Is that Generator a little diesel one or? Is that originally made to fit there?
It's diesel. It actually the Yanmar engine from a BAPU that I swapped the 24v charging head for a 6.5Kw gen head. Back in 2018 there were piles of them with only break-in hours pouring off GP for cheap.
Sadly, the gen head took a dump at 25hrs during the big freeze. I suspect that it was a vibration issue, but something inside came apart and it was puking sparks like crazy. I have a little gas unit that I've been running since then. Much harder to find a replacement gen head now than pre-COVID. I may look into getting it rebuilt if it's not totaled, but the Northstar brand has not impressed me.
Honestly, it's too loud for the job. I intend to enclose/soundproof it a bit, add a better muffler, and run the exhaust up a stack to try and decrease some of the noise. It's seriously right up there with jack hammer (you literally cannot yell loud enough to communicate with someone standing next to it and the noise is a bit unpleasant inside the habitat). Just the nature of air-cooled diesel. And it does vibrate a lot (I mounted it on it's OEM bushings and between those and the fact that it was suspended on an aluminum shelf that itself is suspended by a piece of rubber mudflap, I think the gen head vibrated itself to bits. But I've never cracked the gen head case open to see what actually failed. It was a HELL of a racket, though wen it failed internally.
I even considered putting the charging head back on but as best I can tell I would be limited to charging only lead/acid batteries and at some point I will eventually shift to lithium for the house batteries.
Great little engines, though. My goal is to eventually only carry one fuel onboard.
