And we will be even better friends if you can find me a 6hp petrol engine to replace the 120Volt electric one I pulled of before I packed it into the crate!

U\O

Why don't you just use on of these? No CO then.

Because being a 6hp motor that's about 5kwatts. So you would need a supply that could handle an output of more than the motors output due to the motors lack of effieciancy. ie. The motor needs more input of watts than it will deliver output due to energy loss in the conversion of energy. So you would need one better than the one that costs $1190... Far cheaper to go petrol and then your fill station becomes portable too! Also in Australia we get electricity from coal, this emits CO2 just like petrol however you are more likely to make more co2 useing household electricity than petrol due to all the in-effieciancies to get the power to your house... Unless of course you have an 8kw solar system on your roof and it's a 30 degree day...

Yeah...what he said...

I decided to bring it for the portability...places like the GOR where I cant get a fill.
Also I pulled the electric motor off for shipping...it weighed 20kgs.

Ok...I am now down to not having to take my socks off to count how many days left!!

But the big question is... do you have to take your mitts of one hand or both hands?

both hands...

I always said one day I would put on a touque and mitts and start traveling.. the first place people asked me what they were is where I would move to! I did say I would bypass Hixon... they have some really winners there
