Here's my changfa S195 and 7.5KW ST in their house.

The cooling lines thermosiphon out through a dielectric union which
houses a NAPA 295 thermostat and enter a Honda zero pressure radiator
mounted outside.

A ProTran six circuit transfer swith is used for loading.

Exhaust muffler faces street side at rear of property, neighbors say they
can't hear it at all.

I turned the top of my air cleaner upside down to reduce are restriction
at my 5,630 altitude.

Regards,

OilCan

Perfect!  BTW, that radiator outdoors is contributing to global warming.  ;)

Yeah, I feel real bad about that when it's -8 in Colorado.

Nice! I want to do something like that when I get my round tuit.
Hey Oilcan, is that plug in the top of the head where the punk goes for cold weather starting?

Actually, I pack the start plug with "charcloth" and it glows and self ignites as low temperature.  The
manual says to heat it with a torch but by the time you screw it back in it's kinda futile.  What few
low temperature starts I've done in Colorado with it the charcloth worked.  Making your own charcloth
is easy.  Keep it in a well-sealed container after it's made to keep humidity away.

You raise a good point about punk...I haven't given that a try.
