  1. Roast/broil after seasoning? You didn't say.
  2. Just curious, I can only see the turbo exhaust. any pics of the turbo kit? What's missing? A pic or two will tell. Is that a Hookers XX decal on the front of that black nose fairing? Did we know this guy? I think you have some XX treasure. It would cost me twice your asking price to come and get it. Good luck
  3. Good prices from that site. I looked up my last kit purchase over a year ago. Your site listed is about 1/3 the cost.

    I tried to buy a CBX about 15 years ago. Beautiful low mileage CBX stored in an out building with a layer of dust on it. He started it stone cold and it ran like an electric motor. Perfect. I made him an offer that I thought was fair 15 years ago. The old guy got all butt hurt and said it was his Sons that died in a car wreck. oops He more or less kick me off his property. My bad.
  5. I have bought and sold gun items and I/they requested USPS money orders. You can only buy $1k per money order so, it's a little hassle. Never heard of any disputes over USPS money orders. Federal forgery or fraud with the US Postmaster is a big deal. I never had any doubts.

    I still think Tesla needs balloons in the spokes. Oh, the silence oh, the misery.
  7. With or without political discussion? Faux news -- 176 over 119 CNN -- 120 over 74
  8. Just the bag with the franken bolts please. Thanks. ( top photo )
  9. So it was Moto Guzzi who invented the center stand ?
  10. Since you lose Boom control voltage when the engine stops. I am going to take a guess that the DC Boom control voltage is fed from K3 relay (Engine Run relay) opens on engine shutdown.
  11. No idea. Lots of old timers lurk here and seldom post.
  12. It could be worse. He could have rim locks.
  13. Dano sold his XX many many years ago. Have not heard from him in atleast a decade.
  14. I agree with Oscar. Wires need to be identified and labeled. If you look at Fig 3-4 Section 3-7, The drawing shows 7 wires leaving G1. Four of them are the main focus here for now. The wires they have marked as M4 - is neutral, M2- is ground, M3 - is a phase conductor, M1 - is also a phase conductor. The ground should be easily identified by measuring resistance to the chassis. (should read zero) The drawing shows the neutral and ground bonded at the terminal strip. I doubt it's bonded inside the generator? Maybe so? Your ohm meter should prove this. The phase conductors are shown connected also. Then the drawing shows this terminal feeding cb1 with an optional cb2 with 120v only potential. That does not match your nameplate yet it matches the RV way of use so I am also cautious to advise connection. Ac voltage needs to be measured between any combination of conductors. There should be wires elsewhere leaving G1 going to the starter relay (k1), a wire to grnd and a wire to a blocking diode. (K1 energizes a winding in the generator making it a temporary starter motor.) Not real concerned about that right now because you can start it. Later on we can check for dc voltage after the blocking diode. I now realize after pissin out the martinis and beer that my Onan 4.0 is a contractors model and doesn't fit this conversation. I know absolutely zero about this battery isolation gizmo. So, I am probably not much help here.
  15. The starter relay with the small wires is more than likely the starter motor circuit for the generator and the starter relay with the large wires is probably the battery isolation tom foolery. Good night boys.
  16. Oscar, it does make 240v and it does charge the battery. Thanks for verifying that it is not an RV unit.
  17. Oscar, no reason to shout. I never said my Onan 4.0 came from an RV. Your Onan says RV. Mine does not. Your Onan makes 120v. Mine will make 240v and Joes nameplate says it will also. Thanks for the RV education but honestly, I don't give a damn. Joe, I lied. It seems I have been drinking all night. Talk to ya later.
  18. You are embarrassing me now. I would have to dig that fukr out from underneath the table saw behind boxes of treasures to take a picture for you. The thought of the generator running only until the battery dies is not what I would take camping. LOL I'm glad you can occasionally just to recharge the battery. fwiw, Joes name plate shows 120/240v. it must not have come from an RV ?
  19. Oscar, may I suggest you put your voltmeter on the battery terminals while the Gen-set is running stand alone? I am curious why yours doesn't charge all night in the desert.
  20. I'm curious. Mine produces 240v. Is your RV Gen-set tapped for 240 or 120V only? I have no knowledge of RV's. I thought they are 120V only. Is that true? Mine is on a homemade cart and has electric start.
  21. Yeah, mine charges. Ran it in my shop with volt meter. edit: yes electric start
  22. You might be really angry when I suggest you buy a Honda powered hyd pump and give up on the Gen-set. Battery powered tools for any application.
