    Phase Combiner + Being Bored

    Have to pour a pad, tap and run pipe, run wires all from the back 40 somewhere.......yada yada, more work, more $$$ and it makes me tired just thinking about it...But so nice when the power goes out @ 2am, -2 F, 20MPH -50 windchill with horizontal snow and POOF, it starts and switches over by...

    Phase Combiner + Being Bored

    I'll check them out, I don't mind it not being an inverter type, just not so loud, my Troy-bilt rattles the place, but she's a work house...........A standard alternator type probably be most reliable anyway in the long long run. HONESTY want one of those Generac 13-22 kW automatic home...

    Blue Sea Add a Battery

    Fair enough and my mistake as my impression initially was you were of the volition that "fuses are actually included in circuits not to protect the device(s) you may have connected, but rather the wiring which makes those connections" There are cases/designs where main feed fuse rating(total...

    Blue Sea Add a Battery

    LOL, got ya and now I know where your limits were exhausted as well, this is fine......Stating that "fuses are actually included in circuits not to protect the device(s) you may have connected"(which is what the point if you're following and not being sidelined by a baffling back peddling amount...

    Blue Sea Add a Battery

    By "shut down" you mean their internal fuse opened? And they are over thermaling because of too much load current, and too much load current is being limited/stopped by said thermal cutoff, and a thermal cutoff is by definition is a fuse? So, these fuses are ALSO protecting the motor from...

    Blue Sea Add a Battery

    Not all motors have them and if this is the case and the fuse doesn't limited current, the overheating device (the motor) can be the cause of fire, not the wires. Yes and that supposed protection is typically a fuse, by which, can and will protect the device from catching fire/dying, not the...

    Blue Sea Add a Battery

    Well, have to disagree with ya in some respects as it can depend.......... A jammed motor (although not electrically "connected") not turning the windings heat up and the enamel can cook shorting the windings together, if current is limited/stopped by a fuse opening, the motor(the device) is...

    Update on my electric fuel pump installation.

    "Pressure gauge"?? No, get a pressure SWITCH... Perhaps a picture.....and a link

    Update on my electric fuel pump installation.

    For 2 cycle, could also get a 3 or so PSI pressure switch and use the engine's water pressure to energize a relay that powers the fuel pump. When cranking, if water pressure isn't high enough to trip the relay on, could have a momentary push button "prime" switch on the dash that temporally...

    Phase Combiner + Being Bored

    I have a 1/2 size deep freeze and two norm frig's that it brings up and runs, I had one phase up initially then switch to "1+2" and it growns a bit, think one must be on L1 and the other two must be on L2. This thing claims 4K surge....works, runs all three.. BUT........probably should, got any...

    Phase Combiner + Being Bored

    I have 3 three generators, 2-240VAC (7KW and 3.6KW) gas LOUD runners and 1 - 120VAC(3.5KW) QUIET duel fuel Inverter type. Sometimes the power goes out late at night and like a "good neighbor" I don't start the LOUD gen's, I run the super quiet 120VAC inverter gen.............. So to run the...

    Windows 11 yes/no?

    If it's free (or not?), there's always a catch, "by downloading and using you agree to ?????"............I so distrust MS among others No thanks, not until I have too, (says the man typing away barely able to be here on his XP laptop)

    Excessive voltage when running 1992 Johnson 115SPL

    Sounds like you have covered your bases and you do in fact have a bad rec/reg, this isn't that uncommon, but unfortunately CDI (hiss, boo....Over priced Chinese rebrands) seems to have the after-market on Johnson battery charge stuff............Appears that you have a combo and the OEM part is...

    No Spare Tire Included!

    And this is where the problem lays as I see it, there isn't always a way to make a call on a cell in a fair part of this side of the country. Even where main roads exists and are the only way to go, there are large area's, 100's of miles where there isn't ANY cell service. You're now on your...

    No Spare Tire Included!

    Yep, they don't call it the wild west for nut'n, we're all hell on wheels out here I guess (or is it, our wheels run in hell?) BUT even at 25 years, when you need a tire and have a can of glue, guess you're SOL!!

    No Spare Tire Included!

    Under the cover in the back.......But a repair kit (missing?) isn't going to get me out of the woods(the west normal driving) 80% of the time. Almost useless IMO. It's renter/buyer beware and I'm just surprised by this I guess, i was blissfully unaware perhaps assuming I'd continue to have one...
