starting a Yamaha 3000 iSEB in extreme cold
Hi Folks,
I found a magnetic "stick on" electric heater that is thin enough to slide just under the case on the exhaust side of the generator. It does 200 watts and if I tuck a blanket around the generator should get it warm enough to start fairly quickly.
As a side bonus, if necessary, I can use that same heater on my propane tank.
Just in case I also added a charging cable that I can power from the 7 pin connector, or from a battery charger, or from a "snap pack".
I don't think I'll have any issues with starting now, but I will migrate to 5-30 Amzoil fully synthetic for the winter.
