Looks like the perfect opportunity for powering a small internally regulated alternator. Can't be much though - a large alternator will choke the engine. Then you need a deep cycle marine as a buffer and a power inverter and you have a "emergency generator set" to run a few lights in the house.

It's a Tecumseh with a horizontal crankshaft. Was thinking about pairing it up with a generator to have a small mobile power source, but not sure how easy it will be to govern the engine to run at the proper RPMs. Any ideas?
