Lurking Brad,
Nice to see a post from you again. Now, that I think about the location of a sensor at the genhead exhaust, seems reasonable and another on the cylinder head. Under heavy load, the temp on my cylinder head did rise to 220 degrees with 90 degrees ambient and on the cover of the genhead to 200 degrees ( just luck I guess it didn't burn out) with the DP 3500EC in a well ventilated enclosure in the factory genset compartmant of the old MH. With these temps, the genset would shut down after about 20 minutes with a load above 21 amps. I never checked the genhead exhaust temp. That would have been interesting. My Champion is now back to stock, in the genhouse, so when we have a 90 degree day I will check the temp of the genhead exhaust with a load of 3000w and see what I get and how long it will operate.
