But I don't remember what I got. I had it powering a 5KW resistive load for about 1/2 hour. Seemed like it used about between 1/2 and 1 gallon of gas for that test, at least twice as much as an OHV air-cooled genny. On the other hand, with the slow RPMs, water cooling, and very high quality internal construction, I bet it could run for years as a primary power source, compared to today's disposable "emergency" generators. It would be an ideal unit to convert to natural gas and use to provide building hot water and space heating as well as electricity.
