of the members here knew John

There is no reason to use a suicide cord when interlocks for your breaker panel are cheap. They are only like 50 bucks

Mine run bauxite is about 2,000 lbs. per cubic yard

Not only the quietest. more or less better quality units all around. If necessary they will run for months on end. A friend of mine ran his whole place on an 1800rpm lister 6500 watt that started out life as a light tower. He ran it for 2 years straight only shutting down for maintenance. These JC ONANS are great too, run them on propane because you can store it forever. I had one on natural gas run a whole police district in Philly for 3 months when a primary fuse blew on the pole and nobody really noticed until the Onan shut down for low oil. Picture is of a Onan 12.5 JC , But the JC series comes in a couple sizes I think a 6.5 is the smallest and something like 15 is the largest. And the KW rating is real, not like these 3600 rpm units with their BS ratings
