[SEL] Onan Generator comes home

[Andy Glines]

Looks like a nifty little rig.  Maybe the piston tried to come out while the head was still on one time.  I'll bet that that little water cooled engine runs nice and quiet.  Is 50Hz power the norm in europe?  In the US we use 60Hz.  I would imagine that speeding the engine up to 1800 RPM would give 60Hz if needed though.
