Re: [RE-wrenches] Small genset 2 wire start?

2017-10-14 Thread bruce 
   I used to use the 6kw ecogen but it has been disco'd and I can't
   justify the 15 kw. Checking out the HD Kohler 8kw and Onan QG3600.

   Thanks!

   Maybe the Home Depot 8 kW Kohler would meet the ticket. It has 2 wire
   start, propane version, can be configured for 120 volt OR 120-240 volt
   output, has an optional "carb heater" run synthetic oil for cold
   weather
   starting. It is not rated Prime power, but for an off grid customer,
   with
   solar and batteries Prime power is not a consideration. It has a 12
   volt
   battery, that can be charged from a 24 to 12 converter or a 48 to 12 if
   one
   can be found. I set the 12 volt float voltage at 13.6 and the batteries
   seem to last for years. charging the battery supplies control and
   monitoring function.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Small genset 2 wire start?

2017-10-13 Thread Gary Willett 
Generac has a 6kw and 15kw EcoGen line  that was specifically designed for 
2-wire start and off-grid battery backup applications. It is dual fuel capable 
(LP and natural gas). I upgraded my 6kw EcoGen to the 15kw model a couple of 
years ago.

You can hack a Generac Ecogen to do it

[RE-wrenches] Small genset 2 wire start?

2017-10-12 Thread bruce 
   Does anyone know of an electric / 2 wire start propane generator 7kw or
   less?  I have a LOL (little old lady) customer off grid for years on a
   Trace 2512 and 6) T105s. We would like to give her auto start function
   and use her propane supply. I haven't found anything but aftermarket
   mods and would like to use factory equipment.

   Thanks
