my farm tractor has a "Thermostart" installed on the intake manifold. it is basically a small coil like a cigarette lighter and when it gets hot a small valve opens and allows a small amount of diesel fuel onto the coil. when this happens it produces a small flame in the manifold and the engine...
i am not an electrician take any thing i write as your own risk and all of my property has the same 1950'ish oklahoma wiring. it was common to use the gas pipe for a ground because appliances were not double insulated. but on all af my old services there is a driven ground at each building...
my central air unit has a fan timer with a bunch of dip switches to control the fan delay, so i have mine set up so the condenser unit starts first for a few min before the rest of the unit kicks on. it helps the 002A start a bigger unit.

Thanks guy's. are there any other auction sites i should monitor while i wait for the surge to slow down? another angle is after things calm down there will be some expensive generators for sale because the need vanished.
was thinking of replacing my 002A with a newer unit from GL. anyone know what they are going for aprox? any advice? i have never done the GL auction before. what about shipping?
