Repair-It

Went out around 10:40am due to Henri. About 11:40am I fired up the generator. My power monitoring thing is working sweet.

Tried a medium size induction burner. I didn't measure the exact load but the generator could handle it at 50% without shutting anything off. 75% sounded like it was getting pretty loaded and I tried briefly at full and it sounded kind of overloaded but I didn't run it long enough to actually check the loads to see. 16.66A per leg is max load. It can probably handle a bit over but it's old and I wouldn't intentionally overstress it like that. And the worse the power factor of the loads, the less wattage it can handle (since the amps will likely max out before it hits the 4000W max).

Definitely more gymnastics and load management required for a 4000W unit. But it runs what we need. Currently running two window A/C units.

Added the dehumidifier since it's on the top (A) leg.
It got caught in a rich bog so I had to lean it out a bit. I had to richen it originally because it wouldn't run without choke. Probably sediment in the bowl since it does so much sitting.

Tripped a breaker on the generator. Reset it....needs gas soon.

Seemed to run out of gas around the 2h mark. Tank wasn't empty but could be a function of angle. Filled up and running again. Topped off oil.

Somewhat ironically, I flipped off the gen breaker because I was about to shut it down. It ran unloaded for probably 5 seconds and then died due to lack of fuel.

Didn't run out of gas but refilled anyway. Added more oil.

6:20pm gas and oil.

8:35pm gas and oil.

Turned on the generator around 7:15am.

9:20am gas/oil.
