Mrwizzard- Glad to see some old friends are still here and the 1440 is still more than enough, by about a factor of 2, since I have given up on running the A/C with it. LOL Been pretty busy what with getting married, divorced, jail, all that kind of horrible stuff.
Professor- Glad to hear about the cart. Did you do a DIY job or did you order one of those ready made cart roofs with the panels built in? The honda EU is back to OEM condition, the propane conversion just didnt work out with the eco throttle no matter how hard I tried. I did get the land, 40 acres for $4500 with an incredible 360* view from the top of my mountian, it is the tallest hill for at least 10 miles in all directions plus I can see another mountian 40 miles away. I plan to put a windmill generator on top where the wind always blows hard and also some raido antennas up there too.
Next project is a propane converted Kohler Command 18hp connected to the gen head from my non-working Champ as well as an automotive A/C compressor and alternator. So from a single package I will get 12V DC, 120/240V AC, and air conditioning.
Speaking of my champ; I never did figure out what the problem is. It ran great for about a month, then it ran out of gas one day and has never run since then. I have removed the head several times to check the head gasket, valves and cylinder walls for scratches. I never found anything that looked even a little bit bad, yet the engine feels like it has zero compression.
