Here a few pics from the internals ,got like 5liters on here now .

Here a few pics of the scematic .
The tree phase is 250volts and the other 7 volts for the elektronics i think.



Greetings wiebe.

Great info, that's a lot higher voltage than I would have guessed!

I'd like to have the alternator/inverter off this:-

I've been playing off and on with my little 800/1000W Harbor Freight and Tool 2 stroke for the last year. I like it so much, that when I saw Home Depot with a sale I had to buy a second one. On sale for the rest of this month for $98 with FREE shipping. This one has the 12VDC charging plug which my H.F. didnt come with. If you want to order one, here is the link.

Great unit for the money - for what it was intended for. Rememeber to change the spark plug to something better and break it in for 25 hours of no more than 75% load to seat rings properly and allow maximum load later on.

That's interesting, a 2 stroke with low oil shut down. It must have a separate tank and a mixer. I wonder if the 12v outlet is voltage regulated, and if so to what voltage? Oops just noticed it's another item I'm not allowed to have in California, I guess were free to be regulated to death here.

I think the low oil shutdown is just coppied from another generator's description.  I really don't think these 2-strokes have crankcase oil.

They don't, and I'm thinking the brushless motor should be brushless generator.

Check your manual, it probably makes reference to a glow plug too !  
Those guys mix up so much stuff in their manuals that the user does'nt know what he's got.
My JinagDong diesel manual has so many translation errors that it reads like a comedy book written by a 3 year old

I have actually had some very good laughs almost to the point of shedding tears over some of those Chinese manuals, there was one example that inadvertently reffered to a particular sex act that still makes me laugh when I think about it.

Break through success. I can now reliability start each of my 5000 but AC units with my Harbor Freight & Tool 800/1000 watt generator and it cost me $7.50 for each unit. I installed a Supco SPP6 hart start capacitor in parallel with the existing run capacitor. This allows the little two stroke generator to roll over the compressor and start. The AC units only draw about 550 watts when running so the SPP6 was the cheapest solution I could find and it works. I emphasize get the SPP6 not the SPP6E unit which also costs a little more.
