One of the challenges in designing an effective enclosure is controlling the heat build-up. Even though these generators are cheap having one seize because of a lack of cooling air flow is a major pita.
With this in mind I wonder if a normally open, heat activated switch could be wired in series with the low oil switch to shut down the generator if high heat conditions where reached.
The wiring diagrams show that the low oil switch is a short to ground and any number of safety switches could be included in this circuit if they also shorted to ground.
Therefore, you could set maximum air, cylinder head, oil, or exhaust temperatures with an automatic shutdown if any were exceeded.
Just a thought...
Even though I sold my 2 Power Pros I'm still involved with them as my neighbors install them in the front compartments of their 5vers.
When these are finished I'll try to get pictures to post here.
