Ok now we got the motor on the machine and it works great .. Now here is a generator question.. I can buy the original winco for about 363.00 I think it was... Its 2000 watts.. Now here is another idea, I found a 4000 watt generator head in Jackson, it is made by VOLTMaster. Now does the motor only use the required HP to pull the load that is put on the generator or does the HP rateing have to be there for the generator even at no load.. I will only be drawing between 1100watts to 1800 watts.. But I can get this Volt Master at a pawn shop down the street for 65.00.. Just wondering .. The owner Guaranteed it to work..
 
Good Question... Maybe till I get it home.. LOL I hate spending money... I almost cried when the money for my motor came out of my checking account..Now I want a generator head for my machine but I really dont want to spend the money... Ron said something about a voltmaster or something for 225.oo I cant find it...if I do how the heck do you mount them they dont look like the have adjustable bolt holes.. I guess the answer is just buy the damn winco and be done with it... URRRRGGGHHH!!! Ok so Im Froogle..
 
Higher output generators are "usually" larger in size, higher rotating mass. But a 4K watt wont be twice as large as a 2K watt. So you will use a little extra horsepower just to spin it. Ive always wondered why a PW needs such a high wattage generator, my hot box uses 3 amps (bout 330 watts), what else do you run on yours?
 
On my whitco the burner ingniter says 2.2 amps and the 1/5 hp blower motor says 8.2 fUll load amps so thats about 1300 watts or so .. Then I usually run a 250 watt halogen light .. Thats it... I am going to buy one soon , just got to take care of a couple of bills first.... I have to work tonight at 10pm .. But I really dont want too.. Darn , Gosh, Geewiz..
 
Ok I rescheduled for tommorrow night ... I dont know why... I am so tired but I just am.. I am also really scared that my new motor and stuff is going to blow up... I don't know I guess I just need to run it a little more..I do know one thing the Robin Subaru motor is alot quieter than the Honda ever was.. Only thing is that when I start the Subaru motor the starter tries to disengage before the motor is fully started... And it does take a few extra spins to get it started , But it works..
