Now that you mention it I think thats probably what it was. In which case it was probably a 16hp which means 10k was probably a surge rating.
Still I'd love to have one now for our camp, the conventional generattle is pretty aggravating. With a diesel set like that I'd build a dedicated generator house, pour a pad, put the generator in it and build a shed around it. Try to steal my generator now rotten thieving bastards! Yeah, we've had a generator stolen before... -Curt Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 15:40:57 -0400 From: Dan Penoff <lwb...@yahoo.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT standby generator Message-ID: <9c502d20-1444-4052-af42-026701885...@yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Probably an old air cooled Lister.
