This is a little old, but I thought you guys would appreciate it. When the Frankenstorm Sandy came through I was without power for a few days and it began to get a bit chilly, as my coal fired boiler needs power to run the fan and auger, I needed to solve the problem.
1 re-purposed/salvaged onan 3k generator from a scrap RV + 1 radio flyer wagon + 1, 5 gallon gas can modified with hose barbs for fuel line + 1 red solo cup rain deflector = I fixed it! Power On!
Oh, 1 hour in, the head pipe broke off....solved that with a 2 inch long by half inch od. brass pipe nipple driven into the broken head pipe and exhaust with it running mind you!
